🇺🇸 /sʌfˈɪʃʌnsi/
sufficiency 指“足够”这一状态,也可以指达到需要的足够数量。
💡 记忆钩子
把它想成一只装到够用程度的容器:容器达到“够用”的状态,是 sufficiency;容器里那一份具体而足够的东西,也可以叫 sufficiency。
📝 学习建议
- 它是名词,不要把它直接当作形容词 sufficient 使用;表示“足够的”时用 sufficient,表示“足够”这一状态或数量时用 sufficiency。
- 日常英语中,sufficiency 往往比“足够”更正式;普通对话里常用 enough 或 sufficient。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 充分;足够的状态📖 指某种资源、条件或能力已经达到所需程度,不再强调具体有多少,而强调“够不够”这一性质。💡 常用“the sufficiency of + 名词”或“sufficiency for + 目的”这一结构。它通常用于正式说明、评估或论证,不像 enough 那样适合日常口语。不要把它理解成“充足到很多”,它只表示达到需要的底线或程度。uncountableThe report questions the sufficiency of the current safety measures.这份报告质疑现有安全措施是否足够。We must assess the sufficiency of the evidence before making a decision.作出决定前,我们必须评估证据是否充分。
-
common 足够的数量📖 指一份具体的、足以满足需要的数量;重点从“是否足够”转向“足够的那一份东西”。💡 常用“a sufficiency of + 复数名词或不可数名词”这一结构,表示有足够数量的某物。这个用法较正式,日常表达通常改用“enough + 名词”或“a sufficient amount of + 名词”。不要把 a sufficiency 理解成“很多”,它只说明数量达到要求。countableThe team brought a sufficiency of food for the three-day journey.团队带了足够三天旅程所需的食物。
