持续的用英语怎么说

持续的用英语可以翻译为"sustained"或"continuous." 这两个词都有"持续不断"的意思，但是它们在用法上略有区别。

"Sustained" 指的是某种状态，活动，或者过程持续一段时间，而且没有明显的间断。例如：

The company has sustained steady growth for the past five years.
She sustained a leg injury in the accident.
The government is committed to sustained investment in education.

"Continuous" 指的是某种状态，活动，或者过程在时间上不间断，而且没有明显的终止。例如：

The band played continuous music for two hours.
The river flows continuously from the mountains to the sea.
The company has been offering continuous support to its employees.

这两个词都来自拉丁语，"sustained" 来自拉丁语的 "sustinere"，意为"支撑，维持"；而 "continuous" 来自拉丁语的 "continuus"，意为"连续不断的"。
