adjective(形容词)
小知识
Something that's sustained is held or maintained for a long time, keeping its strength or level consistent and unbroken. A singer's sustained note goes on and on, and a judge's sustained ruling continues to be upheld.
The adjective sustained, which describes something that goes on uninterrupted for a long time, comes from the Latin word sustinere, “to hold up, support, or endure.” Something sustained can be either good or bad: a sustained conflict is never good, but a sustained peace is something to be fought for.
