重点知识讲解
【相关句型辨识】
His father made sure he did everything safely.
他的父亲确保他所做的一切是安全的。
在这句话中用到了 “make sure +(that)+句子” 译为 “确保...”，除此之外还有be sure+of/about+动名词或名词，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 is sure of success.他自信会成功的。
I'm sure of his honesty.我肯定他是诚实的。
If you are not sure about the situation in the world, you can read the newspaper every day.
如果你对世界形势不大了解，你可以每天看看报纸。
