persuade是“說服”還是“設(shè)法說服”

persuade是“說服”還是“設(shè)法說服”呢？請看題：

I _____ him not to go abroad, but he wouldn’t listen.

A.persuadedB. tried to persuade

C. have persuadedD. was persuaded

【陷阱】容易誤選A。

【分析】正確答案為B。persuade 的真正意思是“說服”，而不是“設(shè)法說服”，要表示后者的意思英語應(yīng)用 try to persuade (當(dāng)然也可用其他詞，如 advise 等)。如：

The salesman persuaded us to buy his product. 推銷員勸說好我們購買他的產(chǎn)品。
