长释义：
A strong grip or an unyielding advocate might both be described as tenacious, a word whose synonyms include resolute, firm, and persistent. The word comes from the Latin root tenax, which means "holding fast." The basketball commentator Marv Albert, impressed by a defender’s skill, once uttered the sound bite, "That’s some tenacious D!" ("D" is short for "defense.") The musicians Jack Black and Kyle Gass borrowed the phrase for the name of their comedy-rock band, Tenacious D.
强有力的控制或不屈不挠的拥护者都可能被描述为顽强，这个词的同义词包括坚决、坚定和坚持。这个词来自拉丁词根tenax，意思是“坚持”。篮球评论员Marv Albert被一名防守球员的身手所折服，他曾经说过一句话：“那是顽强的D！” （“D”是“防御”的缩写。）音乐家 Jack Black 和 Kyle Gass 借用了这个短语作为他们的喜剧摇滚乐队 Tenacious D.
