we stood to lose little
这里的little
One had winter we watched the river creep up the lower meadows.All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little.We were,however,worried about our nearest neighbors,whose farm was low lying and who were newcomers to the district

Answer 1

stand在这里我觉得应该是保持不变,坚持的意思
little应该是代表少,减少损失.
LZ最好结合上下文语境来体会,stand和little的意思有很多,单纯一个句子很难判断.
