【词源解说】

14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的remain；最初源自拉丁语的remanere：

re(回)+manere(放，置），意为保留。【词形变化】动词过去式: remained 动词过去分词: remained

动词现在分词: remaining 动词第三人称单数: remains

【词义辨析】

remain, linger, stay

这些动词均有“停留，逗留”之意。

remain: 指某人或某物仍留在原处或保持原来的状态。

linger: 着重因愉快的事而使人不愿离开。

stay: 普通用词，多指人在某地暂时逗留。有时可指较长时间的居留。

【语法用法】

1.remain解释为“保持”，“依然”时，后常接表语。

He remained faithful to his wife all his life.

For a long time he remained a bachelor.

2.将I remain用在书信来往中，在客套话之前时，应注意：不可用于第一次写信中，最好用Ｉam。remain后面的yours是表语，虽中间无须加逗号，但人们仍习惯用。I remain的用法如今已经不普遍使用了。在商业信函中，表示客套一般用I (We) beg to remain。

1.保持不变：继续保持同一种状态或情况：

vi.逗留/停留：remain (+ 介宾/副词)

These matters remain in doubt. 这些事情仍然值得怀疑

Only a few students remained in the classroom just now.

2.To continue to be in the same place; stay or stay behind: 留下：逗留在同一地方；停留或者留下：We are remaining at home. 我们留在家里

3.To be left after the removal, loss, passage, or destruction of others:

余留：在其他事物移走，丢失，走开或毁坏之后仍留下来：

vi.剩下/残存：remain (+ 介宾/副词)如：Nothing remained on the road after a strong wind.

Only a few trees remain.See Synonyms at stay 1 只留下了一些树参见stay1

4.To be left as still to be dealt with: 尚待：剩余的仍需要处理的：

A cure remains to be found. 尚待发现的疗法

5.To endure or persist. 持久或坚持

6.留下；遗留

I went to the city, but my brother remained at home. 我去了城市，可弟弟留在了家里。vi.留待/尚待：此时它有两个固定句型如下：

固定句型一：sth/sb remain to be + 过去分词

固定句型二：It remain to be seen + whether引导的主语从句

如：The problem remained to be solved.

It remains to be seen whether he'll come or not tomorrow.

7.继续

Peter became a judge but John remained a fisherman.

彼得当了法官，但约翰仍然是个渔民。

He's determined to remain loyal to the team whatever comes his way.

他决心不管发生什么事都忠于球队。

The death of the innkeeper still remains a mystery. 客栈老板之死仍然是个谜。

sth. remain to be done意思是“...有待被做”

习惯用语：it remains to be seen 还要看情况发展

sb./sth. remain+ n./adj.意思是“...依然...”

sb. remain doing sth.意思是“...依然在做...”

vi.依旧/仍然: remain + 形容词/名词如：The secret remains unknown now.

remaining除了是remain的现在分词/动名词形式外，还可以单独做形容词，意思是“剩下的”。如：You should finish your remaining homework.

remain作为“尚待/留待”

只能说“sth remain to be + 过去分词”，不能说“sth remain to do”。

所以是remain to be solved，而不是remain to solve.

keep on doing是一直做某事的意思

keep sb doing是让某人一直做某事的意思

keep sb from doing是不让某人做某事的意思
