truth, reality
这两个词都有“真实,现实”的意思。它们的区别在于:truth强调与实际相符。reality指实际存在、实际看到或经历过的事实,也可指抽象的客观现实,还可指艺术塑造和真实存在非常相像、逼真。例如:
This is not imagination but reality.这不是想象,而是现实。
He became that country's ruler both in name and in reality.他成了该国名义上和事实上统治者。
The child thought he was being helpful, but in reality he was a nuisance.那孩子认为他在帮忙,但实际上他是个令人讨厌的家伙。
下面两句话的意思相同:
There is some truth in his remarks.
There is some truth to his remarks.
他的话有些道理。
reality,truth
这两个名词均有“真实”之意。
reality侧重指某事物的客观存在的真实性。
truth含义广泛,指符合事实、没有错误或虚假。
