課本中不會(huì)教你的[S]635　stay和remain

635　stay和remain

① stay表示“停留，逗留”，常指以客人或參觀者身份在某地短暫停留。

We remained in a very good hotel.

We stayed in a very good hotel.

我們下榻在一家很好的旅館。

② remain表示“剩下，留下”，尤指維持或不改變狀態(tài)，或即使別人離去，自己仍留下。

A few apples have stayed on the tree. （差）

A few apples have remained on the tree. （優(yōu)）樹(shù)上還剩下幾只蘋(píng)果。

提示

表示持續(xù)待在同一地點(diǎn)（尤指家里）時(shí)，stay與remain可換用。

I shall stay/remain at home till tomorrow. 我將在家里待到明天為止。

③ stay的常用結(jié)構(gòu)為：

stay+副詞或介詞短語(yǔ)

stay for sth.

stay up till/until+名詞或從句

He stayed late in the school last night. 他昨晚在學(xué)校里呆到很晚。

Please stay for supper. 請(qǐng)留下來(lái)吃晚飯。

He stayed up until twelve o'clock. 他一直等到12點(diǎn)鐘。

④ 作連系動(dòng)詞用時(shí)，stay意為“保持（某種狀態(tài)）”，相當(dāng)于連系動(dòng)詞keep，后跟形容詞作表語(yǔ)。

The shop will stay open till nine o'clock. 這家商店9點(diǎn)鐘之前都營(yíng)業(yè)。
