New words：

persuade [pərˈsweɪd] v. 说服；劝说；使信服；使相信

“persuade” 的核心词根是拉丁语 “suad-”/“suas-”（意为 “劝说、建议”），前缀 “per-” 表“彻底、完全”，共同构成其语义核心。

persuasion [pərˈsweɪʒ(ə)n] n. 说服；劝说

关键搭配：

persuade sb to do sth（说服某人做某事）

I persuaded her to join the team.

persuade sb of sth（说服某人相信某事）

He finally persuaded me of his honesty.

注意：区别于 advise（仅 “建议”，不强调 “成功说服”），persuade 隐含 “达成说服效果” 的含义。

Sample Sentences：

Her persuasion finally made him change his mind.

They tried in vain to persuade her to see a doctor..

in vain [veɪn] 徒劳;白费力气；无用的;无意义的;无价值的
