☆ posture　態度
============================
We usually think of “posture” as meaning the way you stand or sit. For example, “Working at computers all day is bad for your posture.” However, today’s word is a different meaning, it is your “attitude” that you have toward something. In other words, it is your attitude or demeanor. For example:
“He had a posture of defense.” In other words, the way he stood or sat showed that he was defensive.
“There was a grace and freedom in her posture.” In other words, she moved/stood/sat in a way that showed she was relaxed and perhaps elegant.
“The government didn’t change their posture despite the petition.” In other words, the government made a decision to do something, the people disagreed and created a petition to stop them doing it, but they did it anyway.
