用法筆記

Subject is typically a person giving advice, warning, or argument; the object is the person being talked out of an action. Often followed by 'from + -ing'; the bare-object pattern ('dissuaded Obi') is possible but less common. More formal than 'talk out of'.

'dissuade' takes 'from + -ing', not 'to + infinitive'.
