1.釋義不一樣,fact是事實(shí),是具體的一件事;truth是真理,是抽象的概念。truth強(qiáng)調(diào)的是真實(shí)性,fact強(qiáng)調(diào)的是事情本身。所以一般說(shuō)a fact,但很少說(shuō)a truth。
2.用法不同,fact作事實(shí)解時(shí)是可數(shù)名詞,作真實(shí)情況解時(shí),是不可數(shù)名詞,fact引申可表示論據(jù),細(xì)節(jié)等,truth的基本意思是真實(shí),真相,事實(shí),是不可數(shù)名詞,引申可作真理解,是可數(shù)名詞。
區(qū)別:
