adverb

◆She regularly wins prizes for her designs.她的設計經常得獎。NOTE 辨析 Frequent or regular? Frequent is the more common of these words in this meaning; however, regular is used more often in more active examples, when you are talking about people doing things, rather than things that happen. 表達此義較常用frequent。不過，regular更常用於比較主動、積極的情況，指人們經常主動做的事，而非經常發生的事◆Take frequent exercise. Regular also means 'happening at fixed intervals' and sometimes it may not be clear which meaning is intended: a regular bus service may mean frequent buses and/or buses at the same time every day or hour. * regular亦可表示有規律的、定時的，有時究竟指哪個意思並不清楚。a regular bus service既可指頻繁往來的公共汽車，又可指定時發車的公共汽車。  ➡ See also the entry for regular 另見regular條 ■ persistent pəˈsɪstənt; NAmE pərˈsɪstəntrepeated often, in a way that is annoying and cannot be stopped 無休止的；反複出現的；沒完沒了的◆The most common symptom is a persistent cough.最常見的症狀是持續不斷的咳嗽。◆He resigned over persistent rumours of his part in the scandal.一直有傳言稱他卷入了那樁醜聞，他因而辭職。▸ persistently

adverb

◆a prison for juveniles who persistently reoffend關押少年慣犯的監獄■ perpetual pəˈpetʃuəl; NAmE pərˈpetʃuəl [usually before noun] (especially written) repeated very often, in a way that is annoying 一再出現的；無盡無休的；沒完沒了的◆The perpetual interruptions made conversation difficult.不斷的打擾讓談話難以繼續下去。◆Lack of time is a perpetual problem for nurses on the ward.對在病房工作的護士來說，時間不夠是個長期問題。▸ perpetually

adverb

Perpetual is used more in personal and imaginative writing and to talk about annoying personal habits or problems. Continual and continuous are generally less frequent in this meaning, but are often preferred in spoken English and less formal contexts. All these words also have the meaning 'continuing for a long time without stopping'; continuous is more frequent in that meaning, and some people think it should not be used to mean 'repeated many times', but in fact it often is. * persistent多用於陳述事實，描述病症或社會問題。perpetual多用於個人化和虛構的文字，指個人習慣或問題令人厭煩的。continual和continuous一般較少用於此義，但經常用於口語和不太正式的語境中。所有這些詞亦另含“接連不斷的、連續的”之義，continuous較常用於此義。有些人認爲continuous不應表示“多次重複的、頻繁的”之義，但事實上這個詞常常這樣用。  ➡ See also the entry for continuous 另見continuous條 ■ habitual həˈbɪtʃuəl (of an action) done often, especially in a way that is annoying or difficult to stop （行爲）沒完沒了的，養成惡習的，上瘾的◆The mechanic had been dismissed for habitual lateness.這名技工因老是遲到已被解僱。  see also habit ⇨ habit , habitually ⇨ often
