關於Continuation的意思和用法的提問

A: “Merely” is a fancy way of saying “just”.

“Continuation” means a progression or progress.

It means that whatever is being talked about is “just a progression of life” or “the next step in order for life to progress”.

A: Thank you so much. Your English is so good, haha:)

A:
Continuation is the action of carrying something on over time.
e.g. “this medical treatment allows the continuation of life for the patients”

Continuity describes lack of interruption.
e.g. “It is recommended the patients are seen by the same doctor every day, to allow for continuity of care.”

In the example above, life is not something that can be ‘interrupted’ - therefore it is more natural to use continuation, rather than continuity.

A: @Bui_Nhat_Quang continuation means “next part”

“Book 2 is a continuation of the story from book 1”

Continuity describes a consistent or continuous existence.

—— is continuous / has continuity
— — is not continuous / does not have continuity

“When you film a movie, there is someone in charge of continuity. They make sure the scene appears continuous even if some parts are filmed on different days.”

“The story is confusing because it does not have continuity. Nothing is in order!”

“We measured 5 volts on this end of the wire but the other end shows 0 volts. The continuity of the wire must be broken.”

Sorry I couldn’t think of simple examples for continuity.

A: Continuation is an act of continuing, for example in a movie said to be continued and after a week there is a new release of the movie or the continuation of the movie, while the continuity is the lack of interruption or continuous😊

A: thank you so much!

A: I am curious to find out how this story continues.

A: I'm sorry, just one more thing! Instead of using (to not), you can turn it around and say (not to).
And instead of using (the) for (out of the day), you could use (my) for (out of my day).

(I try to take 5 minutes out of my day not to compare myself with others.)

On the internet, you'll find mountains of information that will fascinate you. Life and all of the information on the internet can make my heart grow weary. I try to take 5 minutes out of my day not to compare myself with others. As you do so, I can't help but believe that you will find yourself in the same place, but with a different perspective.

I hope I didn't confuse you too much?! lol

A: Hello again! Yes that is correct. You can make it clear that you were engaging with “people at work” and not just “work.” Here are some examples

But when I found success by getting involved with people at work, I realized…
But when I found success by engaging with people at work, I realized…
But when I found success by getting involved and engaging with people with work, I realized

You might also try using “shy” in the first sentence.

When I was a student, I was a little shy.
But when I was able to interact with people at work, I realized that I just didn’t make an effort before.

Looking at your first sentence, you used the word “attractive.” You could use that too!

When I was a student, I wasn’t attracted to being with other students. < this does not have a romantic meaning, it’s just “I didn’t want to be with them”
When I was a student, I wasn’t attracted to the other students. < this has a romantic meaning 😆

I’m happy to help, please let me know if I can explain anything else.

A: "A man and a woman fell in love with each other.
So she wrote her phone number on her book and gave it to him.
He really loved her and he wanted to phone her, but unfortunately he had his coat with the book stolen.
A few days later, she went to a restaurant and a waiter came over and asked her if she would >>mind sharing<< her table with someone else.
She told him that she wouldn't and a man came to >>her<< table and said, "excuse me, the waiter said you wouldn't mind sharing."
She looked up, and there >>was<< the man she loved again.
They both were astonished to see each others' faces."


"After a moment, he managed to open his mouth, saying, "can I write my telephone number on your book this time? Then, my coat with your book won't be stolen again."

A: By itself it sounds a little unnatural. What context are you using the phrase in?

“This is a continuation of last time.”

Sounds more natural by itself.
