[ɪnˈsɪst]

  • 词义辨析

    insist, persist, stick to

    三者都可作“坚持”解。它们的区别在于:
    1.insist常用于坚持意见、看法、主张等; persist一般用于坚持行动,偶尔用于对某种意见坚持不变; 而stick to多用于坚持原则、计划、决定、诺言、意见等。例如:
    I insist on telling him how great you are.我一定要告诉他你是多么了不起。
    I persisted that we should walk there.我坚持我们步行去。
    Jack always sticks to his promise.杰克总是信守自己的诺言。
    2.insist后接介词on+名词或动名词,也可接that从句; 而persist后接介词in〔with〕加名词或动名词构成的短语,而不接不定式。例如:
    He insisted on trying again, regardless of the consequences.他不顾后果,执意要再试一试。
    He persisted in saying so.他坚持这样说。

    insist,persist,persevere,adhere,cling

    这些动词均有“坚持”之意。
    insist通常用于对意见、主张等的坚持。
