例句:Mooncakes remain an essential part of Mid-autumn Festival.
remain强调状态的稳定性或延续性。
“remain” 后面可以接形容词,常接 “un”开头的形容词,比如 unclear, unchanged, unanswered, unproven。来看两个例子:
“remain“后也可以接名词,比如常见的有 a secret, an enigma:
The fate of the injured remains unclear.
“remain”后面接“unclear”,意思是伤者的命运未卜。很多关于事故、灾难的新闻报道中会出现这句话。
Whether the actor killed himself or was murdered remains a secret.
“remain”后面接“a secret”,强调的是这个演员的死因一直是个谜。这里的名词 “a secret” 也可以换成 un开头的形容词,因此这句话还可以这么写:
It remains unknown whether the actor killed himself or was murdered.
