词态变化


第三人称单数: detains;过去式: detained;过去分词: detained;现在分词: detaining;

助记提示


1. de- "down" + -tain.
2. => hold sb/sth down, keep sb/sth down.
3.也就是咱们常说的:留住,留下来;因此这里使用表示“down”的词根也就再正常不过了。
4. 咱们常说把某人留下来,也就是将其留住嘛!
5. 或者:de- "off, away" + -tain.
6. => hold off, keep off, keep away, keep back(留在原地).
7. 似乎后一种解释更合理一些。

中文词源
