The Legacy of Perseverance 坚持的意义 Greatness is not born from talent alone, but from quiet, unyielding perseverance. Every achievement worth celebrating is built on countless unseen hours: failures, doubts, late nights, and small, steady steps forward. The world only sees the triumph, but the journey is shaped by resilience. Perseverance is not the absence of exhaustion—it is continuing despite it. It is choosing to try again after a fall, to learn from mistakes instead of surrendering to them, to trust the process even when results are invisible. It is the courage to keep going when no one is watching. Life’s most valuable lessons come not from ease, but from struggle. Perseverance forges character, turns obstacles into stepping stones, and turns ordinary people into legends. It teaches us that success is not about speed, but about persistence. To keep going, even when it is hard, is the ultimate legacy of a life well-lived. 重难点词汇 & 短语 unyielding /ʌnˈjiːldɪŋ/adj. 坚定的；不屈服的 perseverance /ˌpɜːrsəˈvɪrəns/n. 毅力；坚持不懈 countless /ˈkaʊtləs/adj. 无数的；数不尽的 triumph /ˈtraɪʌmf/n. 胜利；成就 v. 获胜 exhaustion /ɪɡˈzɔːstʃən/n. 疲惫；筋疲力尽 surrender to /səˈrendər/ 屈服于；向…… 投降 obstacle /ˈɑːbstəkl/n. 障碍；阻碍 stepping stone 垫脚石；跳板 persistence /pərˈsɪstəns/n. 坚持；执着 legacy /ˈleɡəsi/n. 遗产；精神传承；功绩 易混辨析（专八词汇考点） perseverance：面对困难长期坚持（侧重意志） persistence：执着、锲而不舍（侧重行为） #每日英语 #英文学习 #英语朗读 #英语发音 #一起练口语 #英语美文
