语感
assess = 系统判断,evaluate = 综合权衡,estimate = 大致估算
评估评定判断
三词都可译「评估」,区别在于过程:assess = 收集信息后作出判断(assess a student's ability);evaluate = 全面权衡优缺点(evaluate the pros and cons);estimate = 用已有信息大致估算数字(estimate the cost)。高考写作里 assess the impact of...(评估...的影响)是高频表达,比 judge 更书面。
陷阱
⚠️assess vs estimate 场景选择
✗
The government estimated the environmental impact of the new highway.
政府评估了新高速公路对环境的影响。
评估环境影响是系统性判断过程,不是数字估算,用 assess 更准确
✓
The government assessed the environmental impact of the new highway.
政府评估了新高速公路对环境的影响。
⚠️assessment vs estimate 搭配
