1个回答

  • continuous和continual的区别:

    (1)搭配区别:

    continuous做表语和定语 be continious或continious+名词

    continual只做定语 continual+名词

    (2)词意的不同:

    continual:反复,不停止(happen repeatedly)

    eg:continual knocks on the door反复的敲门声

    continous:连续性的=unbroken(lack of interruption)

    eg:a continuous line一条不间断的线

    continuous pain/headache持续的痛/头痛

    而continuing的含义是继续,例如:continuing education持续教育/继续教育

    还有continuing development (sustainable development)

    没有反复的含义

    另外简单的版本

    continual
