"Stand on (one's) dignity" nghĩa là tự trọng, giữ phẩm giá của mình.

Ví dụ
He apologizes every time he has to speak in such a way, for he was not a man to stand on his dignity.

This was no time to stand on his dignity: if he failed to stop Jeannie, he would have no dignity left anyway.

You'll never forget the injustice of that blow as long as I the blood throbs in your veins. You will always stand up for your dignity, even before you'd defend (bảo vệ) your country. Saving face drains your energy and becomes another complex.

It was all my fault. I had neglected (bỏ rơi) Kirk, and I had neglected Bill, and Kirk couldn't stand it any longer. But now that this has happened, don't you see that it will be all right again? You can't stand on your dignity when you're up against real trouble.
