maintain只用作及物動詞,后面可接表示生命、法律、秩序、和平、友誼等名詞作賓語; 也可接that從句,還可接以“to be+ adj .”充當補足語的復合賓語。

v.(動詞)

maintain, assert, defend, justify, vindicate

這組詞都有“堅持”的意思。其區別在于:maintain指堅持維護某種主張或某一事物,暗示在反對意見面前或在爭論當中懷有堅定不移的信念; assert強調把自己的信念強加于人或者企圖硬要別人信服或認可; defend專指捍衛某種行動、意見、決定等以免受到非難、懲罰或責備; vindicate特指在受到非難、責備、輕視等時為自己辯明或剖白; justify指用無可辨別的理由“證明…有道理或有根據”。

☆ 13世紀中期進入英語，直接源自盎格魯法語的meintenir；最初源自拉丁語的manu tenere：manu (手） + tenere (握著，拿著），意為用手拿著。
