desist的用法详解
英语单词desist的用法讲解
英语单词desist生动形象地描绘出人们常常想表达的情绪——停止某种行为或活动的意思。它可以指望某人停止某种行为或活动，也可以指停止做某事，并把它一直做下去。
desist可以作为及物动词，后面可以接 from 或 doing sth，也可以作为不及物动词，不用宾语。例如：
1、The police asked the crowd to desist from throwing stones.（警察要求人群停止投掷石块。）
2、The children desisted from quarrelling.（孩子们停止争吵。）
3、The protesters desisted from protesting.（抗议者停止抗议。）
4、House prices are soaring — it's time for the government to desist.（房价在节节攀升，是时候政府应该收敛。）
desist还是一个礼貌的词，比stop、cease等更客气，可以用来表达不满，但又不粗鲁地表达出来。最后，当你打算请求某人改变其行为时，不要忘记用 desist这个词。
