persuade1

persuade/try to persuade

问

She went to work in the new dress I tried to persuade her to buy yesterday. (上海会考,94-27)

我看不出上面的辨错题有什么错误。

答

persuaded sb. to do 或 persuaded sb. that 是“说服 + 成功”的意思，而 tried to persuade 是“试图说服，但不一定成功”的意思。在上面的试题中，the new dress 她已经穿上了，当然“我说服她买它”是说服成功了的。故 tried to persuade 应改为 persuaded(参见 advise 2^{2} )。 请对比：

  1. He persuaded all the world – famous pop stars to come and sing at one of these concerts for free. He also persuaded other people to provide money or to give help. 他说服了所有举世闻名的流行歌星来参加其中的一个演唱会，进行义务演出。他还动员其他的人出钱或者给予帮助。

  2. He tried to persuade them to set him free. But they would not listen to him. 他试图说服他们把他放了，但他们不听。

persuade2

问

（1）He persuaded his daughter to change her mind. 他说服女儿改变主意。（《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》，p.1097）

(2) We persuaded him to try again. 我们劝他再度尝试。(《牛津现代高级英汉双解词典》, p. 836)

(3) Who persuaded you into writing that letter? 谁劝你写那封信？（同上）

(4) We persuaded him to go. 我们说服他去。(《钱伯斯英汉双解词典》，上海人民出版社，p. 588)

从上面的译文看不出 change(1), try again(2), writing(3) 和 go(4) 的动作是否发生, 也就是说, 看不出“劝说”成功了没有。

答

过去时 persuaded 的语义是“劝说”+“成功”的意思。因此，在翻译时应把“成功”这层意思给表达出来：

（1）他说服女儿改变了主意。（2）我们说服了他再试一次。（3）谁劝你写了那封信？（4）我们说服他去了。

persuade4

persuade sb. of/persuade sb. into

问

persuade sb. of 与 persuade sb. into 这两个结构的意义是否相同？

答

persuade sb. into 是指“说服某人做某事”。persuade sb. of 则是指“使某人相信”。例如：

  1. How can I persuade you of my sincerity. 我怎么才能使你相信我的诚意？

  2. We are persuaded of the justice of her case. 我们确信对她案件的审理是公正的。

  3. I persuaded him of its truth. 我使他相信了那是真的。

persuade sb. of 的含义也可以用 persuade sb. that 结构来表达:

  1. How can I persuade you that I'm sincere? 我怎么才能使你相信我是真心实意的呢？

  2. We eventually persuaded him that we are serious. 我们终于使他相信我们是认真的。请做下面的英语试题：

Since he lied to me, he will never persuade me ____ his sincerity or truthfulness.

A. of B. for C. in D. at
