continues
基本解釋
- v.繼續(xù)；連續(xù)；維持；持續(xù)
詞源解說
- 14世紀中期進入英語，直接源自古法語的continuer；最初源自古典拉丁語的continuare，意爲制作或連續(xù)的。
用法辨析
- continue的基本意思是“繼續(xù)”,指動作或狀態(tài)的繼續(xù)或持續(xù)不中斷?？杀硎疽患乱恢痹谧?中間沒有停歇; 也可以表示中間有一個中斷,又接著做下去。
- continue可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞。用作及物動詞時可接名詞、動名詞、動詞不定式或that從句作賓語,也可以接as短語充儅補足語的複郃賓語。continue還可引出直接引語。
- continue還可用作系動詞,接(to be+) adj. 或as+ n. 作表語, to be?？梢允÷浴?
- still continue是個很多餘的用法，應(yīng)該避免，去掉still，用continue就可以了；
- continue一般後麪常接不定式，比較普遍，而很少用現(xiàn)在分詞。不過在作及物動詞時，把現(xiàn)在分詞看做動名詞也是可以的。The baby continued to cry all night. 這個嬰兒一晚上都在哭。
- continue後麪接不定式或者現(xiàn)在分詞，都解釋爲“不停地……”而不是“停止後繼續(xù)……”的意思。The baby continued to cry (或crying) all night. 句子不可改爲The baby continued to cry (或 crying) at eleven o'clock。
- continue解釋爲“(在停止後）繼續(xù)……”的時候，後接的賓語常有story， article， narrative，discourse，journey等。The author will continue the story in another volume. 這個作加會在另一冊中繼續(xù)這個故事。
- continue作不及物動詞時，後常接表語。Her temper continued uncertain. 她的脾氣持續(xù)不穩(wěn)定。
