insist on 与persist in 有什么区别

如题所述

insist=in
+
sist,“坚持做一件事”,搭配insist
on
persist=per
(through)+
sist,“坚持反复做同一件事”,搭配persist
in
英语里的insist
和persist两个词。在英汉词典里查都是"坚持"的意思,用汉语翻译根本看不出这两个词的区别。而这种区别如果你查询或者使用英英词典的话,一开始就会明白。请看在longman
web
dictionary
中对insist的解释是:to
say
firmly
and
repeatedly
that
something
is
true,
especially
when
other
people
think
it
may
not
be
true(尽管别人说某件事情不对,也执意要说而且是重复不断地说那件事情是对的);而对persist的解释是:to
continue
to
do
something,
although
this
is
difficult,
or
other
people
warn
you
not
to
do
it.
(继续不断地做某件事情,尽管这件事可能很难,或他人劝你不要做)。两者的差别通过查英英词典就一目了然了。
