Estimate is used especially to talk about things such as costs, which you would have to calculate to know exactly. Judge is used more for things such as distances, depths and speeds, which you would have to measure to know exactly. People often estimate future costs and lengths of time which cannot be calculated exactly, by thinking carefully about what is likely, given the information that they have. People often have to judge distances and speeds quickly, not by thinking carefully about all the available information, but by using their past experience as a guide. * estimate尤指对须计算才能得到准确数值的事物进行估算，如cost（成本）。judge多与distance、depth、speed搭配，指对需要测量才能得出具体数据的距离、深度、速度等方面进行判定。estimate常指根据已有信息，对所需的费用和时间等不能确切计算的概念进行仔细评估。judge常指凭借经验迅速对距离和速度作出判断，而不是对所有的信息仔细考量后再作出判定。■ reckon [transitive, often passive] to estimate an amount or time approximately 估算；估计◆The age of the earth is reckoned to be about 4 600 million years.估计地球的年龄大约为46亿年。◆They reckon (that) their profits were down by 30%.他们估计利润减少了30%。◆The trip was reckoned to take over two days.这次旅行估计要花两天多。ⓘ An amount or time that is reckoned may be more approximate than one that has been estimated. * reckon对时间的估算要比estimate更准确。■ calculate [transitive] to guess sth or form an opinion by using all the information available 预测；推测◆It's impossible to calculate the extent of his influence on her.无法估计他对她的影响有多大。◆Environmentalists calculate that hundreds of plant species may be affected.环保主义者预测数百种植物可能受到影响。 see also calculate ⇨ calculate ■ gauge (NAmE also gage) / /geɪdʒ/ / [transitive] (rather formal) to estimate the level or amount of sth approximately 估计，估算（水平或数量）◆We were able to gauge the strength of the wind from the movement of the trees.我们可以根据树的摆动估算风力强度。 see also gauge ⇨ criterion noun ■ figure [transitive] (especially NAmE, rather informal) to estimate the amount, cost or age of sb/sth, especially approximately 估计，估算（数量、成本或年龄）◆If we can figure roughly how much it will cost, we can decide what to do.如果我们能大致估算出费用是多少，就能决定怎么走下一步了。ⓘ In American English figure can also be used to talk about calculating sth exactly. 在美式英语中，figure还可表示准确计算。 see also figure ⇨ calculate ■ extrapolate / /ɪkˈstræpəleɪt/ / [intransitive, transitive] (formal) to estimate sth or form an opinion about sth, using the facts that you have now and that are valid for one situation and supposing that they will be valid for the new one 推断；推知；推算◆The figures were obtained by extrapolating from past trends.这些数据是根据过去的趋势推断出来的。◆These results cannot be extrapolated to other patient groups.这些结果不能够推及到其他患者群。▸ extrapolation noun [uncountable, countable] ◆Their age can be determined by extrapolation from their growth rate.它们的年龄可以从它们的生长速度来推定。 regard verb ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ think 另见think条regard ♦︎ call ♦︎ find ♦︎ consider ♦︎ describe ♦︎ see ♦︎ view ♦︎ count ♦︎ reckon ♦︎ look at sthThese words all mean to think or talk about sb/sth in a particular way. 这些词均表示认为、视为、看待。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to regard / consider / describe / see / view / count / look at sb / sth as sth◆to regard / consider / see / view / look at sb / sth from a particular point of view◆to regard / see / view / look at sb / sth with sth◆to find / consider / see / reckon sb / sth to be sth◆to consider / reckon that...◆to regard / consider / describe / see / view / count / reckon yourself (as) sth◆generally / widely / usually / still regarded / considered / seen / viewed / reckoned as sth◆no longer regarded / considered / seen / viewed as sth◆to regard / consider / describe / see / view / look at sb / sth differently◆to consider / describe / see / view / look at sb / sth objectively◆to regard / consider / view sb / sth favourably / positively■ regard [transitive] (rather formal) (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to think of sb/sth in a particular way 认为；视为；看待◆Her work is very highly / well regarded.她的工作受到高度评价。◆Capital punishment was regarded as inhuman and immoral.当时认为死刑既不人道也不道德。◆I had come to regard him as a close friend.我已渐渐把他当成密友。◆They regarded people outside their own village with suspicion.他们对外村人持怀疑态度。■ call [transitive] to say that sb/sth has particular qualities or characteristics 把⋯描述成；认为⋯是；把⋯看作◆I wouldn't call German an easy language.我不认为德语是一门容易学的语言。◆Are you calling me a liar?你是说我撒谎吗？◆He was in the front room, or the lounge, or whatever you want to call it.他当时在客厅，或者说是在起居室，你随便叫它什么都行。◆Would you call it blue or green?你认为它是蓝色还是绿色？◆I make it ten pounds forty-three you owe me.

