consecutive vs continuous

Come back each consecutive day to increase your chances.

上面這段句子中唯一不知道意思的單字就是consecutive，後來查了一下單字中文意思為"連續不斷的"，我心中即想到這應該是continuous的同義字吧？拉下一看結果不是，同義字中有successive, sequential, serial等，這就讓我挺好奇的，轉而查詢continuous這個單字，發現她的中文意思為"連續的，不斷的"，其同意字有continual, uninterrupted, unbroken, constant, permanent, perpetual, unremitting, ceaseless, ceasing, incessant等，看來只好比較兩者的英義如下：

Consecutive

following one after another in a series, without interruption

上述為物體上之連續，即一系列的東西連續不斷的

Continuous

happening or existing for a period of time without interruption

上述為時間性的連續，即一段連續時間不間斷地
