短释义
A hypothesis is something more than a wild guess but less than a well-established theory. In science, a hypothesis needs to go through a lot of testing before it gets labeled a theory. In the non-scientific world, the word is used a lot more loosely. A detective might have a hypothesis about a crime, and a mother might have a hypothesis about who spilled juice on the rug. Anyone who uses the word hypothesis is making a guess.
在科学中,假设是一种想法或解释,然后可以通过研究和实验来检验。在科学之外,理论或猜测也可以称为假设。

假设不仅仅是一个疯狂的猜测,但还不是一个完善的理论。在科学中,一个假设在被标记为理论之前需要经过大量的测试。在非科学领域,这个词的使用更为宽松。侦探可能会对犯罪有一个假设,而母亲可能会对谁将果汁洒在地毯上有一个假设。任何使用“假设”这个词的人都是在进行猜测。
