Keep smiling.保持微笑。

Whatever happens, keep on trying.不管发生什么事情都要继续试下去。

keep, maintain, preserve

这三个词都含有“保持”的意思。keep最为常用,表示“保持”某一状态或“保持”某物完好无损,例如:

This coat will keep you warm.这件衣服可以让你保暖。

maintain较正式,侧重表示小心使用及经常加以维护或补充而使之“保持”正常状态。可与keep互换,例如:

The two countries have maintained(或kept) friendly relations for years.多年来两国一直保持着友好的关系。preserve侧重表示使某物“保持”原样,不受外界变化的影响。常指某物相当珍贵因而需要加以精心保护,例如:
