People often show determination in the face of difficulty, danger or suffering; it is often spoken of in the phrase courage and determination. People show tenacity in less important or serious situations, that do not need courage, but do require people to keep trying if they are to succeed. * determination含義比tenacity寬泛。determination指面對困難、危險或苦難時表現出的堅忍不拔,常用於短語courage and determination中;tenacity指在相對不那麽重要或嚴重的情況下表現出的意志,這些情況可以不需要勇氣,但得不停地嘗試以達到成功。■perseveranceˌpɜːsɪˈvɪərəns; NAmEˌpɜːrsəˈvɪrəns [uncountable] (ratherformal, approving) the fact of continuing to try to achieve a particular aim in spite of failure or difficulties毅力;韌性;不屈不撓的精神◆They showed great perseverance in the face of difficulty.他們面對困難表現出堅強的毅力。 see also persevere ⇨ persistNOTE辨析 Persistence or perseverance?People show perseverance in the face of difficult circumstances, usually created by situations outside anyone's control, such as illness, bad economic conditions, or just bad luck. Persistence is necessary when other people create difficulties, either by refusing to help or by actively trying to stop you. * perseverance指面對困難不屈不撓,尤其是面對人力無法控制的境況,如疾病、經濟不景氣或運氣不佳等。persistence則指面對他人造成的困難,如他人拒絕幫助或竭力阻止的情況下仍然堅持不懈。
