persists
基本解釋
- v.堅(jiān)持；執(zhí)意；繼續(xù)；持續(xù)
詞源解說(shuō)
- 16世紀(jì)30年代進(jìn)入英語(yǔ)，直接源自中古法語(yǔ)的persister；最初源自古典拉丁語(yǔ)的persistere：per- (徹底地) + sistere (停頓，站著不動(dòng))，意為堅(jiān)持。
用法辨析
- persist的基本意思是盡管遭到反對(duì),受到警告或遇到失敗,還是固執(zhí)地堅(jiān)持自己的信念、行為,導(dǎo)致令人遺憾的后果,用于不好或不正確的一面。
- persist一般用作不及物動(dòng)詞,有時(shí)也可用作及物動(dòng)詞。作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),可接that從句,意思是“繼續(xù)說(shuō),堅(jiān)持說(shuō),反復(fù)說(shuō)”。若表示“堅(jiān)持該怎么做”時(shí),從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用虛擬語(yǔ)氣,即(should)+動(dòng)詞原形; 作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),可表示盡管有不利條件,非常艱難,但還頑強(qiáng)地繼續(xù)存在。persist與in而不與on連用,與in連用,表示“堅(jiān)持繼續(xù)做某事”, in后可接 v -ing; 與with連用,表示“堅(jiān)持…”。
