    I keep practicing my English in order to pass my test. (为了通过测试,我不断地练习我的英语。)

  • 也可用作祈使句,表示"继续……下去":

    Keep taking the pills every day before you get well. (在你康复之前,继续每天服用药片。)

💡 辨析

  • keep doing sth. —— 强调动作本身一直持续 / 反复
  • keep on doing sth. —— 含义接近,但更强调"坚持下去、不间断"
  • keep sb./sth. doing sth. —— 让某人/某物一直处于某种状态:Sorry to keep you waiting. (抱歉让你久等了。)
