开始，人们用“一鼓作气”来比喻第一次鼓声促发的战斗力量是最强大的。后来，这句成语被用来比喻将一件事坚持做完，中间没有中断。

Originally, the idiom means "the fighting strength in the first drums is the highest." Later, it has been used to say "to press on to the finish without letup".

通过比喻的语言，人们能借助另一事物的性质来理解一件事，因此也交叉强化了人们的印象（Alexander， 1969）。

Through metaphoric language, we can understand one-thing in terms of another's properties, and so cross-fertilize our impressions (Alexander, 1969).
