    Trustworthiness is the quality of being someone or something that can be trusted. It is the noun form — the thing itself, not a description of a person.

    Trustworthiness信賴度 is指的是 the quality of being someone or something that can be trusted某人或某事物可以被信任的特質。It它 is the noun form是名詞形式——the thing itself指那個特質本身,not a description of a person不是在描述一個人。

    You use it when you are talking about that quality as a subject: a company checks the trustworthiness of a new supplier; a reader questions the trustworthiness of a website; a judge weighs the trustworthiness of a witness. Because it names a quality, it fits naturally after words like question, doubt, prove, assess, and after of.

    You使用它 use it when當 you are talking about that quality as a subject你在把這個特質當主詞討論的時候: a company一家公司 checks the trustworthiness of a new supplier會查核一個新供應商的信賴度; a reader讀者 questions the trustworthiness of a website會質疑一個網站的信賴度; a judge法官 weighs the trustworthiness of a witness會衡量一個證人的信賴度。Because it names a quality因為它指的是一種特質, it fits naturally所以它自然會接在 after words like question, doubt, prove, assess像 question、doubt、prove、assess 這類字後面, and after of也會接在 of 後面。

    It is a long, formal word, and it belongs in writing more than in speech. In conversation people almost never say it — they say "can we trust them?" instead.

    It它 is a long, formal word是一個又長又正式的字, and it belongs in writing而且比較常出現在寫作裡 more than in speech而不是口語裡。In conversation在對話中 people almost never say it人們幾乎不會說這個字——they say而是會說 "can we trust them?" instead"can we trust them?"(我們可以信任他們嗎?)這句話。

    You will meet it most in news writing, business reports, school essays, and research about media and information.
