Stop is more general and can refer to motion (example: "I will stop the car at the light") whereas cease implies that something has ended (example: "they ceased all military activity in the region").
Stop更普遍，涉及移动的情况（例如：“我将汽车停在路灯旁”），而stop则表示事情已经结束（例如：“他们停止了该地区的所有军事活动”）。
"Cease" is more proper and more firm and considered a command, and used often legally.
“停止”更正式，被认为是命令，通常在法律上使用。”
"Stop" is less formal, "hey, stop doing that."
“停止”不是那么正式，“嘿，别那样了。”
Cease is an intransitive verb, i.e. You can cease something. But something cannot be ceased. Just like the word "cry".“cease”是一个不及物动词，即您可以停止某事。但是，某些事情不能被停止。
"Cease" also has the meaning of "discontinue" as opposed to simply stop. “cease”也具有“不继续”的含义，而不是简单地停止。When something has been going on for a while and has now stopped, you can say it has ceased. 当某件事持续了一段时间并且现在已经停止时，您可以说它已经“cease”了。Also, you can stop a car by braking, but it would be weird to say you cease a car by braking.另外，您可以通过制动来“stop”汽车，但是通过制动来“cease”汽车会很别扭。
