e.g. I know Naruto can defeat his enemies to become Hokage of his village—I believe in him!
在談論某人相信及接受某種觀念、甚至是某個人的時候,「believe in」這個動詞詞組就可以派上用場。
例 我知道鳴人可以打敗敵人,而成為村子裡的火影───我相信他!
On the other hand, to simply “believe”—as opposed to believe in—someone is to trust his/her words regarding something:
e.g. I believe Naruto when he says that he’ll bring Sasuke back.
另一方面,如果是單純地「believe」而不是 believe「in」某人,則是指信任他對於某事的說法:
例 我相信鳴人所說,他會把佐助給帶回來。
When asking a friend if she thinks that ghosts truly exist, in other words, we should use the question: Do you believe in ghosts? Note that “ghosts” is plural because we’re asking about all ghosts, not just one.
換句話說,當詢問朋友是否認為真的有鬼時,
我們應該這麼問:Do you believe in ghosts?。
要注意的是,「ghosts」是複數,
因為我們問的是所有的鬼,而不只是一個鬼。
