本周，我们将回答孟加拉国雷扎的一个问题Sfd)-5zAp|d,H4s。雷扎写道：

"Trust me" or "believe me?"

“相信我”是“Trust me”还是“believe me?”

When I try to make my friend understand I am right with what I say, which one should I use of these two phrases?

当我试图让我的朋友明白我说的是对的，我应该用哪一个短语？

Dear Reza,

亲爱的雷扎，

Thank you for your question.

谢谢你的提问x9o7M1qbh@TXo。

You can use either word to try to persuade your friend.

你可以用这两个词来说服你的朋友j|Ex&yCl(!i3~。

But whether or not your friend accepts what you say likely depends on how long you have known each other.

但你的朋友是否接受你所说的可能取决于你认识对方多久695DhsJ#s[=KTOn;+G。

Trust usually comes with time.

信任通常随时间而来y-~*w3WdkY-1%36nkx*4。

Let's look at an example.

让我们看一个例子X,qxNNuHao|56#A8GO。

You tell your friend, "Believe me, I know how to pick the best-winning football team."

你告诉你的朋友，“相信我，我知道如何挑选最好的足球队lIt6Kyt%&g(M-。”

Here, you are using "believe me" to add force to your point.

在这里，你用"believe me"来强化你的观点+rAHW,R2-V7Ycek~GFo。

But in order to really convince your friend, you will likely have to show a few examples of how you have been right in the past.

但为了真正说服你的朋友，你可能得举几个例子来说明你过去是如何正确的L)p-UbbJY7wRx*ea^&b。

Until you prove it, he might not trust that you know what you are talking about.

除非你能证明，否则他可能不会相信你知道自己在说什么IiEUwYA_jZ#^P9Zpj[。

Here is another example:

下面是另一个例子:

Your friend sells bicycles for a living.

你的朋友以卖自行车为生,|kPu9%F+QQTe(d)l_p。

You know she is an expert on the subject.

你知道她是这方面的专家b6;|U6W.pN(。

Her experience means your trust her opinon when she takes you to buy a bicycle.

她的丰富经验意味着当她带你去买自行车时，你相信她的意见J0_-hXzbu7%I=。

"Reza," she says, "trust me, this is a really good bike for the price. If I were you, I would buy it."

“雷扎，”她说，“相信我，这辆自行车真的很划算xg[Xu3#r.DxVDWor.(B_。如果我是你，我就买TPj%.qOIlN=CDT*FCe。”

She is also using "trust me" to add force to her point.

她还利用“trust me”来强化自己的观点|MfzoE!nsjfc_^v。

But here, she is suggesting that you do not need to verify, or check, to see if what she says is true. She has already earned your trust.

但在这里，她的意思是，你不需要核实或检查她说的是不是真的%Vrs;-ozx,m_BBxx5。她已经赢得了你的信任&s8OQA*^MZQ,BBU#。

So your response may be:

所以你的回答可能是:

"I trust you! If you think this bike is a good deal, then I am ready to buy it. I want it in red!"

“我相信你！如果你认为这辆自行车很划算，那我准备买了RX98a7u4H&A=[5!ibw。我要红色的！”
