v.动词
reserve, bookbook和reserve都表示“预订车〔船票,戏院〕等”,有时两者可通用,但列车上的“老弱病残者”座位不能用book,而只能用reserve。例如:
Some seats on train are reserved for the old and handicapped.列车上有些座位是留给老人和残疾人的。reserve, keep, preserve, retain这组词都有“保存”“保留”或“保持”的意思。其区别在于:
1.keep指把某一事物置于自己的权力或管理之下; retain和reserve同义,均指继续“保持”或“保存”某事物, retain是较为正式的用语,还可指记住某事; preserve指把某物“收藏”或“保存”好。
2.retain含有不失去的意味; reserve则强调继续保持而不致失去; preserve强调防止破坏作用,要采取措施使某物完好无损或质量不变。例如:
His business has been taken over by a big corporation, but he still retains some control over it.他的商店被一家大公司接管了,但他仍保留部分控制权。

retain指继续保持。
