相信

對於禁止在一些戶外地方吸煙,有些議員相信反吸煙法案無須涵蓋海洋公園,Such a move would convince legislators that there is no need for the park to come under the coverage of the anti-smoking bill。
在「七一」遊行前夕,田北俊議員說商界仍不相信陳太是一個比曾蔭權更佳的候選人,Mr. Tien said the business sector remained unconvinced that Mrs. Chan was a better candidate than Mr. Tsang。

Convince 是「相信,使信服」的意思 ,Unconvinced 即「不信服」。其他例子:He failed to convince the jury of his innocence是「他未能使陪審團信服他是無罪的」,「令人信服的」是Convincing,例如:I didn't find the ending of the film very convincing是「我覺得電影的結局難以令人信服」,「把政府總部設在添馬艦的決定不能令人完全信服」,是The decision to site them at Tamar is not entirely convincing。
