单词 | 未被证实 |
释义 | 〔fact〕Fact has a long history of usage in the sense "allegation of fact,” as in "This tract was distributed to thousands of American teachers, but the facts and the reasoning are wrong" (Albert Shanker).This practice has led inevitably to the introduction of the phrasestrue facts and real facts, as inThe true facts of the case may never be known. These usages may occasion qualms among critics who hold that facts cannot be other than true,but they often serve a useful purpose.Fact 有一个漫长的历史用于表示“宣告事实”, 如在“这个小册子被散发到数以千计的美国教师手中,可这个宣称的事实和推理过程是错误的” (阿尔伯特·尚克)。这个惯例不可避免地导致引进词组true facts 和 real facts , 如在这个案件的真实可能从未被证实 中。 这些用法在那些认为不可能不是真的事实的批评家中可能引起疑虑,而他们常用于有用的目的〔alleged〕Analleged burglar is someone who has been accused of being a burglar but against whom no charges have been proved. Analleged incident is an event that is said to have taken place but has not yet been verified. In their zeal to protect the rights of the accused,newspapers and law enforcement officials sometimes misusealleged. A man arrested for murder may be only analleged murderer, for example, but he is a real, not analleged, suspect in that his status as a suspect is not in doubt. Similarly, if the money from a safe is known to have been stolen and not merely mislaid,then we may safely speak of a theft without having to qualify our description withalleged. 一个alleged(有嫌疑的) 强盗是指被指控为强盗但并未得到证实的人。 alleged(据称的) 的事件是一件据说发生过但还未被证实的事。 出于保护被指控者权力的热情,报界和执法官员有时误用alleged 这个词。 比如说,一个因谋杀而被捕的人,可能只是个alleged(有嫌疑的) 谋杀犯, 但当他是真正的而不是alleged(据称的) 嫌疑犯时,那么他身为嫌疑犯的处境就是毫无疑问的。 与此相似,如果放在保险箱里的钱已知是被人偷走而不仅仅是放错了,那么我们应该可以毫不犹豫地把它说成盗窃案而不用加alleged 这个词来限定我们的描述 〔phrenology〕The study of the shape and protuberances of the skull, based on the now discredited belief that they reveal character and mental capacity.颅相学:对颅骨形状和隆起的研究,基于他们揭示性格和大脑容量但现在还未被证实的信条 |
