continue可以是延续性非终结性动词，也可以是非延续性终结动词。例如《牛津》以下不同释义：

// to keep existing or happening without stopping

// to start or start something again after stopping for a time

The Chinese people have continued their advance full speed ahead on the road of socialist construction.

该句用现在完成时，为非延续性终结动词用法。意思是中国人民在停顿了一段时间（可能是文革的影响）又开始在社会主义建设的道路上全速前进。

如果改用现在完成进行时：

The Chinese people have been continuing their advance full speed ahead on the road of socialist construction.

则为延续性非终结动词用法。意思是（迄今为止）中国人民一直在社会主义建设的道路上全速前进。

如果改为现在进行时：

The Chinese people are continuing their advance full speed ahead on the road of socialist construction.

仍为延续性非终结性动词用法。意思是中国人民在社会主义建设的道路上继续全速前进。
