核心畫面

What actually happened or is actually so — the real facts, as opposed to what someone made up, imagined, or hoped.

可以想成「事情真正的樣子」:真的發生過、真的如此的那一面,跟編造的、想像的、自己希望的分開來。truth 這個字的核更多收起可以想成「事情真正的樣子」:真的發生過、真的如此的那一面,跟編造的、想像的、自己希望的分開來。truth 這個字的核心畫面,就是手指向那塊「貨真價實、沒有摻假」的事實。

Three branches

真實的事實

這一家是 truth 最實在的部分:具體的真相、抽象的「真實程度」,以及被眾人接受的「真理」。都還在講「符不符合事實」這件事,只是從一件事的真相,放大到一條普遍的道理。

the real facts · noun · B2

The real facts about something, not what is made up, imagined, or guessed.

真相、實話

老實說的固定話

這一家不是 truth 的新意思,而是把「真相」這顆核心包進幾句固定開場白裡。說話的人等於先聲明:「接下來這句是貼著事實、貼著我真心講的。」記整句比記單字有用。

in truth · noun · B2

Used in the phrase 'in truth' to mean 'in fact' or 'really'.

事實上、其實

強調真假的成語

這一家也是把核心包進成語,但重點在「用力強調」真或假:一句拚命否認、一句斷言真相藏不住。都還站在「真實」這顆核心上,只是語氣更重。

nothing could be further from the truth · noun · B2

Used in 'nothing could be further from the truth' to say strongly that something is not true.

完全不是這樣
