v.(动词)resist的基本意思是“反抗,抵抗”,指拒绝接受,并设法阻止其发生,也指与其战斗以防被击败,往往强调以武力为手段,引申还可以作“未受损害,耐得住”解。
resist还可表示从主观意识出发的意志“不屈服,忍住”,这时,后面常跟动名词,并多用于否定句中,意思是“不禁,忍不住”。
resist主要用作及物动词,偶尔用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词、代词或动名词作宾语。
resist常与否定词连用,后面可以接动名词,但不能接动词不定式。试比较: 我忍不住告诉了他这个秘密。误:I couldn't resist to tell him the secret.正:I couldn't resist telling him the secret.
