同近义词辨析

stick, glue, cohere, cling, adhere

这组词都有“粘着、附着”的意思，其区别是：

stick常指用胶水或浆糊粘贴，词义引申指坚持。

glue与stick的本义相同，指用胶水把东西粘合在一起，没有“坚持”的含义。

cohere指物质微粒粘合在一起，成为不可分离的整体，强调所形成新物体的不可分割性。可引申指逻辑上的前后一致。

cling着重靠缠绕、紧抱、紧抓等方式而形成密切关系。也可作引申用。

adhere正式用词，语气较严肃刻板，既可指物体粘在一起，也可指坚持信仰或忠于事业等。

persevere, insist, persist, cling, adhere

这组词都有“坚持”的意思，其区别是：

persevere含褒义，强调坚持不懈的努力。

insist通常用于对意见、主张等的坚持。

persist用于褒义指坚持继续做某事，但更常用于贬义，指不听劝告，顽固坚持。

cling和to连用，指对信仰、意见、习惯等的坚持。

adhere与to连用，指坚持意见、计划或承诺等，含坚持不懈之意。
