evident

形容某件事清楚到几乎不用进一步证明，一看或根据现有情况就能判断为真。

💡 记忆钩子

想象阳光照亮一个原本看不清的物体：它一旦显露出来，就变得 evident（明显、清楚），于是人们也能直接看出某个事实是真的。

📝 学习建议

先把 evident 和“明显的、显而易见的”这一核心意思连起来，再记住它常用于说明一个判断或事实，而不是单纯描述物体的外观。
不要把 evident 当作名词“证据”；“证据”是 evidence，evident 是形容词。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 显而易见的

📖 就像被阳光照亮的东西一样，事实已经清楚地显露出来，普通观察或简单判断就能看出它是真的。它既可以说某件事本身很明显，也可以说明某个结论是从迹象中直接看出的。

💡 常用“it is evident that...”表示“显然……”，或用“be evident from...”“be evident to...”说明明显的依据或对象。它通常作表语，也可作定语，如“evident signs”；语气较正式，日常对话中常可换成更口语的“明显的”。不要把“明显”误解为“看起来漂亮”或只限于视觉上的可见。

It was evident that she was upset after she left the room.

她离开房间后，显然很不高兴。

The damage was evident from the broken window.

从破碎的窗户就能明显看出受到了损坏。

🌳 词源

经由中古英语和古法语，源自拉丁语中表示“看得见、显而易见”的词，与“看见后显露清楚”的概念有关。

From Middle English evident, from Old French evident, from Latin ēvidēns (“visible, apparent, clear, plain”) (compare Late Latin ēvideor (“to appear plainly”)), from ē (“out”) + videō (“see”), present participle vidēns, deponent videor (“to appear, seem”). Displaced native Old English sweotol.
