noun 编号: O01180 BNC #14129 COCA #12942
overestimate 表示“估计得过高”:既可指过高的估计,也可指把数量、程度或价值判断得太高。
💡 记忆钩子
把实际高度想得比真实情况更高:这个“高估”出来的结果是 overestimate,作名词指过高的估计,作动词指高估某事物。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握动词“高估”,再记名词“过高的估计”;两者都围绕“估得太高”这一核心。
  • 不要把它理解成一般的“估计”;它明确表示估计结果超过了实际情况。

noun
  • core 过高的估计
    📖 指估出来的数字、程度或价值比实际情况高,也就是一次“高估”的结果。
    💡 常用“an overestimate of + 数量或对象”表示“对某事物的过高估计”,也可说“be an overestimate”。它多用于预测、预算和统计等语境,不能单独泛指任何估计。
