assured vs promised
「assured」側重於提供信心或消除疑慮,使對方安心;「promised」則明確表示做出承諾,通常涉及未來某項行動或結果。
assured vs convinced
「assured」是向他人提供保證,使其確信;「convinced」則是說服他人,使其相信某事為真。

動詞 "assure" 的用法是 "assure + 人 + (that) 子句" 或 "assure + 人 + of + 名詞",後面不直接接 "to"。
×I am assured that everything is fine.
✓I assure you that everything is fine.
"assure" 通常是主動向他人保證,主詞是做出保證的人。"I am assured" 是被動語態,意思是「我被(他人)保證」,語意上較不常見。想表達自己向對方保證時,應使用主動語態。
×She assured his safety.
✓She assured him of his safety. / She assured him that he was safe.
"assure" 的受詞必須是「人」,不能直接接「事物」(如 safety, success)。若要表達保證某事,需使用 "assure + 人 + of + 事物" 或 "assure + 人 + (that) 子句" 的結構。
×I ensured him that the door was locked.
✓I assured him that the door was locked.
"assure" 和 "ensure" 容易混淆。"Assure" 是向「人」口頭保證以消除其疑慮。"Ensure" 是採取行動以「確保」某事發生或某種結果,後面通常接事物或 that 子句,但不以人為直接受詞。
×He is very assured of his abilities.
✓He is very confident of his abilities.
"Assured" 作形容詞時,意思是「自信的、沉穩的」,描述人的氣質或狀態。但表達「對...有信心」這個概念時,更常用 "confident of/about"。"Assured of" 較常用在被動語態中,表示「被保證會得到...」,例如:"He is assured of a promotion."(他確定會獲得升遷)。
