Substantiate emphasizes the substance (= evidence) behind the claims; validate emphasizes the validity (= truth or rightness) of the claim. Validate is used especially about matters of reason or logic, with words like theory, argument and claim (especially when it is sb's claim to have a right to sth). Substantiate can also be used in this way, but it can also be used about matters of fact, with words like story and claim, when it is a claim about a fact. * substantiate强调支持主张的证据(substance)，validate强调主张的真实性或正当性(validity)。validate尤指证明原因是否充分或逻辑上是否成立，与theory、argument、claim等词搭配（此处claim尤指权利主张）。substantiate也有这个用法，但还可以指证明是否属实，与story、claim等词搭配（此处claim指事实陈述）。■ evidence [transitive, usually passive] (formal) to be evidence of sth, especially of a general fact about sth, or a trend (= a general direction in which a situation is changing or developing) 作为（一般事实或趋势等）的证据◆The legal profession is still a largely male world, as evidenced by the small number of women judges.法律界在很大程度上仍然是男人的世界，这一点从女法官的人数屈指可数即可得到证实。 see also evidence ⇨ evidence noun ■ corroborate / /kəˈrɒbəreɪt; NAmE kəˈrɑːbəreɪt/ [transitive, often passive] (formal) to provide evidence that supports a claim or theory, especially when sb has been accused of doing sth wrong （尤指某人被控做错事时）证实，确证（陈述或理论）◆Complaints will be investigated only if there is some corroborating evidence.只有掌握确凿证据时才会对投诉进行调查。■ authenticate /ɔːˈθentɪkeɪt/ / [transitive] (rather formal) to prove that sth such as a document is genuine, real or true 证明（文件等）是真实的；证实（为真迹）◆Experts have authenticated the writing as that of Byron himself.专家已鉴定这字迹是拜伦的亲笔。■ ˈtestify to sth phrasal verb (formal) to be considered as strong evidence that sth is true 作为⋯的明证；表明；说明◆The film testifies to the courage of ordinary people during the war.这部电影表明了老百姓在战争时期的英勇。 |
