關於Tenacity的意思和用法的提問

A: A cheerleader is typically a very beautiful and popular girl who likes going out on dates, and the prom is the biggest event of the last year in high school. So if a cheerleader does not have a date to take her to the prom a week before it happens, then she will be very desperate to find one. She will try very hard to find a date, and that is what the word tenacity means, to keep trying with determination and focus until a goal is achieved.

So if you want to achieve your dreams, then you need to be as focused and determined as the girl who is trying desperately to find a date before the biggest (and last) event of high school.

A: the quality of determination

A: This definition is probably better than what I'd say in my own words.

"the determination to continue what you are doing
坚持，顽固；固执"

A: @jay1101

Tenacity is the determination or persistence to see something through without giving up, or to grasp onto something firmly.

"I was inspired by my brother's courage and tenacity in fighting the oppressors."

"Medical school isn't easy. You have to have the desire and the tenacity to stick it out."

"He searched for his parents' killer with staggering tenacity."

"The mayor's tenacity frustrated her opponents."

A: @Hyees
Mary’s tenacity allowed her to excel in her college classes while also raising two children.

Achieving challenging goals can require a great deal of tenacity.

Mike showed great tenacity during the marathon.

A: She has the tenacity to stick with the project to the very end.

A: Tenacity is like a adjective, it means like hard,rough in a stretchy way?

Perseverance is to not give up and keep going through challenging situations

A:

Like many English words, these had different meanings 500 and more years ago, when a small literary class within society understood their Latin roots.

As they became popularized, the distinction faded - and now they all mean basically the same thing.

But originally

1. from Tenax - to hold on
2. from Per Severus - by law, or to uphold the law
3. from Per Sistere - to remain standing

Speakers now will choose from these words according to the sonic effect it has. In this lies English's weird approach to Tonal meanings

A: They are synonymous so they essentially mean the same.

A: You have "tenacity."

You can only use "a" with things that can be counted. For example:

I have a bicycle.
I have a peach.

If something can't be counted, you don't use "a":

I have courage.
I have hope.
I have water in my ear.

A: The tenacity of the Roman Empire and its old glories can be compared to the resilience of the organisms called lichens. Maybe you are going to ask me: What? Why?

Lichens thrive in regions as diverse as jungles to rocky sea coasts. They are very hardy organisms and do not give in to the harsh sand storms of the desert or the the icy cold conditions of a glacier. Lichens are also brave: they do not fear the dark of the caves and they even set up home in the mouth of volcanoes.

Cladonia Diversa, a cup-shaped lichen.

Lichens take various forms. The green wolf lichen (Letharia Vulpina) has a brunched shrubby shape that reminds me of a hipsters beard 😃

The trumpet-shaped Cladonia Carneola lichen looks like it is ready to start playing a jazz song.

For all their features, lichens are also an inspiration for artists: the decorative plate PRODUCT NAME reproduces on raku ceramic the organic structures of the lichens. The poetic reference to nature makes this decorative home accessory a daily artwork to follow and care for, allowing the user to express their individual personality through the language of nature.

And what about the Cladonia Deformis lichen? Its features resemble precious silver tea cups.

The only thing Lichens are afraid of is the presence of the human beings, so the cities are the only barriers that can stop them thriving. However, even here their stubborness is allowing them able to take root.

Cladonia Digitata, finger cup lichen.

When I seek perseverance or stamina in my daily life, I only have to look at the nature to find it.

The most elusive creatures in nature, those of the deepest shadows, living silent existences can also be the most resilient.


the decorative plate PRODUCT NAME reproduces on raku ceramic the organic structures of the lichens (I don't understand this sentence, it is not clear, what is Raku?)

Organic structures can reproduce on this decorative plate made of ceramic. (Maybe write like this)

A: I have the tenacity to not give up despite the difficulties.

Great job!
(:

A: I've never heard the word "tenacity," so I had to look it up to see what it meant. Use a synonym like "determination" or "perseverance," because more people know these words.

Here's how I'd word the rest to make it sound natural:
"Because of his perseverance, he was able to win the mounting biking World Cup. His final ride was so fast, the spectators gaped in awe."

You may want to replace "his final ride" with "his final run," unless you know that the word "ride" is used in mountain biking competitions. If it is done in rounds, "the last round" would sound best to me.
