Going on and on without ever stopping. It describes something continuous over a long stretch of time — unceasing rain, unceasing noise from the construction site, unceasing effort, her unceasing support for her students.

Going on and on一直持續下去， without ever stopping從來不停。 It describes它形容的是 something continuous over a long stretch of time在很長一段時間裡持續不斷的東西—— unceasing rain下不停的雨、 unceasing noise from the construction site工地傳來不斷的噪音、 unceasing effort不懈的努力、 her unceasing support for her students她對學生持續不斷的支持。

It sits before a noun almost always; you would not normally say "the rain was unceasing" in speech, though a novelist might. This is a formal, written word.

It sits before a noun almost always它幾乎總是放在名詞前面； you would not normally say你在口語裡通常不會說 "the rain was unceasing" in speech「雨是unceasing的」， though a novelist might不過小說家可能會這樣寫。 This is這是 a formal, written word個正式的書面用字。

In conversation people say non-stop, constant, or endless. Save unceasing for writing where you want a slow, weighty sound.

In conversation在對話裡， people say人們會說 non-stop「non-stop」、 constant「constant」、 or endless或「endless」。 Save unceasing把unceasing留著 for writing用在寫作裡， where you want a slow, weighty sound你想營造緩慢、厚重語氣的時候。

The tone is worth noticing because it goes both ways. With unpleasant things — noise, rain, complaints, pain — it means wearing, too much, please stop. With good things — effort, kindness, devotion, support — it becomes praise, and it carries a faint echo of religious and old literary English, where unceasing prayer is a set phrase.

The tone is worth noticing語氣值得注意， because因為 it goes both ways它可以往兩個方向走。 With unpleasant things用在討厭的事物上—— noise, rain, complaints, pain噪音、雨、抱怨、疼痛—— it means wearing, too much, please stop意思是讓人受不了、太多了、拜託停下來。 With good things用在好的事物上—— effort, kindness, devotion, support努力、善意、奉獻、支持—— it becomes praise它就變成了讚美， and it carries a faint echo of religious and old literary English而且帶有一點宗教和古老文學英語的味道， where unceasing prayer is a set phrase在那裡「不停的禱告」是個固定用語。

So the word itself is neutral; the noun beside it decides the feeling. Compare it with ceaseless, which means the same thing and is more common in modern writing, and with incessant, which is nearly always negative and usually describes sound or talk.

So所以 the word itself is neutral這個字本身是中性的； the noun beside it decides the feeling旁邊搭配的名詞才決定了它的語感。 Compare it with ceaseless拿它跟ceaseless比較， which means the same thing意思一樣， and is more common in modern writing在現代寫作裡更常見； and with incessant再跟incessant比較， which is nearly always negative這個字幾乎總是負面的， and usually describes sound or talk通常用來形容聲音或說話。