In this meaning consider must be used with a complement or clause: you can consider sb/sth to be sth or consider sb/sth as sth, although very often the to be or as is left out. 这两个词含义相同，但用于不同的句型和结构。表达此义时，consider必须与补语或从句连用，可用consider sb/sth to be sth或consider sb/sth as sth，不过to be或as常省略不用◆He considers himself an expert.他认为自己是专家。◆They are considered a high-risk group.他们被视为高风险人群。You can also consider that sb/sth is sth and again, the that can be left out. 用consider that sb/sth is sth亦可，that同样可以省略◆The Home Secretary will release prisoners only if he considers it is safe to do so.内政大臣只有在他认为这样做是安全时才会释放囚犯。 Regard is used in a narrower range of structures.

You cannot ◆regard sb/sth to be sth or ◆regard that sb/sth is sth However, regard (but not consider in this meaning) can also be used without a noun or adjective complement but with just an object and adverb or adverbial phrase. 不能说regard sb/sth to be sth或regard that sb/sth is sth。不过，regard亦可不与名词或形容词补语连用，而只与宾语和副词或副词短语连用，consider表达此义时则不能这样用◆sb / sth is highly regarded某人／某事受到高度评价◆regard sb / sth with suspicion / jealousy / admiration以怀疑／妒忌／赞赏的眼光看待某人／某事 ■ describe [transitive] (always used with as 总是与as连用) to say that sb/sth has particular qualities or characteristics 把⋯描述成；认为⋯是；把⋯看作◆Jim was described by his colleagues as 'unusual'.吉姆被同事称为“非常人”。◆The man was described as tall and dark, and aged about 20.据描述，该男子个子高，深色皮肤，大约20岁。 see also describe ⇨ describe NOTE 辨析 Call or describe?These words have the same meaning but they are used in different patterns. Call is used with a noun or adjective complement, without as. 这两个词含义相同，但用于不同句型。call与名词或形容词补语连用，不带as◆I wouldn't call German as an easy language. Noun complements are much more frequent with call than adjective complements: you can say 'I wouldn't call German easy.', but it would be more usual to use the noun phrase 'an easy language'. Describe is used with as and an adjective or noun phrase. 名词补语比形容词补语更常与call连用：可以说I wouldn't call German easy，但更常用名词短语an easy language。 describe与as和形容词或名词短语连用◆Jim was described by his colleages unusual. Adjectives are more frequent with describe than nouns: longer noun phrases are possible, but with simple nouns use call. 形容词比名词更常与describe连用。较长的名词短语可与describe连用，但简短的名词则与call连用◆Jim was described by his colleagues as an unusual man.同事认为吉姆是个不寻常的人。◆Are you describing me as a liar? ■ see (saw, seen) [transitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to have an opinion of sth 认为；看待◆I see things differently now.现在我看问题的方法不一样了。◆Try to see things from her point of view.试着从她的角度去看问题。◆Lack of money is the main problem, as I see it (= in my opinion).依我看，主要问题是缺钱。◆The way I see it, you have three main problems.依我看，你有三个主要问题。■ view [transitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to think of sb/sth in a particular way 认为；视为；看待◆When the car was first built, the design was viewed as highly original.这车问世时，其设计被认为是独具匠心。◆How do you view your position within the company?你如何看待自己在公司中的位置？◆You should view their offer with a great deal of caution.你应当非常谨慎地看待他们的提议。ⓘ View has the same meaning as regard and consider but is slightly less frequent and slightly less formal.

