overestimate
★
🇺🇸 /ˌoʊvɚˈɛstʌmˌeɪt/
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。

core 高估📖 指判断或计算时把实际数量、程度或价值想得太高,结果超过了真实情况。💡 直接接被高估的对象,如“overestimate the cost”或“overestimate the number of people”。它常用于过去时描述已经发生的判断错误,也可用于一般事实;不要与表示“低估”的词混淆。We overestimated how much time the repair would take.我们高估了这次维修所需的时间。She overestimated the number of guests and ordered too much food.她高估了客人的人数,结果点了太多食物。
