- 絶えずたえずadverbFor 'continually' in the sense of 'constantly, without ever stopping': it stresses that something never ceases, fitting states or activities that go on and on with no pause.
- 繰り返しくりかえしadverbFor 'continually' meaning 'again and again': the emphasis falls on repeated occurrences rather than one unbroken stretch, so it suits actions that happen over and over.
