persist和insist的区别?

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

persist
vi.
坚持；固执
持久；持续
是不及物动词,不能单独用,常用的短语有：
persist in sth.
坚持做某事
persist in doing sth.
坚持做某事
persist with
继续努力,坚持不懈
insist可以做及物动词也可以做不及物的,做不及物的后面要加ON或UPON有以下意思：
坚持; 坚决主张; 坚决认为(on,upon)
坚决要求,定要
insist on sb.'s innocence
坚持认为某人无罪
insist on a point
强调一点
insist on being present
坚持要求出席
I insisted on his coming with us.
我坚持要求他和我们一起来.
做及物动词时后面加从句,有以下意思：
坚持; 坚决主张; 坚决认为
坚决要求; 定要
I insist that you (should) be present.
请您务必到场.
They insisted that she (should) be invited.
他们坚持要邀请她.
综上,persist 和insist的用法不同,但可以表示相同或相近的意思,注意后接词及是否及物即可.
