【詞匯漫談】lulu老師又和大家見面啦~
本期,我們來了解
imply vs. infer
Imply infer
The sender of this unspoken message is the one who implies, while the receiver is the one who infers.
imply : 暗示;隱含
to subtly hint ar a hidden message that isn't part of the actual words spoken or written.
infer: 推斷;猜想
to read into a message to understand the deeper meaning (make an assumption based on actions or the way things were said/written)
我們看一個(gè)發(fā)生在倆室友之間的故事:
Are you really wearing that?

Lily is implying that she doesn't like Jane's outfit.
Lily在暗示她不喜歡Jane的這身打扮
Jane could infer that Lily doesn't like her outfit.
Jane也能從Lily的言語用詞中推斷出她不喜歡自己的這身打扮。
換個(gè)角度,設(shè)想如果Lily是這樣表達(dá)的:
I don't like your outfit. You should change
那她就沒有imply這個(gè)行為了,她只是含糊其辭地把想法說了出來。
如果Lily真這么說了,那估計(jì)友誼的小船就說翻就翻咯。

(題外話:有沒有被Lulu老師的火柴人插畫震撼到?哈哈哈,用畫圖工具做的)
