【今日主題】

From the above translation answers, we can see a phrase which is : insist on or insist upon. It means " to demand something and refuse to be persuaded to accept anything else ". Because "on" or "upon" is a preposition, a gerund or a gerund phrase can follow it. So , we have another phrase : insist on doing or insist upon doing. However, it differs from "insist on ( upon )". It means " to continue doing something even if other people think it's annoying".

【精彩點撥】

All right, let's look at a sentence: He insist that he should be innocent. What do you say it is true or false? It is false. In this sentence, "insist" means "to say or think firmly that something is true, especially when other people don't believe you". 在這句話中，insist 意為：堅持說，堅持認為，固執(zhí)己見。作為這個意思來講，其后面跟的賓語從句不能用虛擬語氣。只有當insist作為“堅持要求”這個意思來講，其后面跟的賓語從句才可以使用虛擬語氣。How do we correct the above false sentence? It is : He insist he is innocent.

Just now we talked about "insist on" or "insist upon". 如果句子表達的意思是堅持認為的話，就不可以用這個短語。He insist upon his innocence. 他堅持說他他是無辜的。這句話是錯誤的。我們可以看insist on(upon)的英文解釋：It means " to demand something and refuse to be persuaded to accept anything else "。但是這句話可以這樣說：He insist upon saying that he is innocent. It means he continues saying he is innocent. 他不斷地說他是無辜的。也就是說他堅持說他是無辜的。
