  Stick at it.
  对话
  Niall: Don't you find these rowing machines hard work?
  Harry: I certainly do, but they're supposed to be.
  Niall: How often do you come to the gym for a workout?
  Harry: Three times a week at least if I can manage it.
  Niall: No wonder you look so fit and trim.
  Harry: Thanks. Stick at it and you can be the same.
  尼尔:你不觉得这些划船健身器很吃力吗?
  哈里:我当然觉得吃力,但那正是这类器械的作用。
  尼尔:你多久来一次健身房锻炼身体?
  哈里:假如可能的话,我一星期最少来三次。
  尼尔:怪不得你看来这么健美。
  哈里:谢谢夸奖。只要你持之以恒,也可以像我一样。
  尼尔称赞哈里说:You look so fit and trim。Trim作动词,指‘修剪’,例如She trimmed her nails即‘她修剪指甲’。作形容词,trim可指身材健美,例如:He exercised hard to keep trim(他努力做运动,保持健美)。
  哈里告诉尼尔:Stick at it and you can be the same。Stick作动词,可以指‘黏住’,例如He stuck a stamp on the envelope(他贴了一枚邮票在信封上)。引申其义,stick at/to something即‘持之以恒’,例如:(1) He stuck at/to it till he succeeded(他锲而不舍,直到成功)。(2) Whatever happens, stick at/to your job and don't let your attention wander(无论发生什么事,继续做你的工作,不要分心)。留意stick at一词,用于否定句,有‘不择手段’、‘不因……而罢手’的意思,常见于stick at nothing这词组(phrase),例如:He won't stick at lying/violence/murder to achieve his purpose(他为达目的,会不惜说谎/使用暴力/密谋杀人)。要说某人做什么事都没有恒心,可以说He sticks to nothing,不可说He sticks at nothing。Stick at it and....的and字,是用来表示结果,有‘只要……就’的意思。这是and的一个常见用法,例如:(1) Move, and you are dead(你一动,就没命)。(2) One false step, and all that we have done will go down the drain(稍有差池,我们一切工作就会付诸流水)。
