retain, keep, preserve, reserve

這組詞都有“保存”“保留”或“保持”的意思。其區別在于:

1.keep指把某一事物置于自己的權力或管理之下; retain和reserve同義,均指繼續“保持”或“保存”某事物, retain是較為正式的用語,還可指記住某事; preserve指把某物“收藏”或“保存”好。

2.retain含有不失去的意味; reserve則強調繼續保持而不致失去; preserve強調防止破壞作用,要采取措施使某物完好無損或質量不變。例如:

His business has been taken over by a big corporation, but he still retains some control over it.他的商店被一家大公司接管了,但他仍保留部分控制權。

You'd better reserve your strength for tomorrow's climb.你最好留點力氣明天爬山。

Salt preserves food from decay.鹽能防止食物腐爛。

☆ 14世紀晚期進入英語，直接源自古法語的retinere：re (向后） + tenere (握），意為阻止，保留。
