【词义辨析】

continue resume succeed go on
continue: 普通用词。或指持续而不停止,或有一段中断后又继续下去。
resume: 指中断后的继续。
succeed: 侧重指有规律地连续。
go on: 通俗用词,多用于口语中。go on+-ing表暂停后继续做原事,相当于后继续的内容与原来的内容相同。go on+不定式指做完某事后,接着做不同的另一件事。
persist last endure continue
persist: 强调超过了指定的或正常的时间。
last: 着重存在的时间相当长,超过正常的或所期望的时间。
endure: 与last同义,但还指经受住,有能耐忍受而并不受损。
continue: 多指过程,强调持续而无终止,常含不间断之意。
