以下是常见场景的例句,帮助理解用法:
表示“持续推进或保留某事物”,即使进展不顺。
The team persisted with their original plan despite multiple setbacks.
(尽管多次受挫,团队仍坚持最初的计划。)
The company persisted with the new marketing campaign even though sales didn’t improve immediately.
(即使销量没有立即提升,公司仍继续推行新的营销活动。)
表示“持续做某件事”,通常指需要长期投入的行为。
She persisted with practicing the violin every day, even when she felt frustrated.
(即使感到挫败,她仍坚持每天练习小提琴。)
I’ve persisted with my morning jog for over a year—now it’s a habit.
(我坚持晨跑一年多了——现在它成了习惯。)
表示“反复提出某请求,直到达成目标”。
He persisted with his request for a raise until his boss finally agreed.
(他一直坚持要求加薪,直到老板最终同意。)
The child persisted with asking for a puppy until her parents gave in.
(孩子反复要求养小狗,直到父母让步。)
需注意 persist with 与 persist in 的细微差异:
persist with 更强调“坚持的对象”(如项目、习惯、请求);
persist in 更强调“坚持的行为本身”(如 persist in working hard 坚持努力工作)。
例如:
She persisted with her piano lessons.(坚持“钢琴课”这个对象)
She persisted in practicing the piano.(坚持“练习钢琴”这个行为)
主语:通常是人或团体(如个人、团队、公司),因为“坚持”是主动行为;
不能接不定式:避免说 persist with to do,需用 persist with doing(动名词);
时态变化:过去式 persisted with,现在分词 persisting with,如:
He is persisting with his research despite funding cuts.(他仍在坚持研究,尽管资金减少。)
总之,persist with 是表达“执着坚持”的实用短语,核心是“不放弃某对象/行为”,适用于描述克服困难后的持续行动。