You can also say 'How do you regard...?', although this is less frequent; it is not usual to say ◆How do you consider...? in this meaning. * view与regard和consider意思相同，但不太常用，也稍显不正式，主要用于view sb/sth as sb/sth（as不能省略）和view sb/sth with sth这两种结构。在一般疑问句中选用view是最自然的说法，如How do you view ...?也可以说How do you regard ...?，但较不常用；表达此义时一般不说How do you consider ...?。■ count [transitive, intransitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to think of sb/sth in a particular way; to be thought of in this way 认为；视为；看待；算作◆I count him among my closest friends.我把他视为最亲密的朋友之一。◆I count myself lucky to have known him.和他相识，我觉得很幸运。◆For tax purposes that money counts / is counted as income.那笔钱算作收入，需要纳税。■ reckon [transitive, usually passive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) (especially BrE, rather informal) to regard sb/sth as sb/sth 认为；视为；看待◆Children are reckoned to be more sophisticated nowadays.普遍认为现在的孩子比过去世故。◆It was generally reckoned a success.大家都认为那是一次成功。 see also reckon ⇨ think ■ ˈlook at sth phrasal verb to consider or view sth in a particular way （用某种方式）看待，考虑◆Looked at from that point of view, his decision is easier to understand.从那个角度看，他的决定比较容易理解。◆It all depends on how you look at it.这一切都取决于你怎么看待它。◆Look at it this way:...用这样的方式来看⋯ⓘ Look at sth is used especially when you are considering the different ways in which a situation can be considered. * look at sth尤用于可用不同方式看待某种情况时。 see also look at sth ⇨ consider think verb ➡ See also the entry for ⇨ regard 另见regard条think ♦︎ believe ♦︎ feel ♦︎ hold ♦︎ reckon ♦︎ make sth of sb/sth ♦︎ be under the impressionThese words all mean to have an idea that sth is true or possible or to have a particular opinion about sb/sth. 这些词均表示认为、以为。PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配◆to think / believe / feel / hold / reckon / be under the impression that...◆It is thought / believed / reckoned that...◆to be thought / believed / felt / held / reckoned to be sth◆to think / believe / feel / make sth of sb / sth◆to think / believe / feel sth about sb / sth◆to sincerely / honestly think / believe / feel / hold◆to personally think / believe / feel / reckon◆to really / seriously / mistakenly think / believe / feel◆to firmly believe / hold / be under the impression■ think (thought, thought) [transitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to have an idea that sth is true or possible, although you are not completely certain; to have a particular opinion about sb/sth 认为；以为◆Do you think (that) they'll come?你认为他们会来吗？◆I didn't think you liked sports.我原以为你不喜好运动。◆I think this is their house, but I'm not sure.我想这是他们家，但不敢肯定。◆We'll need about 20 chairs, I should think.我看我们需要大约20把椅子。◆It was once thought that the sun travelled around the earth.人们一度认为太阳绕着地球转。◆What did you think about the idea?你原先认为这个想法怎么样？◆Well, I like it.

When you are expressing an opinion, believe is stronger than think and is used especially to talk about matters of principle; think is used more to talk about practical matters or matters of personal taste. 如果说I believe ...，则可能意味着自己是被别人引导而有某种看法，因此对信息真确与否不承担责任。当表达意见时，believe语气较think强烈，尤用于谈论原则性问题；think更多用于谈论实际问题或个人喜好◆I believe that we have a responsibility towards the less fortunate in society.我认为我们对社会的弱势群体负有责任。◆I think we should reserve seats in advance.我想我们应该提前订位。◆I don't think he's funny at all.我一点儿都不觉得他有趣。 ■ feel (felt, felt) [transitive, intransitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) to have a particular opinion about sth that has happened or about what you/sb ought to do （对发生的事或应做什么）有某种看法；认为；以为◆We all felt (that) we were unlucky to lose.我们都认为我们输了是运气不好。◆I felt (that) I had to apologize.我觉得我得道歉。◆She felt it to be her duty to tell the police.她认为她有责任报警。◆I felt it advisable to do nothing.我觉得不采取任何行动才是明智的。◆This decision is, I feel, a huge mistake.我认为这个决定是个天大的错误。◆This is something I feel strongly about.这事令我感触颇深。 see also feeling ⇨ view 1 ■ hold (held, held) [transitive] (not used in the progressive tenses 不用于进行时) (rather formal) to have an opinion or belief about sb/sth; to believe that sth is true 怀有，持有（意见或信念）；认为；相信◆He holds strange views on education.他对教育有很不一样的看法。◆He has very firmly-held religious beliefs.他的宗教信仰极其坚定。◆She is held in high regard by her students (= they have a high opinion of her).学生对她评价很高。◆Parents will be held responsible (= will be considered to be responsible) for their children's behaviour.父母会被认为对孩子的行为负有责任。■ reckon [transitive, intransitive] (especially BrE, informal, especially spoken) to think that sth is true or possible 认为，以为（某事为真或可能）◆I reckon (that) I'm going to get that job.我认为我会得到那份工作。◆He'll be famous one day.
