Assumed
未经证实就认为(assumed he was late)、接手职责(assumed office)、假装或摆出姿态(assumed a calm tone)。学术与商务里 assumed 常指默认前提。
- “I assumed the meeting was cancelled, but it still happened.” (我以为会议取消了,结果还是开了。)

- “The report assumed stable energy prices throughout the year.” (报告假定全年能源价格稳定。)
拉丁语 assumere(取来、承担),ad- + sumere(拿取),与 consume、resume 中的 sume 相关。
as-(= ad- 向)+ sum(取)+ -ed;名词 assumption。
礼貌提醒常用 don’t assume;法律 assumed risk 指“自担风险”。新闻标题 Assumed dead 表示“推定死亡”。
- 固定搭配: “assumed responsibility” (承担责任), “widely assumed” (普遍被认为), “assumed name” (化名)
- 名词: assumption
assume 像“把某前提拿进来”——assumed 是“已经先拿进来当真的了”。
