跟 believe 和 believe in 的区别有点类似,trust 与其对应的短语动词 trust in 的意思有交集,而且用法看起来基本一样,它们都可以意为“相信,信任,信赖”,但是还是有不同的地方。
1. trust sb,意为“信任,信赖,相信(某人的善良、真诚等)”,表示对某人有信心或相信某人是好的、真诚的或诚实的,后面可以接带 to 不定式,例如:
After what she did to me, I'll never trust her again.
在她对我所做的一切之后,我再也不会信任她了。
My sister warned me not to trust him.
我姐姐警告我不要相信他。
trust sb to do sth:
I trust him to make the right decision.You can trust me not to tell anyone.2. trust sth,意为“相信,认为可靠”,表示相信某事物是真实的、正确的或值得信赖的,例如:I don't trust air travel - it's unnatural.He trusted her judgement.Don't trust what the newspapers say!3. trust + that 引导的宾语从句,意为“想,希望,期望”,表示希望或期望某事是真的,例如:
I trust (that) you have no objections to our proposals?I trust that you will not blame me.
Trust in sb/sth 是对应于 trust 的短语动词,表面意思跟 trust 一模一样,意为”信任,信赖,相信“,例如:It's hard to trust in you after everything that has happened.We all trust in your decision, whatever it may be.
1. trust sth 和 trust in sth当表示相信某事是真实的或正确的且可以依靠(rely on)时,trust 和 trust in 的意思是一样的,经常可以通用,但 trust in 是正式用语,例如:
I trust his judgement completely. (正确)I trust in his judgement completely. (正确)跟 believe in 类似,trust in 也可以表示相信某物的存在,而 trust 没有这个用法,例如:The preacher told the congregation to trust in God. (正确)The preacher told the congregation to trust God. (错误)2. trust sb 和 trust in sb跟 belive in 类似,trust in sb 指相信某人的品行和能力等,而表示 trust 表示相信某人是老实的、真诚的或不会做坏事,比如你通常会把秘密告诉你 trust 的人而不是 trust in 的人,例如:Trust in me. I know what I am saying.解析:表示我觉得他不老实、不真诚或我再也不会把秘密告诉他了。
