使用believe而不是Expectation并说he expected that this time his beliefs would align with reality会不会很尴尬?

是的,这听起来可能有点尴尬!甚至上下文的含义也发生了变化。因为expects their beliefs to align with reality意味着您对其他人的思维方式而不是您自己的行为有期望。示例: I expected to believe him when he told me what happened, but I didn't. (当他告诉我发生了什么事时,我试图相信他,但我没有。) 示例: Through the years, I noticed that my beliefs were changing. I didn't expect that to happen. (我注意到这些年来我的信念发生了变化。我没想到会发生这种情况。) 示例: He expected the evening to go smoothly, but it didn't. (我原以为夜晚会顺利进行,但事实并非如此。)
