pertinacious (per tin AY shuss) This adjective means “holding on to a belief or a plan,” “persistent.” It’s a near-twin of tenacious. (That there should be two such similar adjectives—and with varying spelling—is one of the mysterious delights of the English language.)

  • No one is so pertinacious as a four-year-old who wants his parent to purchase the Whameroo, a toy advertised every three minutes on television.
  • Edison’s tenacious belief that he could invent a light bulb sustained him through several false attempts.

固执的(per-tin AY-shuss)这个形容词的意思是“坚持信念或计划”,“坚持不懈”。这几乎是坚韧的双胞胎。(应该有两个如此相似的形容词,并且拼写不同,这是英语的神秘乐趣之一。)
没有人像一个四岁的孩子那样固执,他想让父母购买Whamero,一种每三分钟在电视上做一次广告的玩具。
爱迪生坚信自己可以发明一个灯泡,这让他经历了几次错误的尝试。
