本人一直很困惑的一个问题：“状态”有时候叫Status，有时候叫State。这两个词有什么区别？我们在设计数据表或者对象时怎么取舍？
最近google到一个合理的解释：

It depends on the context
State generally refers to the entire state of an entity - all its values and relationships at a particular point in time (usually, current)
Status is more of a time-point, say, where something is at in a process or workflow - is it dirty (therefore requiring saving), is it complete, is it pending input, etc

翻译如下：

这取决于使用环境。
State一般囊括了一个实体的所有状态。
Status更像是一个时间点，比如在一个流程中，这个对象是dirty、complete或者pending input等等。
