Re: [提問]state及status的差別?

state is to describe the condition of someone or something in a particular situation.
Status is often referred to as on what rung of the social ladder you are, or the rank of someone's position in a community or company, or is also used to describe how a process goes and how far has the process gone. For example, I may regularly check in with a school about in what stage my application for admission is at, and I'm talking about the status of this application.

status 指人時暗指相對的地位，指物時相當於 situation。

state 人或物存在或所處的狀態，和 condition 大體上可以互換使用。

situation 較狹義地指由環境綜合決定的特定時間上的狀態或情形。

condition 指一定的原因/條件或環境所產生的特定情況。

再舉例子

水在標準大氣壓下 100 攝氏度時是什麼狀態？state。
