Indubitable

“Indubitable” 是形容词,语气比 “certain” 或 “clear” 更正式且更强。它表示某事不仅是真实的,而且其真实性是如此绝对,以至于任何有理性的人都不会产生怀疑。

在笛卡尔(Descartes)的哲学中,他追求一种“无可置疑的知识”(indubitable knowledge)。他通过“怀疑一切”的方法,最后得出了“我思故我在”这一唯一不可怀疑的真理。

  • 副词: “indubitably” (不容置疑地)。
  • 名词: “indubitability” (不容置疑性)。
  • 反义词: “doubtful” (可疑的)。

将单词拆分为 in- (不) + dubit (源自 doubt,怀疑) + able (可以)。如果你“不可以”产生“怀疑”,那它就是“不容置疑的”。

“The scientist spent years testing her theory. She ran thousands of experiments until the results were always the same. Finally, she presented her findings to the world. The data was so clear and complete that it was indubitable. Even her strongest critics had to agree that she had discovered a new law of nature.” (这位科学家花了几年的时间测试她的理论。她做了成千上万次实验,直到结果总是相同。最后,她向世界展示了她的发现。数据是如此清晰和完整,以至于它是毋庸置疑的。即使是她最强烈的批评者也不得不承认,她发现了一条新的自然法则。)
