短释义：
Substantiate is related to the word substantial, which means “solid.” So, to substantiate a claim is to make it solid or believable. If the evidence given in support of an argument is weak and unconvincing, that evidence can be described as insubstantial. Of course, in special cases like the Tooth Fairy, having substantial evidence doesn’t seem to matter; fans just keep on believing.
证实就是支持某个主张。我们真的很想相信牙仙子的存在；然而，需要更多的证据来证实她的存在（除了你口袋里的那枚硬币）。

Substantiate 与“substantial”一词相关，意思是“实体”。因此，证实一个主张就是使其可靠或可信。如果支持某一论点的证据薄弱且不令人信服，则该证据可被描述为非实质性的。当然，在牙仙子这样的特殊案件中，有充分的证据似乎并不重要，重要的是。粉丝们只要继续相信。
