doの用法の最後は【代動詞】です。代名詞の動詞版。英語は同じ単語を何回も使うのを嫌うので、動詞も2回目はdoにしてしまうことがよくあります。
Do no yōhō no saigo wa【daidōshi】desu. Daimeishi no dōshi ban. Eigo wa onaji tango o nankai mo tsukau no o kirau no de, dōshi mo nikaime wa do ni shite shimau koto ga yoku arimasu.

2017 April 13, “do no yōhō [Usage of do]”, in Kōkō netto zemi daigaku juken kōza, archived from the original on 2021-04-28

The final usage of do is as ‘pro-verb’, the verb version of a pronoun. Since English doesn't like to use the same word again and again, it is common to use do in place of the verb the second time.

てんじやうてんげゆいがどくそん (hiragana historical)

[tẽ̞ɲ̟d͡ʑo̞ː tẽ̞ŋɡe̞ jɯ̟ᵝi ɡa̠ do̞kɯ̟̊ᵝsõ̞ɴ]

From Literary Chinese 天上天下，唯我獨尊. In Buddhist legend, the phrase that Shakyamuni uttered right after he was born and on his feet taking seven steps about, pointing at heaven with his right hand and at earth with his left. This phrase seems to be a more condensed translation of what the Buddha was supposed to say. Compare the Pali aggō hamasmi lōkassa, jeṭṭō hamasmi lōkassa, seṭṭhō hamasmi lōkassa, ayamantimā jāti, natthidāni punabbhavo from the Dīgha Nikāya. A slightly different form is 天上天下唯我為尊, from a Chinese translation of the Dīrgha Āgama. Although the phrase sounds extremely arrogant, especially given that the one who purportedly said it was the founder of Buddhism, and it is indeed used to describe hubris, the 我 (“I/me; self; ego”) could be interpreted as "humans" in general instead of the Buddha alone, expressing a human-centric attitude in a country dominated by Hinduism, a polytheistic religion.

黙食

[mo̞kɯ̟ᵝɕo̞kɯ̟ᵝ]

From 黙(もく) (moku, “stillness”) + 食(しょく) (shoku, “eating”).

ja-compound

いま学校で、「黙動」「黙食」運動が、深く静かに運行中だ。聞き慣れない言葉だが、つまるところ児童・生徒に「黙って行動」「黙って食事」させる運動。
Ima gakkō de, “mokudō” “mokushoku” undō ga, fukaku shizuka ni unkō chū da. Kiki narenai kotoba da ga, tsumaru tokoro jidō seito ni “damatte kōdō” “damatte shokuji” saseru undō.
In schools now, a “mokudō” “mokushoku” movement is running quietly and deep. They are not familiar words, but ultimately it describes an attempt to make children and students “behave quietly” and “eat silently”.]

[1983 November 13, Yoshikawa Masayoshi, “WHAT gimu kyōiku [WHAT! Compulsory education]”, in Yomiuri Shimbun, page 9

「忘れ物をしない」「背筋を伸ばす」といった規範意識の向上をクラス全体で目指す「学級スタンダード」、給食時に私語を禁止する「黙食」、学力に対する保護者の目……。

2019 October 18, “Kenshō: Jisatsu-zō, kodomo ni heisoku-kan mienu atsuryoku, gakkō-nai ni [Inspections: increased suicides, children feeling hopeless, invisible pressures in schools]”, in Mainichi Shimbun, page 6

“Class standards” seek to impose norms such as “don’t forget items” and “stand with your back straight” for the improvement of the entire class, and at lunch time “silent eating” is the rule as guardians watch for forbidden whispering, in order to improve scholarly ability....

“Wasuremono o shinai” “sesuji o nobasu” to itta kihan ishiki no kōjō o kurasu zentai de mezasu “gakkyū sutandādo”, kyūshoku toki ni shigo o kinshi suru “mokushoku”, gakuryoku ni tai suru hogosha no me…….

静岡県の高校３年生、鈴木絢羽さん（18）は「人が多いところには出かけないようにし、学校でも黙食を徹底していた。
Shizuoka-ken no kōkō san-nensei, Suzuki Ayane-san (jūhachi) wa “hito ga ōi tokoro ni wa dekakenai yō ni shi, gakkō de mo mokushoku o tettei shiteita.

Third-year high school student Ayane Suzuki (18) from Shizuoka prefecture said, “I avoided places with lots of people, and at school even made an effort at eating in silence.”

マスク会食や「黙食」の徹底、「みえ安心おもてなし施設認証制度」認証店の利用、不要不急の県境を越える移動の自粛などを県民に呼びかける。

2022 March 5, “Kansen sai kakudai soshi tettei e [Toward thorough prevention of re-infection]”, in Yomiuri Shimbun, Chūbu morning edition, page 23

We call on citizens of the prefecture to enforce masked dining and “silent eating”, to use the “Mie safe hospitality certification system” for shops, to practice self-restraint against crossing prefecture borders unnecessarily, and so on.

関心が高かった部活動対策では、伊藤院長が「マスクを外して水分補給する時に会話が弾むとリスクが高まる」と強調し、休憩時こそ注意するよう呼びかけた。また、飲食店のにぎわいが戻る中で「僕たちは昼食時にいつまで黙食する必要があるのか」という質問も。

2021 December 6, “Shingata korona ‘taisaku e no rikai fukamete’ Yahata byōin no Itō inchō, chū- kōsei muke kaisetsu dōga [COVID-19: Yahata hospital director Ito produces ‘Deeper understanding of countermeasures’ video for junior- and high-school students]”, in Mainichi Shimbun, Fukuoka local edition, page 23

There was particular concern about countermeasures during club activities, as director Ito emphasized that “If masks are removed when hydrating, conversation or heavy breathing pose a high risk,” and called for continued caution during break times. Also, as crowds return to the cafeteria people question, “How long must we continue to eat in silence at lunchtime?”

浜松まつりの中止が発表された先月二十三日、ゼロコロナの文字とともに思いついた。

2020 April 16, Yamada Eiji, “‘Gan’-baru: zero korona kokoroiki [‘Pray’/Persevere: a spirit of zero COVID]”, in Chunichi Shimbun, page 14

The idea came to me after the cancellation of the Hamamatsu festival was announced on the 23rd of last month, along with the words zero corona.

Hamamatsu matsuri no chūshi ga happyō sareta sengetsu nijūsannichi, zero korona no moji totomoni omoitsuita.

まず徹底した感染封じ込めに取り組み、その間は十分な補償と給付で支える「ゼロコロナ」に転換するべきだ。

At first every effort must be made to completely contain the infection, during which time sufficient compensation and benefits must be provided, followed by transition to “zero COVID”.

Mazu tettei shita kansen fūjikome ni torikumi, sono aida wa jūbun na hoshō to kyūfu de sasaeru “zero korona” ni tenkan suru beki da.

感染が再拡大すれば、今後も経済的影響の大きい都市封鎖を含むゼロコロナ政策を続けざるを得ない状況だ。

2022 June 3, “Shanghai: toshi fūsa kaijo [Shanghai: city-wide lock down lifted]”, in Chunichi Shimbun, page 3

If infections flare up again, they will have no choice but to continue the city-wide zero COVID policy with its significant economic effects.

Kansen ga sai-kakudai sureba, kongo mo keizaiteki eikyō no ōkī toshi fūsa o fukumu zero korona seisaku o tsuzuke zaru o enai jōkyō da.
