  • 词义辨析

    confidence, belief, faith, trust

    这组词都可以表示“相信”。它们的区别在于:
    1.faith指有事实依据证明某人或某物真实可靠,毋庸置疑; belief是普通用语,指没有经过自己亲自观察和亲身经历就去相信,即使事实不真或根本不存在也不产生怀疑。例如:
    I have great belief in his ability to succeed.我相信他有能力获得成功。
    confidence指根据自己的观察,有充分的理由和证据承认某事是正确的。例如:
    I had confidence in my own youth and energy.我对自己的年轻和精力很有信心。trust指从本人直观感觉认为某人的行为是正确的、符合道德标准的,可以信托。例如:
    A child usually has perfect trust in his mother.孩子通常都很信任自己的母亲。
    2.faith后可接that从句; belief后也可接that从句。例如:
    Their great driving force is the belief that they are doing right.他们相信自己做得对的信念驱使他们前行。
    confidence除可接that从句外,还可接动词不定式。例如:
    I hadn't got enough confidence to go ahead .我没有足够的信心前进了。
    trust除可用作名词外,还可用作动词。例如:
    Can you trust his account of what happened?你相信他所说的这件事发生的原因吗?
