※ 引述《jill (陳吉兒)》之銘言：
: 題目：
: He tried very hard to ＿＿＿ us that he didn't do it on purpose.
: (A) persuade
: (B) dissuade
: (C) convince
: (D) convict
: 疑問：為甚麼是C 而不是A呢？ 謝謝。
其實若按照我手邊 Macmillan English Dictionary (MED 2nd edition)的解釋，
(A)及(C)應該都稱的上正確的選項，我把該字典的解釋附於下:
persuade: to make sb believe that sth is true
persuade sb (that): I managed to persuade him that it was not his fault.
convince: to make sb believe that sth is true
convince sb (that): Maria had convinced herself that he didn't love her.
如上所示，兩字的解釋及用法完全相同，我粗淺地認為(A)及(C)應該都對。
