The noun follows the verb assume, and assume has two jobs in English: to take something as true without checking, and to take something on — a post, a duty, control. The noun inherits both. One is a belief you picked up and never tested; the other is a role you picked up and now carry.

這個名詞跟著動詞 assume 走,而 assume 在英文裡做兩件事:把一件事「當成」真的(沒查證就先接受),以及更多收起這個名詞跟著動詞 assume 走,而 assume 在英文裡做兩件事:把一件事「當成」真的(沒查證就先接受),以及「接下」一個職位、責任或控制權。名詞把兩邊都繼承下來了:一個是你撿起來卻從沒檢查過的想法,一個是你接過來、現在扛在身上的位子。

把位子接過來
