補充說明: continuous / continued / continuing
continuous 指「中間沒有斷開」,continuous rain 為「不停的雨」,a continuous 3 km stretch of golden sand 為「綿延三公里、沒有間斷的金色沙灘」。continued 與 continuing 由動詞 continue 變來,用在名詞前面時著重「事情持續進行、還沒結束」,不特別強調中間有沒有斷開,continued support 為「持續的支持」,continuing education 為「繼續教育」。continued 另有動詞用法,是 continue 的過去式與過去分詞,後面可接 to 加原形動詞,continued to celebrate New Year's Day 為「繼續慶祝新年」。判斷方式為:「中間不間斷」用 continuous,「事情延續下去」用 continued 或 continuing。
