基本含义
convince 是一个及物动词，意为“使相信；说服”。常用于表达通过理由、证据或情感让某人相信某事或做某事。
常见结构
- convince somebody to do something
说服某人做某事
例句：She convinced me to apply for the job. - convince somebody that...
使某人相信……
例句：He convinced us that the plan would work. - be convinced of something
相信某事（强调状态）
例句：I am convinced of his honesty. - be convinced that...
相信……
例句：They are convinced that they made the right choice.
注意事项
- “Convince” 后面不能直接接 “of doing something”，这是常见错误。
- 不要与 “persuade” 完全混用——“persuade” 更侧重结果（成功说服），而 “convince” 更侧重心理上的相信。
- 被动语态中常用 “be convinced” 表示“被说服/相信”。
实用例句

- I tried to convince him that it was a bad idea.
- Are you convinced of the truth of his statement?
