1. besure of/about sth/doingsth,意为“确信......”;“对......有把握”。但在接名词时,be sure of 侧重指主语对某抽象事物的确信无疑;而be sure about 则侧重指主语对某具体事物的确信无疑。 例如:He issure of success. 他自信会成功的。 I'm sure of his honesty. 我肯定他是诚实的。 However, he went on to explain that he was not sure about twothings ---- the grammar and some of the idioms.不过,他接着就解释说,他在语法和某些习惯用语方面都没多大把握。 If you are not sure about the situation in the world, you can readthe newspaper every day.如果你对世界形势不大了解,你可以每天看看报纸。
若后面要接反身代词,则只能用 be sure of, 即 be sure ofoneself,意为“有自信心”。 例如:Joanwill sit for an important examination next week, but she is notsure of herself. 琼下周要参加一个重要考试,但她对自己没有十分把握。
2. be sureto dosth,表示说话人对句子主语作出的判断,认为句子主语“必定”、“必然会”、“准会”......。 例如: It issure to rain. 天一定会下雨。 He is sure to have known about that. 他准会知道那件事。 He told me I was sure to get a warm welcome.他告诉我,说我准会受到热情接待的。
然而be sure to do用在祈使句中,不是表示判断,而是表示对对方的要求,意为“务必要”,“一定要”。 例如: Besure not to forget it! 千万别忘记呀! Be sure to send my regards to your mother.务必代我问候你母亲。 Be sure not to do that again. 一定不要再干那种事了。
3. be sure+宾语从句,表示主句主语对宾语从句中涉及的事物所作出的判断,意为“确信某事一定会......”。 例如: I'mnot sure whether I've met him before.我不能确定以前是否见到过他。 We are sure he will make great progress this term.我们确信他这学期一定会取得巨大进步
