北京地铁广播“please stand firm”有没问题？

营成礼

用中文思维很容易理解，无非就是“请站稳”。同样的意思，北京地铁用“stand firm”，广州地铁用“stand still”，哪个表达更自然贴切？stand firm是不是多用于立场和意见上？

车子总是晃悠，still不可能，stand firm更客观。尽管 习语stand fast/firm大多用作立场抽象类

You could, I guess, although it might sound a little over-formal.
The problem with "stand firm" in the first place is that it has an idiomatic meaning which is more common than its literal meaning. The overwhelming majority of the time it's used (at least in my experience), it means "stick to your opinion, don't let people impose their will on you."
"Stand still" is probably what you actually want in this sentence.

Thank you. It sounds like something shouted to the men at a place like Rorke's_Drift when the Zulus were making their final charge. ('Stand firm!', not 'hold the handrail!' ;) )

I don't find "stand firm" objectionable, merely semantically unsuited to the context. It seems to imply an almost military stiffness of posture, while the intended meaning here is only that you should not walk.
What is objectionable isn't the vocabulary, but the inanity of the whole setup, with sensible adults being treated like five-year-olds.

虽然我英文水平差，但是从老外的评论来看，他们不觉得“stand firm”词通意达，不知道北京地铁有没问过老外他们是怎么听这句话的。

支那地铁车厢屁话真多。不说站稳了，乘客就倒下了？还有什么【请给有需要的乘客让个座】，醉了。
还好没说车厢里不准吸烟拉屎。
