地道表達(dá)：have faith in
解詞釋義：此語義是指對某人或某事有信心，相當(dāng)于trust, believe in。與其意思相反的詞語有l(wèi)ose faith in(喪失信心，不予信任)。
拓展講解：與faith相關(guān)的一個短語還有break faith with，意思是“背信，放棄信仰”，其反義詞是keep faith with，意思是“拒不背棄”。
支持范例：
Eg. I have faith in you;I am sure you will do well.
我相信你，我肯定你會做好的。
Eg. We must have faith in the masses.
要相信群眾。
Eg. There are a lot of difficulties in front of us, yet we still have faith in victory.
雖然我們面臨很多的困難，然而我們對勝利仍充滿信心。
Eg. I have faith in his ability to succeed.
我相信他有成功的能力。
詞海拾貝：
1. fulfill one’s promise：履行諾言
Eg. If you make a promise you should fulfill it.
如果你許諾了, 你就要履行你的諾言。
2. keep faith with：守信，忠于
Eg. Parents should keep faith with their children.
父母應(yīng)該對他們的孩子說話算數(shù)。
