摘自Little Brown Handbook
continual, continuous
Continual means "constantly recurring": Most movies on television are
continually interrupted by commercials. Continuous means "uneasing":
Cable television often presents movies continuously without
commercials.
convince, persuade
In the strictest sense, to convince someone means to change his or her
opinion; to persuade someone is to move him or her to action. Convince
is thus properly followed by of or that, whereas persuade is followed
by to: Once convinced of Othello of Desdemona's infidelity, Iago
easily persuaded him to kill her.
