n.|speculation/theory/perhaps/eye/assumption;假定；推測；想像；見解
“supposition”是一個名詞，表示基于有限證據或未經證實的猜測或假設。其核心含義是對某事的暫時性推斷，通常帶有不确定性，需要後續驗證。
源自拉丁語 suppositio（置于下方），由 sub-（在...之下）和 ponere（放置）構成，後經古法語進入英語，詞義逐漸演變為“假設”。
| 詞彙 | 關鍵區别 |
|---|---|
| assumption | 更強調“未經質疑的默認接受” |
| hypothesis | 特指科學中可驗證的假設 |
| presumption | 隱含“缺乏依據的武斷推測” |
supposition 意為推測，猜測。以下是該詞的詳細解釋：
supposition 通常用于以下語境：
that 連用。例如：The supposition that he had stolen the money turned out to be false.（他偷了錢的推測最終被證明是錯誤的。）on 連用。例如：The theory is based on the supposition that all men are created equal.（這個理論是建立在人人生來平等的假設基礎上的。）supposition 與 assumption、presumption、conjecture 等詞有一定的近義關系。其中，assumption 側重于假設或推測的前提，常與 on 連用；presumption 則側重于主觀臆斷，常含有貶義；conjecture 則更多地強調推測的不确定性。
supposition 的反義詞為 fact（事實）。因為 supposition 指的是基于猜測或假設的推測，而 fact 則是指真實存在的事實。
