Unsubstantiated is more formal and is more often used before a noun; unsupported is more often used after a linking verb in the phrase sth is unsupported by the evidence/findings, etc. 这两个词在含义上没有实质差别。unsubstantiated较正式，多用在名词前；unsupported多用在sth is unsupported by the evidence/findings等短语中。■ unscientific (often disapproving) not done in a careful, logical way, according to scientific principles 不科学的；非科学的；违背科学方法的◆Their approach to the problem was very unscientific.他们解决问题的方式很不科学。 OPP scientific ⇨ rational |
