词义辨析

v. (动词)

convince, persuade

• 这两个词的共同意思是“说服”。其区别是：
• 1.persuade是站在说服方的角度的,多用于主动结构,而convince则是站在被说服方的角度的,多用于被动结构。例如:
• I could not persuade her of his death.
• 我无法使她相信他已经死了。
• She is still not convinced of his death.
• 她还不相信他已经死了。
• 2.convince强调“晓之以理”,通过摆事实讲道理的方法使对方“信”“服”,而persuade则方法多样,不仅晓之以理,而且动之以情,如恳求,还可以通过辩论或敦促等方法。例如:
• How can I convince her of its truth?
• 我怎样才能说服她相信其中的真相呢?
• She persuades me to take the medicine.
• 她劝我把药吃下去。
• 3.convince侧重“服”,而persuade不仅表示“服”的结果,也着重“劝”的动作。例如:
• You try and persuade him.
• 你试着劝劝他。
• Is he convinced of your innocence?
• 他相信你是清白的吗?

induce，persuade，urge，convince，counsel，coax

• 这些动词均有“劝说、劝导、劝诱”之意。
• induce指用讲道理来使某人做某事。
• persuade普通用词，指通过劝说、感情交流等而使对方做劝说者所希望的事。
• urge语气强，指不断地、热情地规劝诱导。
• convince指凭行动、事实或言语使他人从思想感情上信服。
• counsel较正式用词，指对一些较重大事情所提出的劝告。有时也用于非正式场合，但仍强调严肃的一面。
• coax指用好话善意或耐心劝诱、哄骗某人做某事。

词源解说

• ☆ 1530年进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的convincere：com (强化前缀） + vincere (征服），意为完全地征服。
