Believe和believe in 的區(qū)別與聯(lián)系
其實(shí)這一對(duì)詞語都表示“相信不疑”的意思,但是具體的詞意有細(xì)微的區(qū)別。
Believe表示“相信”、“信以為真”（to accept as true）之意,它是及物動(dòng)詞,其后直接跟賓語.例如：
Do you believe his reports?你相信他的報(bào)告嗎?
I could hardly believe my eyes．我?guī)缀醪荒芟嘈抛约旱难劬Α?/p>
In ancient times it was believed that the earth was flat．古時(shí)候,人們認(rèn)為地球是扁平的.
Believe in則表示“信仰”、“信任”（to have faith in somebody or something）之意。其后的常用搭配語為：有關(guān)宗教、理論、原則、概念及可信任之人,如：a religion、ghosts、 fairies、 a theory、 a friend等詞；例中的believe為不及物動(dòng)詞.如：
We do not believe in ghosts．我們不信鬼神。
He believes in getting plenty of exercise．他相信多鍛煉身體就會(huì)有好處。
