    词汇搭配
    用作动词 (v.)
    ～+名词 副词+～ ～+副词 ～+介词
  • 词语用法
    1. 区别believe和believein的用法，believesomeone指“相信某人所为”，believein someone指“信赖某人的为人可靠”或“相信某人将有所作为”；
    2. 如果动词不是be，一般believe后用从句。

      I believed (that) you belonged to that company.
      我相信你属于那家公司。

    3. 当believe为被动语态时，后面习惯接不定式。

      You are believed to be honest.

    4. believe可理解为suppose。

      She believes she told me,but she is not sure.
      她以为已经告诉我了，但她自己也不太肯定。

    5. make believe是习惯用语，意为“假装”。

      She made believe to be ill.
      句中believe是不定式，但因前面是make，不带特定宾语，所以省略to。

    v. (动词)
    1. believe的基本意思是“相信”,指相信事物的真实性或相信某人说的话,引申可作“信赖”或“信仰”解。
    2. 在口语里, believe还可作“想”“认为”解,表示和缓的、不太肯定的口气,相当于suppose,有时则仅仅表示客气,不愿说得太绝对。
    3. believe用作及物动词时,后面可跟名词、代词或that/wh-从句作宾语,也可接以that从句(表示将来)充当直接宾语的双宾语; 还可接以“(to be+) n./adj. ”或动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语(表示过去或现在)。用作不及物动词时,后面常跟介词in。
    4. believe是状态动词，通常不用于进行时态。
    5. 在回答前面的问句时, believe须接so或not替代问句中肯定或否定的宾语。
    6. believe作思维活动的动词,常可用于转移否定句型,即句中的否定虽然出现在主句的主语动词之前,但否定的却是从句中的谓语、宾语或其他成分。
    7. believe的过去分词believed在句中常可用作表语,其后接动词不定式或that从句,意思为“据信…”,用于新闻报道中,以避免提及说话人。
    8. believe等动词后面的复合宾语的第一部分如果不是名词或代词,而是从句、动词不定式短语或动名词短语,通常要用it来代替,把从句或短语放到句子后部去。
    9. 在简略答语中一般不单独使用believe，而用I (don't) believeso.或I believenot。
    词义辨析
    v. (动词)
    believe, believe in
    • 二者都有“相信”的意思。其区别在于:believe表示相信某人说的话是真的或相信某事会发生(或已经发生); 而believe in却多表示信赖某人或信仰某事物,相信其存在或价值,其后常接真理、宗教一类的词,接sb 作宾语则指相信某人的人格。例如：
    • I can believe him, but I cannot believe in him.我可以相信他的话是真的，但是不相信他的为人。
    believe, accept
    • 这两个词都可以表示“相信”,但含义上有细微差别。accept强调的是对某人的解释或声明的真实性感到满意或认为可以接受,有时含有不加鉴别或者无可奈何甚至是违心的意思,常可译为“认可”; 而believe则强调相信某事是真的。例如:
    • He accepted the explanation without question.他认可了这个解释,没有提出疑问。
    • We no longer believed the lies spread by them.我们再也不相信他们散布的谣言了。
    believe, consider, think
    • believe与consider, think在用法上有以下相同之处:
    • 1.后面可以接that从句。例如:
    • Do you believe〔consider, think〕 that jogging is helpful to your health? 你认为慢跑对你的身体有益吗?
    • 2.后面可以接由名词或代词+to be(常常省略)的复合宾语。例如:
    • Do you believe〔consider, think〕 Mr. Bell (to be) a good doctor? 你认为贝尔先生是个好医生吗?
    • I don't believe〔consider, think〕 it possible. 我认为这件事情是不可能的。
    • Everybody believes〔considers, thinks〕 his living alone strange. 人人都认为他离群独居是不可思议的。
    believe, trust
    • 这两个词都有“相信”“信任”的意思。两者的区别在于:trust表示相信某人的为人或能力; believe则表示相信某人所说的话或其人格的可靠性。
    believe that, trust that...
    • 参见trust条。
    believe，trust，confide，rely

    • believe in则表示“信仰”、“信任”（to have faith in somebody or something）之意。是一个动介型短语动词。其后的常用搭配语为：有关宗教、理论、原则、概念及可信任之人，如：a religion, ghosts, fairies, a theory, a friend等词；例中的believe为不及物动词。
    consider，think，believe，count，deem，reckon，regard
    • 这些动词均含有“认为”之意。

      误I believe him to come.

      正I believe that he will come.

      析believe接动词不定式作宾语补足语时,在主动式中,只能用过去时或完成体; 若表示将来,则须使用that从句。只有在被动式才可使用动词不定式。例如:

    5. He is believed to arrive in time.相信他会按时到达。
    6. 我认为这是个错误,不是吗?

      误I believe that it was a mistake, doesn't it?

      正I believe that it was a mistake, wasn't it?

      析当陈述部分是主从复合句,主句谓语动词是believe时,如构成反意疑问句,其附加疑问句部分应与从句中的主谓一致。
