The two words can describe the same event, but from different points of view. If a speaker or writer implies something, they suggest it without saying it directly. * infer 和 imply 意义相反,两词可能描述同一事情,但角度不同。imply 意为暗示、暗指、意味着:◆The article implied that the pilot was responsible for the accident.文章暗指飞行员应对事故负责。 If you infer something from what a speaker or writer says, you come to the conclusion that this is what he or she means. * infer 意为从…中推断、推论、推定:◆I inferred from the article that the pilot was responsible for the accident.我从这篇文章推断,飞行员应对事故负责。Infer is now often used with the same meaning as imply. However, many people consider that a sentence such as :◆Are you inferring that I'm a liar? is incorrect, although it is fairly common in speech.现在 infer 常用以表达与 imply 相同的含义,不过许多人认为 Are you inferring that I'm a liar?(你意思是说我撒谎吗?)这样的句子不正确,虽然此用法在口语中相当普遍。🔑 to make it seem likely that sth is true or exists 说明;表明SYN suggest◆ ~ (that )… The survey implies (that ) more people are moving house than was thought .调查显示,准备搬家的人口比想象的要多。◆ it is implied that… It was implied in the survey that… 这次调查表明…◆ ~sth The fact that she was here implies a degree of interest . 她到场就说明了她有一定程度的兴趣。~sth (of an idea , action , etc .思想、行为等) to make sth necessary in order to be successful 必然包含;使有必要SYN mean◆ The project implies an enormous investment in training . 这个项目需要在培训方面做巨大的投资。 ➡ see also implication |
