請看幾年前《中國日報》的一篇相關報道：The latest publicity feast in director Feng Xiaogang's not-yet-completed "The Banquet" is the issue of Zhang Ziyi's nude scenes in the blockbuster film. Now a woman who says she was Zhang'sstand-inwants credit where credit is due.

Actress Shao Xiaoshan said she substituted for Zhang in some bathing and sex scenes. However, she is not listed in the credits.

如果仔細閱讀報道中的兩段文字，即使不熟知“stand-in”，您也會在隨即出現的“substitute”中猜出它的大致意思“替身，代替”。Stand-in（替身）源于動詞詞組“stand in for”（暫時代替某人），例如：I'm standing in for the regular man while he's on holiday.（那位正式職員休假了，由我暫時頂替他的職位。）

在這里，順便提一下我們之前講過的stuntman（特技表演者），stuntman也可做“替身”，不過更強調“身懷絕技、有某種特異功能”的替身演員。
