使用assuming时,不用指明它是属于哪个固定的词。 Even assuming a great willingness on the part of all our friends to help, we must not forget that few of them are properly prepared for it.尽管我们假设只有部分朋友是情愿,帮忙的,但我们不能忘了他们中的少数是真的准备了的。 Even assuming a great willingness on the part of all our friends to help, few of them are properly prepared for it.上面两个表达方式都是正确的。
v.(动词)assume的基本意思是“想当然”,即指人假定某事物是真实的,它可以指事物本身的真实性,也可以表示事物会发生什么样的结果。
assume作“假设”解时,指在证据很少或者存有异议时,甚至在根本没有证据的情况下进行推测,含有较强的武断成分。
assume还可表示“装出一种虚假或骗人的表情”。
assume后可接that从句,表示“假定某人会…”。
