 ♣ persuade, advice
　这两个词的区别在于：advice只指“劝”而不表示“服”；而persuade则不仅“劝”，而且使之“信”或“服”。例如：
　
 ♣ persuade, convince
　这两个词的共同意思是“说服”。其区别是：
1. persuade是站在说服方的角度的，多用于主动结构，而convince则是站在被说服方的角度的，多用于被动结构。例如：
　
2. convince强调“晓之以理”，通过摆事实讲道理的方法使对方“信”“服”，而persuade则方法多样，不仅晓之以理，而且动之以情，如恳求，还可以通过辩论或敦促等方法。例如：
　
3. convince侧重“服”，而persuade不仅表示“服”的结果，也着重“劝”的动作。例如：
　
 ♣ persuade, dissuade, lobby
　参见lobby条。
 ♣ 下面两个句子的意思相同：
　
 ♣ 下面三个句子的意思不同：
　

1. 他试图劝我参加讨论，但我因为心境不好而拒绝了。
　［误］ He persuaded me to join in the discussion, but as I was in a bad humour, I refused.
　［正］ He tried to persuade me to join in the discussion, but as I was in a bad humour, I refused.
　我试图劝说她让我跟她一块儿去，但没有成功。
　［误］ I persuaded her to let me go with her, but failed.
　［正］ I tried to persuade her to let me go with her, but failed.
　［析］ 表示“试图劝说某人做某事”可说try to persuade sb to-v，不可说persuade sb to-v, persuade sb to-v表示“（已经）说服某人做某事”。
2. 推销员劝说我们买他的产品。
　［误］ The salesman persuaded us that we bought his product.
　［正］ The salesman persuaded us to buy his product.
　［析］ persuade用来表示“说服某人做某事”时，一般不接that从句，可接带动词不定式的复合结构。
3. 我们使他相信了我们的好意。
　［误］ We persuaded him about our good intentions.
　［正］ We persuaded him of our good intentions.
　［析］ persuade后面可接介词of，表示“使某人相信某事物”。其中的of不能换用about.

　以往的语法学家都把persuade sb to-v中的to-v看作是宾语补足语，但现代有些语法学家认为to-v是直接宾语。
