She would call me on the phone, convinced that a tornado was coming her way and that she was going to die.

【翻译】她会打电话给我，相信龙卷风就要出现在她的面前，她快要死了。

【分析】convince的意义是“使...信服”， 主语为“人”时，要用被动形式。结构为：be conviced + that从句，意思相当于：believe + that从句。所以，当它以非谓语出现，逻辑主语为“人”时，须用过去分词。

过去分词短语convinced that a tornado was coming her way and that she was going to die，在本句作方式状语。

此外，convinced 还可以看作形容名词用法。又如：

I was convinced that he knew the truth.

我确信他知道事实。

They were convinced that he would not fail them.

他们相信他不会辜负他们的期望。

You will soon be convinced that she is right.

你不久就会相信她是对的。

You will be convinced that our product is superior.

你一定会相信我们的产品比别家的好。

I am not at all convinced that he's so cool a head.

我根本没法相信他的头脑这么冷静。

I am convinced that she is innocent.

我坚信她是清白无辜的。

I'm convinced that what you said is quite right.

我相信你说的是对的。

I was convinced that we were doing the right thing.

我坚信我们做的事是对的。

我已确信所学到的这些东西他们会永远不忘。
