【單詞解析】

persist：堅(jiān)持、持續(xù)

實(shí)用短語(yǔ)：persist in 堅(jiān)持

實(shí)用例句：The bad weather will persist over the district. 壞天氣將在那地區(qū)持續(xù)下去。

小編注：

以上句子中用到了一個(gè)單詞：adapt，它的意思是“（使）適應(yīng)”，經(jīng)常會(huì)用 adapt oneself to，使自己適應(yīng)。例：She adapted herself quickly to the new climate. 她很快就適應(yīng)了這種新氣候。其中的 oneself 也可以去掉，例如：He has not yet adapted to the climate. 他還沒(méi)適應(yīng)這種氣候。此外 adapt 還能解釋為“改編；改造”，這時(shí)它的常用搭配是+for，例：The author is going to adapt his play for television. 作者將把他的劇本改編成電視劇。
