英 ['?bst?n?t]
美 ['ɑbst?n?t]
助記提示
1. ob- "against" + stin- "stand" + -ate.
2. => stand against.
3. => persist, stand stubbornly.
4. 或者：ob- "completely" + stin- "stand" + -ate. 這里取 stand 的引申義：固定下來，不動搖。有句話叫“站如松，坐如鐘”就是這個道理。整個詞的含義就表示“完全不動搖”。
5. 我(o <- wo)不(b)是(s)聽(tin)你(ni -> na)的(de -> te) => 固執(zhí)的.
6. 俺不是聽你的。
7. 哦，不是聽你的。
8. 諧音"偶不是聽你的".助記法:?現(xiàn)在的小孩子都很(固執(zhí),倔強).嘴邊常掛著偶不是聽你的.
