英语中形容词作表语时必须有系动词,而汉语常说“他的信念坚定不移”,省略“是”,所以学习者常漏掉is。加上is后句子结构完整。
She was unshakeable for her beliefs.She was unshakeable in her beliefs.
unshakeable 与介词 in 搭配,表示“在……方面坚定不移”,不跟 for。将 for 改为 in 才符合英语习惯。
He has an unshakeable believe in justice.He has an unshakeable belief in justice.
believe 是动词,这里需要名词 belief 作 have 的宾语;unshakeable 修饰名词。把 believe 改为 belief 后语法才正确。
