在英语中，劝说通常用「persuade」或「convince」来表达。「Persuade」来源于拉丁文「persuadere」，意思是「使服从、说服」；「convince」来源于拉丁文「convinco」，意思是「使信服、说服」。两个词的意思都类似，但是「persuade」更强调说服的过程，而「convince」则更强调说服的结果。

下面是一些例句：

I tried to persuade her to come with us, but she refused.

我试图劝说她和我们一起来，但是她拒绝了。

I'm convinced that he's the right person for the job.

我确信他是这份工作的合适人选。

It took a lot of convincing, but I finally got him to agree to go on a date with me.

经过了很多劝说，我终于说服他同意和我约会。
