adj.(形容词)

1. sure表示“无疑的,确信的,有把握的”,指主观上对某事相信无疑,不涉及有无客观根据。在句中作表语。
2. “be sure+不定式”往往表示推测的口气,主语不一定是人,表示“一定会…的”“必定会…的”。
3. sure还可表示“无可置疑,千真万确”“不偏离的,不动摇的”。
4. sure用作定语时,表示“经证明可靠的,可信的”。
5. sure没有比较级与最高级形式。

adj.(形容词)

be sure of, be sure to

这两个短语意思不同,前者表示自己的主观看法,是针对自己而言的,而后者是表示对他人〔物〕的估计,对别人〔别物〕而言的。例如:

Fight no battle I am not sure of winning.

不打无把握之仗。

They are sure to succeed.

他们一定能成功。

I am sure,I am certain

I am certain比I am sure语气强,前者指“不容置疑的”“确实已成为事实的”,后者指很强的“愿望”“深信”，但是I am not certain与I am not sure意思相同。例如:

I am certain that he has left—I saw him go out.

我肯定他已走了——我看见他出去了。

I am sure that they'll win the game this time.

我肯定这次比赛他们一定赢。

我不能确定她是否过得幸福。

I am not certain if she is happy.

I am not sure if she is happy.

sure, certain, positive

这三个词都表示“肯定的”“确信的”,但所表示的程度有所不同。

1.certain强调有充分的根据,或自己直接所知道的事情的真相。

2.sure强调主观上怀有强烈的愿望或心里没有疑虑。例如:

I'm sure we'll start on time.我想我们能及时出发。

3.positive比sure和certain更加肯定,强调对自己所说的话或所下的结论的正确性深信不疑,常常表现出过分的自信或主观武断。例如:

I am positive that I saw this man before.我肯定我以前见过此人。

As I can't be certain,I won't be positive.在我不肯定时,我不想武断。

4.名词性从句作主语时,一般不用sure,而用certain。

sure，certain，definite，positive

这些形容词均含“无疑的，确信的”之意。

sure侧重主观上对某事确信无疑。

certain与sure同义，但语气比sure强，着重指有确切理由或不容置疑的证据所支持的确信。

definite指已毫无怀疑的余地。

positive语气强烈，指对自己的看法或作的结论的正确性有不可动摇的信念。

adj.(形容词)

我确信他将会对这起事故负全部责任。

误 I'm sure of that he will take sole responsibility for the accident.

正 I'm sure that he will take sole responsibility for the accident.

析 be sure of的宾语是that从句时,介词 of常省略。

他一定已经从北京回来了。

误 I am sure that he must have come back from Beijing.

正 He must have come back from Beijing.

析 must 用来表示讲话人肯定的推测,而 I am sure 也是讲话人用来表明自己的肯定的看法的。因此 must 和 I am sure 用在一起就语义重复,可把 I am sure 删去。

这报告肯定是假的。

误 It is sure the report is false.

正 It is certain that the report is false.

析 用it作形式主语代替后面的名词性从句时,不能用sure,只能用certain。

我不能肯定他已死了。

误 I don't know with sure that he's dead.

正 I don't know for sure that he's dead.

析 for sure表示“肯定地”,是习惯说法,介词for不能用with替代。

请一定锁好房子。

误 Please make sure that the house will be properly locked.

正 Please make sure that the house is properly locked.

析 make sure是动词短语,通常用于祈使句中,表示“肯定”“设法做到”,后面的从句中往往用一般现在时表示将来,强调某一愿望或要求一定要实现。

我对那事很有把握。

误 I am quite sure for it.

正 I am quite sure of it.

析 be sure of〔about〕 意为“对…有把握”“确信”,是句子的主语本身持有的态度,介词不可用for。

只要日本人民坚持斗争,他们一定会赢得胜利。

误 So long as the Japanese people keep on fighting they must win in the end.

正 So long as the Japanese people keep on fighting they are sure to win in the end.

析 must表示“命令”“义务”“责任”,或用以推测未知的事情,上面的句子表示将来肯定会取得某种结果,不可用 must,应用sure。
