这三个单词都有“评估”之意,但是你知道它们的用法吗?
首先,我们来看一下它们在牛津词典的英文释义!
1. assessment:n. the act of judging or forming an opinion about sb/sth 评定;核定;判定 (更强调动作)
e.g. Can you make an assessment of the present state of the economy?
你能对经济的现状做一个评估吗?
make an assessment of sth. 对...做一个评估
the present state 现状
2. estimate : n. a judgement that you make without having the exact details or figures about the size, amount, cost, etc. of sth (对数量、成本等的)估计;估价 (指通过对数量、成本等的评价、估价得出的结果,)
e.g. Can you give me an estimate of how long it will take to build the boat?
你能估计一下建造一艘船需要多长时间?
3. evaluation : n. an appraisal of the value of something 估价,评价(常有“肯定,正确”之意,带褒义)
e.g. He gave a positive evaluation of our scientific research.
他对我们的科学研究给予肯定的评价。
总结:三个词的相似点:对...的评价,三个词的后面都可接of sth, 但评价的侧重点不一样,大家要注意。
