Nothing can weaken his resolve to become a lawyer. 什么也动摇不了他要当律师的决心。

注意be resolved有时候属于“助动词+形容词”结构，resolved是不及物动词的过去分词，然后作形容词。 He was resolved to do it.他决定去做。

resolve作动词时，后可接that从句，注意从句中用should或虚拟现在式。 We have resolved that our school should have a dining-room.我们决议学校要开个餐厅。

resolve同solve的比较：两者都有“解决，解答（一个问题）”的意思。使用resolve时容易引起误导，因它还有其它的意思，而solve只有一个意思。

resolve的基本意思是“决心”“决定”,指某人为了某种目的或信念而决心去做某事,往往强调个人在某个具体工作或行动中所下的决心。引申可表示“解决”,指为某些问题、争论或困难等找到答案并实施。resolve还可表示“分解”“分析”“转变”,其后常接on+名词/动名词、动词不定式或that从句。

resolve可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,接名词、代词、动名词或that从句作宾语,从句中的谓语动词须用虚拟语气。

下面三个句子意思相同: 他决心更加努力地工作。He resolved to work harder.He resolved on working harder.He resolved that he would work harder.

resolve还可用作名词,作“决定,决心”解。例如:He made a firm resolve to give up smoking.他下定决心戒烟。
