postulate, noun:
an idea that is an important part of a theory, argument, or explanation
作为一个理论/论点/解释重要组成部分的思想/想法应该有很多,到底是什么样的想法呢?是干什么用的?
在联系到动词:
to claim or imagine that something is true or that it exists
也没有充分体现假定/前提的意思。
感觉朗文解释不错:
postulate:
formal
something believed to be true, on which an argument or scientific discussion is based |
