Validate is used especially about matters of reason or logic, with words like theory, argument and claim (especially when it is sb's claim to have a right to sth). Substantiate can also be used in this way, but it can also be used about matters of fact, with words like story and claim, when it is a claim about a fact. * substantiate強調支持主張的證據(substance),validate強調主張的真實性或正當性(validity)。validate尤指證明原因是否充分或邏輯上是否成立,與theory、argument、claim等詞搭配(此處claim尤指權利主張)。substantiate也有這個用法,但還可以指證明是否屬實,與story、claim等詞搭配(此處claim指事實陳述)。■evidence [transitive, usually passive] (formal) to be evidence of sth, especially of a general fact about sth, or a trend(= a general direction in which a situation is changing or developing)作爲(一般事實或趨勢等)的證據◆The legal profession is still a largely male world, as evidenced by the small number of women judges.法律界在很大程度上仍然是男人的世界,這一點從女法官的人數屈指可數即可得到證實。 see also evidence ⇨ evidencenoun■corroborate kəˈrɒbəreɪt; NAmEkəˈrɑːbəreɪt [transitive, often passive] (formal) to provide evidence that supports a claim or theory, especially when sb has been accused of doing sth wrong(尤指某人被控做錯事時)證實,確證(陳述或理論)◆Complaints will be investigated only if there is some corroborating evidence.只有掌握確鑿證據時才會對投訴進行調查。■authenticateɔːˈθentɪkeɪt [transitive] (ratherformal) to prove that sth such as a document is genuine, real or true證明(文件等)是真實的;證實(爲真迹)◆Experts have authenticated the writing as that of Byron himself.專家已鑒定這字迹是拜倫的親筆。■ˈtestify to sth
