　　stand up guy，亦可写作stand-up guy，褒义，意思是指诚实可靠，有责任感，值得信赖的人。

　　英文释义：A "stand up guy" is a man who is responsible, loyal, honest, trustworthy, etc.--someone who has good character.

　　起源：

　　The allusion is to someone who would be prepared to stand up and fight on your side if called on, i.e. one who, in the words of the earlier (late 19th century) phrase, would 'stand up and be counted'.

　　The phrase is American. The earliest citation is in the Pennsylvania newspaper The Charleroi Mail, April 1935:

　　"But he seems to be a stand up guy and loyalty, with him, seems to be less a virtue than obsession."
