【辨析】persuade,advise与suggest都有“劝说、建议”之意。区别如下:
1) persuade作“劝解”讲, 强调“劝说成功”之意。常用于下列句型:persuadesb. to do sth./ persuade sb. into doing sth.。如:
Products also need to have a short lifespan sothat the public can be persuaded to replace them within a shorttime(. 2008重庆卷阅读理解E篇)
注意:如果表示“劝说某人做某事”, 要用try to persuade sb. to dosth.或advise sb. to do sth.。如:
There is nothing more I can try to persuade youto stay, so I wish you good luck. (2007上海卷)
2) advise作“建议、劝告”解,至于是否“劝成”,则未必知道。其后跟名词或代词、动名词、不定式复合结构、that从句(从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气)。如:
An advertisement might say, “Nine out of tendoctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to curetoothache.”( 2008全国II卷阅读理解C篇)
Even in his 80s he traveled across the country toadvise teachers and management people on how to setobjectives(目标) that develop the best teaching andlearning within their schools. (2007全国I卷阅读理解D篇)
3)suggest(vt.)常作“提议、建议”讲。后接名词、动名词或带疑问词的不定式短语。从句要用虚拟语气,但不能接不定式和复合宾语。如:
What does the author suggest as a way to dealwith overborrowing? (2008四川延考区试题阅读理解D篇)
注意:suggest还可以表“暗示、说明”等意思,后接宾语从句时,从句中谓语动词不用虚拟语气。如:
He came to my class every week, but his attitudesuggested he was not really interested in thesubject.(2001上海春)
