地道表达：have faith in
解词释义：此语义是指对某人或某事有信心，相当于trust, believe in。与其意思相反的词语有lose faith in（丧失信心，不予信任）。
拓展讲解：与faith相关的一个短语还有break faith with，意思是“背信，放弃信仰”，其反义词是keep faith with，意思是“拒不背弃”。
支持范例：
Eg. I have faith in you;I am sure you will do well.
我相信你，我肯定你会做好的。
Eg. We must have faith in the masses.
要相信群众。
Eg. There are a lot of difficulties in front of us, yet we still have faith in victory.
虽然我们面临很多的困难，然而我们对胜利仍充满信心。
Eg. I have faith in his ability to succeed.
