Absolute and implicit can both mean total or complete, but implicit is more formal here and almost only used with trust, faith, confidence, or obedience. Absolute is the everyday, general word and can describe almost any noun. Implicit's common sense 'implied' is not compared here.
这两个词在“完全,毫无保留”这个意义上很接近,但implicit的这种用法更正式,且几乎只与trust、faith、confidence、obedience这类和信念有关的名词搭配,而absolute几乎可以修饰任何名词。这里不比较implicit更常见的“隐含的,不言明的”这一义项。
