Keep on

继续前进

●Keep的基本含义是“长期持有”。比如,替我保管钥匙“keep my keys”。进而可以转为“存放,保存”的含义。比如,把钱存放在安全的地方“keep money in a safe place”;保留起来,以备将来之需“keep this for future use”。天冷了,要穿上保暖的衣服抵御寒冷“keep you warm”。否则的话,冻病了可要在床上躺上一个星期“keep you in bed for a week”。

●如果“keep”后面加上人,指的是养活,加上动物指饲养。比如,养活一个大家庭“have a large family to keep”;我养了一只狗“keep a dog”。如果是“keep a flower shop”,可不是你养活花店。正好应该倒过来,花店养活你,即开花店维持生计。在这里,“keep”意为经营。生活的阅历越丰富,人们越清楚什么事情可做,什么事情不可为。明智的人总是谨慎地避免做不可为的事情“keep from doing impossible things”。而经过自己认真考虑所选定的事情,会坚持到底“keep at it”或用“keep up doing”表达。不管周围的人是否为你加油,你都应该继续下去“keep on”,在艰难前行的路途中,保持清醒的头脑。在很多时候,对于奋斗的人来说,跟上周围的变化“keep up with the changes”并不重要,紧紧把握住“keep hold of”自己的真实感受才最重要。
