Determination has a wider range of meaning than tenacity. People often show determination in the face of difficulty, danger or suffering; it is often spoken of in the phrase courage and determination. People show tenacity in less important or serious situations, that do not need courage, but do require people to keep trying if they are to succeed. * determination含义比tenacity宽泛。determination指面对困难、危险或苦难时表现出的坚忍不拔，常用于短语courage and determination中；tenacity指在相对不那么重要或严重的情况下表现出的意志，这些情况可以不需要勇气，但得不停地尝试以达到成功。■ perseverance /ˌpɜːsɪˈvɪərəns; NAmE ˌpɜːrsəˈvɪrəns/ [uncountable] (rather formal, approving) the fact of continuing to try to achieve a particular aim in spite of failure or difficulties 毅力；韧性；不屈不挠的精神◆They showed great perseverance in the face of difficulty.他们面对困难表现出坚强的毅力。 see also persevere ⇨ persist NOTE 辨析 Persistence or perseverance?People show perseverance in the face of difficult circumstances, usually created by situations outside anyone's control, such as illness, bad economic conditions, or just bad luck. Persistence is necessary when other people create difficulties, either by refusing to help or by actively trying to stop you. * perseverance指面对困难不屈不挠，尤其是面对人力无法控制的境况，如疾病、经济不景气或运气不佳等。persistence则指面对他人造成的困难，如他人拒绝帮助或竭力阻止的情况下仍然坚持不懈。 |
