练习 1
Bruno writes that he has the "utmost confidence in Susan's abilities". He means that:
Bruno writes that he has the "utmost confidence in Susan's abilities". He means that:
This is not what Bruno's line expresses. Bruno has confidence in Susan's abilities. He is not curious how she will "respond to this challenge".
When Bruno writes that he "has the utmost confidence in Susan's abilities" he is expressing that he "believes strongly in Susan's abilities" or that he "trusts Susan's talents". "To think highly of someone" shares a very similar idea to the expression "to have confidence in someone". To have the "utmost" respect for someone is to hold that person in the highest esteem.
In English, the noun "confidence" has a few meanings: when someone "has confidence" in someone, it means that they trust or believe in them. Someone can also "keep information confident" or "confidential" which means to keep something "secret" or "classified". However, in Bruno's line, he is indicating that he "trusts Susan's abilities" and not that they discuss intimate things.
