Though actually不過其實 it sits right beside envisage它跟envisage非常接近 and many good speakers treat them as twins很多程度好的英語使用者把它們當成一對雙胞胎。The small shade is this細微的差別是這樣的 : envision leans American, visual, and hopeful：envision比較偏美式、比較視覺化、比較樂觀 — you see the picture——你會看到那幅畫面。Envisage leans BritishEnvisage比較偏英式 and can be a dry plan with no pretty picture at all可能只是一個乾巴巴的計畫，完全沒有漂亮的畫面。

Both are for the not-yet. If the thing is already in front of you, you just see it; you do not envision it.

Both are for the not-yet這兩個字都是用在『還沒發生』的事情上。If the thing is already in front of you如果那件事已經在你眼前了 you just see it你只是看到它 you do not envision it你不會用envision這個字。
