advise¹

问

My sister advised me that I ____ accept the invitation. A. could B. must C. should D. might

我不知应选哪个助动词。

答

答案为 C, 见 request, suggest $^{1}$ , demand that, insist $^{1,2,3}$ 。

advise²

advise/persuade

问

I persuaded him to stop smoking, but he would not listen to me.

请问这个句子是否正确？

答

这个句子是错误的,因为 persuade 含有“说服 + 成功”的意思,因此不能用于“曾经劝告但未获成功”的场合。上句中的 persuaded 可改为 advised 或 tried to persuade,因为 advise 只表示“说服”“劝”“建议”,而不涉及成功与否(见 persuade)。

I advised him to stay at home. 我劝他住在家里。
My lawyer advises me to buy the house. 我的律师劝我买下这幢房子。
