小知识
To plead with someone is to try to convince them to see it your way. Your kids may plead with you to let them go on the super-huge outrageous roller coaster built in 1968, but you know better.
The term plead comes from the word plea, which is from the legal system, where lawyers make a plea to the court and argue a case for their client. To plead is to ask for something from someone, often on the verge of begging. You may plead with the phone company to give an appointment time that spans only three hours, but, regardless of your pleading, they will make you wait eight hours for the technician to finally show.

plead,appeal,beg,petition,entreat,pray
这些动词均含“请求,恳求”之意。plead指谦卑而又不失尊严地请求,侧重迫切感。appeal常指以道义原则为基础或以法律为依据的请求。beg比plead通俗,不用于法律范畴,指低声下气地请求,有时含贬义,指某人喋喋不休地要求得到帮助。petition指正式而热切地请愿或祈求。entreat的意义与beg的大致相同,但较文雅。pray指祈求,多用于宗教用语中。
