词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

v.(动词)

maintain的基本意思是“保持”“继续”,指采取某种手段或措施保留一种有价值的东西,使其获得保养并维持良好状况,有时也指使事情能正常持续下去,引申可表示“坚持”“主张”“供给”“赡养”等。

maintain只用作及物动词,后面可接表示生命、法律、秩序、和平、友谊等名词作宾语; 也可接that从句,还可接以“to be+ adj .”充当补足语的复合宾语。

v.(动词)

maintain, assert, defend, justify, vindicate

这组词都有“坚持”的意思。其区别在于:maintain指坚持维护某种主张或某一事物,暗示在反对意见面前或在争论当中怀有坚定不移的信念; assert强调把自己的信念强加于人或者企图硬要别人信服或认可; defend专指捍卫某种行动、意见、决定等以免受到非难、惩罚或责备; vindicate特指在受到非难、责备、轻视等时为自己辩明或剖白; justify指用无可辨别的理由“证明…有道理或有根据”。

☆ 13世纪中期进入英语，直接源自盎格鲁法语的meintenir；*初源自拉丁语的manu tenere：manu (手） + tenere (握着，拿着），意为用手拿着。
