convince?ment n
convinc?er n
convinc?ible adj
According to a traditional rule, one persuades someone to act but convinces someone of the truth of a statement or proposition:
根據壹條習慣規則，壹個人 persuades（說服）某人做某事而 convinces（使確信）某人相信壹句話或壹個提議的正確性：
By convincing me that no good could come of staying, he persuaded me to leave. If the distinction is accepted, then convince should not be used with an infinitive:
通過讓我確信留下來沒有好處，而說服我離開了。如果這壹區別被接受的話，那麽 convince就不應和不定式連用：
He persuaded (not convinced) me to go.In an earlier survey, a majority of the Usage Panel held that this distinction should be maintained, but the use of convince with an infinitive has become increasingly common even among reputable writers, and it is unlikely that this stricture can be maintained for much longer.
他說服（不能用 convinced) 我離開。在更早的壹次調查中，用法專題使用小組成員的大多數人認為這壹區別應當保持，但是甚至在知名作家中 convince和不定式連用的用法也已變得日漸普遍起來，這壹限制不可能會保持很久
