▲sensitive可引申为"善解人意的"。如:He is very sensitive to his pupils' need for encouragement and knows when to praise them.他非常理解学生对鼓励的需要,并知道何时表扬他们。

(1) keep可用于复合结构,其宾语补足语可以是介词短语、现在分词、过去分词、形容词、副词等。如:① I'll keep the box in the shade. 我将把盒子保存在阴影处。 ② The bad cold kept him in bed for three days. 他得了重感冒,只得卧床三天。③I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. 对不起,让你久等了。④ It's cold inside.Let's keep the fire burning. 屋里很冷,咱们让炉子烧下去吧。⑤ Don't keep the door closed all day long. 不要整天把门关着。⑥ She keeps the windows covered with curtains. 她总是把窗帘拉着。⑦Sports and games help to keep people healthy. 体育活动有助于健康。⑧ It's blowing hard.and I can hardly keep my eyes open.风刮得很大,我简直睁不开眼。⑨ We should keep the children away from the dangerous animals. 我们不能让孩子们靠近那些危险的动物。⑩ There's a lot of air in loose snow, and this helps to keep the cold out. 松散的积雪里有大量空气,这有利于御寒。
(2) keep表示"保存""保管"。如:① How long can I keep this book? 这本书我可以借多久?(不能用borrow) ②Will you keep these boxes for me while I'm away? 我不在时,请你替我保管这几个箱子,行吗? ③This building is about 100 years old, but it has been well kept. 这幢建筑有一百年左右的历史了,迄今还保存完好。
(3) keep用作连系动词,后面接形容词作表语。① I hope you're keeping well. 我希望你身体健康。② Keep cool and listen to me. 冷静点,听我说。
(4) keep表示"养活""饲养"。如:① Mr Ford has a big family to keep (= support). Ford先生要养活一大家人。② His job is to keep pigs on a farm. 他的工作是在一个农场上养猪。
注意:raise表示"从小养到大",因此我们可以说:① She was raised (=brought up) by her grandmother. (她是由她祖母带大的。) ② He has three children to raise/keep/support. (他要抚养三个孩子。) 在下面句子中不能用raise: He has a wife and two children to keep/support. (他要养活妻子和两个孩子。) 因为这里raise不适用于wife。
(5) keep on doing sth. 表示"继续做某事""坚持不懈地,不间断地做某事""反复地做某事"。Go on doing sth. 有时也可表示这些意思。例如:①The farmers kept on working in the fields when it began to rain.下雨的时候,农民们还不停地在地里劳动。②Don't give up,keep on trying. 不要半途而废,要坚持努力。③ Don't keep (on) doing such silly things.不要老是做这样的傻事。
▲ 注意:重复性较强的时候,多用keep doing (sth.)。 She kept coughing all night. 她整夜咳嗽。
▲ 注意:keep后面接行为动词,不能接sitting,standing,lying,sleeping等表示静态的动词。如:不能说He kept on sitting. 这时应用keep。如:可以说keep lying/standing/sitting there;
▲ keep和keep on后均不可接意识性动词如knowing,realizing,understanding等。
