Define 和 Identify 有什麼分別？

Answer 1

最愛解答

Define --下定義, 界定

Identify -- 認出, 識別, 確定

eg.

a) We DEFINE “acidic” as a solution having a pH value of less than 7

b) We IDENTIFY whether a solution is "acidic" by using a blue litmus paper, which will turn red if the solution is acidic.

eg.

a) We DEFINE “a square” as a quadrilateral with 4 equal sides and 4 right angles.

b) We IDENTIFY a square by :

i) measuring its sides and angles, and so finding that it's got 4 equal sides and 4 right angles;

ii) proving that a given quadrilateral has got 4 equal sides & 4 right angles.

✰✰ 從例子可見, DEFINE 只是把某事物給出一個「定義」, 而 IDENTIFY 就是用實際行動/証明 去找出這事物是否符合給出的定義
