continue的用法

1.continue to do=continue doing,即表示繼續(xù)做某事,其后既可接動(dòng)名詞也可接不定式,且意義相同.如：

They continued to meet [meeting] daily.他們繼續(xù)每天都見面.

He continued to write [writing] while in hospital.他住院時(shí)他繼續(xù)寫作.

2.表示繼續(xù)維持某一情況時(shí),其后可直接跟名詞作賓語,也可先接介詞with 再接賓語.如：

We will continue (with) the payments for another year.我們這樣的報(bào)酬還要維持1年.

3.按傳統(tǒng)語法,表示中斷以后再繼續(xù),其后通常只能是story,speech,journey,strike 這樣的名詞,而不能接不定式或動(dòng)名詞,但現(xiàn)代英語已打破此規(guī)則.如：

We continued working [to work] after the break.休息后我們繼續(xù)工作.

4.由于可用于及物或不及物動(dòng)詞,所以有時(shí)用主動(dòng)語態(tài)和被動(dòng)語態(tài)意思差不多.如：

The story continues [is continued] in the next issue of the magazine.這個(gè)故事在該雜志的下一期里繼續(xù)刊載.

5.比較 continue doing sth 與 continue by doing sth：前者表示“繼續(xù)做某事”,后者表示“接著做某事”.如：

He continued reading (=to read) all night.他通宵在看書.

He talked about Keats,and continued by reading us a poem.他談了濟(jì)慈,接著給我們朗誦了一首詩.

6.continued on page 15與continued from page 15 所用介詞不同,意思也不同：前者指“下續(xù)第15頁”,后者指“上接第15頁”.

7.可用作連系動(dòng)詞,其后可接形容詞、介詞短語等.如：

We hope the weather will continue fine.我們希望天氣繼續(xù)很好.

Mother continues in weak health.母親身體仍然很虛弱.
