Her smile convinced him that she was happy. 她的微笑使他确信她是幸福的。
注意:这句话的主语是her smile,而不是人做主语,所以就不能用persuade,而要用convince。(2)persuade着重理智方面的“辩论,证明”,所要求的主语一定是人,而不可能是事物。convince与persuade结构相同,即persuade/convince sb. that...;persuade/convince sb. of sth.。persuade和convince都表示结果,即说服了;若表示“说服”或“劝说”的动作,常用try to persuade/convince,也可用advise。例如:He persuaded me that it was not worth buying.他说服我,那东西不值得买。
persuade还可表示说明某人做(或不做)某事,其结构为:persuade sb.(not)to do sth.;persuade sb.into/out of doing sth.。例如:He persuaded me to do that.=He persuaded me into doing that.他说服我去做那件事。(3)advise只是表示劝说的动作,而不强调结果,但persuade不仅表示劝说的动作,同时又强调有结果。从词义上说,advise只是“劝告”,persuade的意思是“说服,劝服”,它强调了“劝告”的结果。例如:
I advised/tried to persuade him to start early but he didn't listen.我劝告(试着说服)他早点动身,可他不听。 ④(2010·浙江三校联考)Scientists are increasingly ________ that the earth is getting hotter because of carbon dioxide and other gases.A.convinced B.confident C.Concerned D.conscious答案:A

The general directed the troops to attack.将军命令部队进攻。
direct + that 从句,如:
The general directed that an advance (should)be made the next morning.
将军命令部队第二天早上向前推进。
3)副词direct与directly的区别:
direct的意思是径直地、直接地。指行路中不停步、不绕道、直奔目的地如:You must go direct to see a doctor.你必须直接去看医生。(意思是不要耽搁)
directly着重对事物的直接影响,不着重实际距离。指以一种直接的方式,表时间时,指“立刻、不拖延”之意。如:She has never spoken directly about Tom.她从不直接谈论汤姆。(意思是她较为含蓄)
The train goes there direct.火车一直开往那里。He is looking directly at me.他直直地看着我。He answered my question very directly. 他很直率地回答了我的问题。注意:directly也可作连接词,引导时间状语从句,意为“一……就……”。如:Directly I received his letter,I went to see him.我一收到他的信就去看他了。
