表達「說服某人做某事」時,應使用 "convince someone to do something" 的結構,避免使用 "convince doing"。
convinced vs believe
"convinced" 強調經過說服或證據而達成的堅定信念狀態;"believe" 則是一般性的相信或認為,不一定需要外部說服。
convinced vs persuade
"convinced" 是說服的結果(感到確信);"persuade" 是說服的動作(試圖讓他人同意)。
convinced vs assure
"convinced" 著重於使他人內心產生確信;"assure" 著重於向他人做出保證以消除疑慮。
在對話中,常用來引述自己或他人被說服的過程或結果。 EN: I wasn't sure at first, but he convinced me to give it a try. 翻譯: 我一開始不確定,但他說服了我試試看。
EN:She convinced herself that everything would work out.
翻譯:她說服自己一切都會好起來的。
常與「really」、「totally」、「completely」等副詞連用,強調說服的徹底性。 EN: I am completely convinced that this is the right decision. 翻譯: 我完全被說服了,相信這是正確的決定。
EN:Are you really convinced, or are you just saying that?
翻譯:你是真的被說服了,還是只是說說而已?
在思考或組織語言時,會用「I'm convinced that...」作為開頭,引出後續觀點。 EN: I'm convinced that... we need to approach this differently. 翻譯: 我確信……我們需要用不同的方式處理這件事。
EN:Well, I'm convinced that... the main issue is communication.
翻譯:嗯,我確信……主要的問題在於溝通。
正式寫作注意:在正式書寫中(如學術論文、商業報告),應避免使用「I'm convinced that...」這類帶有強烈個人主觀色彩的開場白。建議改用更客觀的表述,例如「The evidence suggests that...」或「It is clear that...」。

×I am convincing that he is right.
✓I am convinced that he is right.
使用 'convinced' 表示自己已被說服,處於確信的狀態。'convincing' 是形容詞,意為『有說服力的』,用來描述事物或人,而非描述自己的信念狀態。
×He convinced me to change my mind, and now I feel convincing.
✓He convinced me to change my mind, and now I am convinced.
再次強調狀態的區別。被說服後的狀態是 'convinced'(確信的),而不是 'convincing'(有說服力的)。後者通常用來描述說服他人的人或論點。
×I convinced about his honesty.
✓I am convinced of his honesty.
'convinced' 作為形容詞使用時,通常需要與 'be' 動詞連用,形成 'be convinced of/about something' 的結構。單獨使用 'convinced' 是不完整的。
×She convinced to me that the plan would work.
✓She convinced me that the plan would work.
動詞 'convince' 的結構是 'convince someone that...' 或 'convince someone of something'。介系詞 'to' 不能直接放在受詞 'me' 前面。'convince someone to do something' 則是正確的,表示說服某人去做某事。
×I am very convinced with his answer.
✓I am very convinced by his answer.
表達被某事物說服時,正確的介系詞是 'by'(表示動作執行者)或 'of/about'(表示確信的內容)。'with' 在此情境下不適用。
×After the talk, we all convinced.
✓After the talk, we were all convinced.
這裡缺少了必要的 'be' 動詞來構成被動語態或形容詞狀態。'convinced' 在此作形容詞,需要 'be' 動詞來形成『主詞 + be + convinced』的結構。
