This place remains cool all summer.
这个地方整个夏天都凉爽。
stay强调“某人[物]继续留在原地而不离开”, 如:
He stayed to see the end of the game.
他一直呆到比赛结束。

These verbs mean to have and maintain in one's possession or control.
这些动词都表示“使…作为并保持在自己的所有或控制之下”。

Retain 意思是继续持有，尤指在有可能失去的情况下：
“The executor . . . is allowed to pay himself first, by retaining in his hands so much as his debt amounts to” (William Blackstone).
“遗嘱执行人可以先自己支付，但需在手上保存有与自己的债务相当的钱” （威廉·布莱克斯通）。

Withhold 暗指不情愿或拒绝给予、赋予或允许：
