with a bent, hunched back
Having your back and shoulders bent forward all the time, often because you are old, weak, or have bad posture.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is stooped
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *stooped* for any action of bending forward, where the verb *bent* or *leaning* is more natural. Use the adjective *stooped* mainly for someone's general posture, especially for older or physically weakened people, not for a quick movement.

bent the body forward/down
Bent your body forward and down, usually to reach something low or on the ground.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] stooped to [a lower position]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse *stooped* with *stopped* in speech or writing, which changes the meaning completely. Also, they may overuse *stooped* where *bent down* is more natural; *stooped* often sounds slightly more descriptive or literary than *bent down*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
bent down (Very close in meaning; more common in everyday speech and slightly simpler.)
|
crouched (Suggests bending the knees and lowering the whole body, not just the upper body.)
متضاد الفاظ
stood up (Describes returning to a straight, vertical position after bending or sitting.)
|
straightened up (Focuses on making the back straight again after being bent or stooped.)

lowered one's moral standards
Did something you think is bad or low, below your usual moral level, especially to get what you want.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] stooped to [something / doing something]
عام غلطی:
Learners may treat *stooped to* here as a physical action, translating it as if someone bent down rather than lowered their moral standards. In this meaning, *stooped to* is figurative and usually followed by a negative action like *lying*, *cheating*, or *insults*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
sank (Often used with 'so low'; emphasizes falling to a worse moral level.)
|
degraded himself/herself (More formal; stresses loss of dignity or self-respect.)
متضاد الفاظ
rose above it (Means refusing to behave badly or respond in a low way, even when provoked.)
|
held to his principles (Emphasizes keeping one's moral standards instead of lowering them.)
