  • 记忆方法

    声音变化法
    sur=在……上(surface在……表面上);因为l=v,所以vive=live,而live=生存,活着,所以survive也是生存,因为是在生存之上,换句话说还有人在生存之下,就说明死了呗。所以相对的,生存之上的就是没死的,幸存的。
    谐音记忆法
    如果不好记,还可用谐音记忆法:
    谐音:塞外无
    联想:塞外气候和环境这么差,肯定无人幸免,都得完蛋,因为很难挺过去的,缺水缺粮,天气还不行。
    于是引申为幸存、挺过。
      verb(动词)

    小知识

    To survive something is to live through it or endure it. You can survive a car accident, or you can survive your little brother's four-hour violin recital.

    The verb survive is from the Latin word supervivere, “live beyond,” or “live longer than.” Originally to survive was used in the legal context as in “you survive your wife and therefore inherit her kingdom.” However, nowadays you might say that you were able to survive a holiday at your in-laws’, that your brother survived his first round of job interviews, or that you will never survive another all-day trip to the zoo in ninety degree heat.

    词语辨析
    survive,last,persist这组词的共同含义是“持续存在”。
    其区别是:
    survive指继续生存,有时含有经历艰险之义;
    persist可以指人持续超过了预料的时间,也可以指坚持,还可指令人厌恶地持续;
    last专指继续存在,而这种存在并不是当然的,往往附有表明时间长短的状语。
