那么今天我们说一下这里什么叫做standing order？
站立着的订单吗？
standing 在这里并不理解成为 站立的，而是永久的，长期的；
permanent, rather than formed or created when necessary:
eg: a standing committee

eg: You know you have a standing invitation to come and stay anytime you're in town.
跟你说，你任何时间到镇上来，我家大门随时为你敞开，欢迎你来做客。

eg: It's a standing joke (= something that a group of people regularly laugh at).
这是我们这群人中大家都经常用的一个梗。
