形容词宾语从句

某些表示“主观感受”的形容词，在语义逻辑上等同于谓语表达，此时后面连接的名词性从句可理解为它的宾语，即形容词宾语从句。

【例1】 　We are fully convinced that John was the winner of the speech contest.

【译文】 　我们完全相信John是此次演讲比赛的获胜者。

【例2】 　I am afraid that you've misunderstood your boss.

【译文】 　我担心你误解了你的老板。

【例3】 　We are not sure whether/if we can persuade him out of smoking.

【译文】 　我们不能确定能否说服他戒烟。

此类的形容词常见的还有：

ashamed, anxious, aware, annoyed, certain, confident, convinced, disappointed, determined, glad, proud, pleased, satisfied, surprised, sorry, thankful, worried等。
