vocabulary简明 Stature is the another way to say "height of a person," like the surprising stature of the movie star who seems so much taller in his action movies.
vocabulary扩展 Stature comes from the Latin word statura, meaning "height, size of body, growth," but today, it also means "a high level of respect gained by achievement." For example, after you win a Nobel Prize, your new stature will bring new fans, more sales of your book, invitations to many exclusive dinner parties, and maybe even your picture on magazine covers all over the world.
