用法讲解
- 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。
- 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”。

- 这组词的共同意思是“贮藏”。其区别是:
- 1.store指在一个特殊的地方贮藏大量的东西,所堆存的量可以很大,也可以较小; save意为“保存,挽救,节约”,表示特别急需、紧迫,一旦失去就难以用其他东西代替的物品,或者特指紧急挽救某人或某物使其脱离损害、危险或死亡,也可表示贮藏、节约以防他日之需,这时save往往指点滴积累而非一日之功; maintain意为“维持,保持”,着重指在数量上的节约使用并不断补充,意味着只需按惯例去做,便可维持现状,而不必担心枯竭。多用于指小心维护机器设备、房屋,甚至精心饲养家禽等,进行规律性地保养维修以保持良好的状态,也用于抽象事物,如维持健康或友谊等; preserve意为“保护,维护”,是较正式的用语,强调使用某种特殊方法将一珍贵事物妥善保存使其不受丝毫损伤,甚至完整如初; conserve意为“保存,保藏”,指对所拥有的某种珍贵物品、某种资源或有实用价值的东西合理而科学的使用,不浪费,并暗示一旦用完,将难以找到别的东西来代替它; hoard意为“贮存,囤积”,指对贵重物品或粮食等令人不愉快的囤积,如出于恐惧、贪婪或精神失常等; stockpile意为“大量贮存”,一般指贮藏原料或必需品供将来之用。
