单词 | presumptive(presumptuous) |
释义 | presumptive : presumptuous — 688 这两个形容词远非同义:前者是作“可想而知的”或“足以推断的”讲,多半用于与法律有关的场合;后者则是“冒昧的”和“自以为是的”的意思,与法律无关。 例如: This case cannot be tried on merely presumptiveevidence. 这件案子不能只凭个人臆测来审理。 Until the will is read, your role as heir to the estate is presumptive. 你能不能成为遗产的继承人要等到审查了遗嘱之后才能肯定。 It would be presumptuous of me to tell you how to handleyour affairs. 要我来对你讲怎样料理你自己的事,未免有些冒昧。 To argue with an expert as he seems presumptuous. 同他这样的专家争辩,未免有点不自量力。 |
