在备考AEIS英语中，经常会对一些意思相近的单词有很多疑问，比如bike和bicycle，buy和purchase等等，到底它们有什么区别呢？今天新加坡教育网就和大家一起来解析两个常用单词。
它们就是assume和presume。
Presume
Presume is defined asto constitute reasonable evidence for assuming; to suppose that something be the case based on probability.
Presume：建立在合理证据上去猜测、假设；或根据事件发生的可能性去推测出某结果
After such a long day at work, I presume you are tired.
经过这么长时间的工作，我猜想你一定累了。
Once we saw that the plane crashed, we presumed the pilot was dead.
我们一看到飞机坠毁，就会推测飞行员已经死了。
To presume something is to suppose based on probability or reasonable evidence. This doesn't mean a presumption can't be wrong, but it does mean that you have at least some faith in or reason for a presumption.
presume是基于可能性或合理的证据而进行的，这并不意味着一个presumption（推测）一定是对的，它也有可能出错。但是，你的这个推测肯定是有理有据的。
H.G. Fowler wrote that the object-clause that follows presume is what the speaker/writer really believes until he is proven incorrect.
H.G.福勒写道：presume后跟的从句的内容，是其作者深信不疑的，直到它被证明是错的为止。
There is also a faint sense of presumptuousness to presume, in that it is something you presuppose or count upon.
这个词也隐约含有一种自我的感觉，因为它是完全由你去推测推断假设。
A good way to think about this is in the case of a court system. In legal proceedings, you are innocent until proven guilty. In other words, you are presumed innocent until it is proven that you are guilty. The burden of proof is on he who declares, not on he who denies.
考虑这个问题的一个好方法是把它放在法律系统中去理解。在法律中，你在被证明有罪之前都是无辜的。换句话说，在证明你有罪之前，你是presume无罪的。而这个presume是建立在presume主体对证据掌握的情况，不由其他主体的认知所影响。
Assume
Assume is defined as to take for granted; suppose to be the case, without proof.
假定：想当然；假设是这样，并没有证据。
I assume that is your natural hair color.
我猜那是你天生的发色。
I assume you have a job.
我想你是有工作的。
To assume something is to suppose without proof. In this sense, the speakerwriter feels no certainty one way or the other that his supposition is true or false.
assume假定某事就是没有证据的假定。从这个意义上说，说话者无法确定他的假设是对是错。
Assume is widely used when making arguments.
假设在进行论证时被广泛使用。
Assuming what you say is true, why should I do that?
假设你说的是真的，我为什么要那么做？
I assumed three things to found my theory.
我假设了三件事来建立我的理论。
I assume you also like pizza.
我想你也喜欢披萨吧。
In this sense, assume is taken for granted as the basis of an argument or action, but the speakerauthor still has no feeling of certainty towards their truth or falsehood.
从这个意义上说，假设被认为是建立在争辩或行为中上的想当然，但其实说话者对他们的真伪仍然没有把握。
小窍门
Withassumeyou have no proof for your supposition. You could say that you haveAbsolutelyno evidence. Bothabsolutely andassume start withAs. Withpresume, you have some type ofprooforprobabilitysupporting your supposition.Presume,proof, andprobability all start withPs.
你是没有办法来证明你assume的东西是完全合理的，你可以说你完全（absolutely）没有证据。Absolutely和assume都以a开头。对于presume，你有某种类型的证据（proof）或可能性（probability）来支持你的假设。Presume、proof和probability都以p开头。
