我们学习英语单词的时候， 要尽量发挥联想。现在我们联想一个单词：stall。stall的名词解释： "货摊,摊位,售货亭；牲畜棚；马廐；牛棚；(房间内的)小隔间,淋浴室,洗手间； (车辆发动机的)熄火；(车辆的)抛锚"，到它的动词用法，“ (车辆发动机的)熄火；(车辆的)抛锚；故意拖延(以赢得时间)”， 有没有一种联想，可以关联这些意思呢？请同学们自己去观察，联想。这里只提供思路，尽量启发同学们的英语思维，不能机械地去记单词的表面意义，一定要有这个单词的“全局观”， 整体意义，可以不可以概括出一个简单的概念出来？然后观察其各个意思之间，有没有一种关联。
这个单词的学习，给一个比较常见的例子，The owner stalled him until the police arrived. 请同学们自己翻译出来。
