单词 | certain; sure |
释义 | certain; sure 都可表示“确信的;确定的”,仅作表语形容词;certain语气更重。 ❖ 表示“确信的”时,可互换,主语为人。如:She is certain (或sure) that he was wrong. 她确信他错了。◇ I am certain (或sure) of his honesty. 我确信他的诚实。 ❖ 表示“确定的,一定的”时,用法结构有差别。可以说It is certain that...,不能说It is sure that...,但It is certain that...可以转换成sb/sth is sure (或certain) to do sth的句型。如:It is certain that George will succeed. = George is sure (或certain) to succeed. 乔治一定会成功。(说话者对乔治的判断)注意下句的意思:George is sure of success. 乔治有把握成功。(他本人对成功有信心) |
