Question

faith n.信任,信念,宗教信仰,忠实,保证,诺言,约定 This noun comes from the Old French word feid, meaning “faith, belief, trust, confidence, pledge.” It's often used when describing religion or the supernatural: people have faith in God, or actually refer to the religion they practice as their faith. Some choose to have the same amount of faith in a good friend or a well written recipe — anything that will come through for them in a time of need. ★★★☆☆ 2013.3
