assume 的用法及固定搭配

assume

1.assume和presume略有不同。I assume that you can do it是“我假定你能做它”,assume后面通常有that,I presume you can do it是“我相信你能做它”,presume后通常没有that。

2.assuming不必属于固定的某词,如下面第二句也不算错:

  • 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.
  • Even assuming a great willingness on the part of all our friends to help, few of them are properly prepared for it.
