Chinese to English Art/Literary Linguistics 语言
很多次了,当继承作为名词出现在一句话里的时候,总是不确认怎么翻译好.

请高手帮忙翻译一下这句话: 一切的继承都需要执着的力量

Every single heritage need rigid strength( or force?)

Inheritance implies family. Succession implies rights (e.g. imperial). Could you give us a bit more context?

inheritance - succession

"The whole inheritance needs a persisiting (or "continuing)" force".
But it depends on the context. Is it a family inheritance? The succession of a business empire?
