n.(名词)

truth, reality

这两个词都有“真实,现实”的意思。其区别在于：truth强调与实际相符。reality指实际存在、实际看到或经历过的事实,也可指抽象的客观现实,还可指艺术塑造和真实存在非常相像、逼真。例如:

This is not imagination but reality.这不是想象,而是现实。

He became that country's ruler both in name and in reality.他成了该国名义上和事实上统治者。

The child thought he was being helpful, but in reality he was a nuisance.那孩子认为他在帮忙,但实际上他是个令人讨厌的家伙。

There is some truth to his remarks.

他的话有些道理。

reality，truth

这两个名词均有“真实”之意。

reality侧重指某事物的客观存在的真实性。

truth含义广泛，指符合事实、没有错误或虚假。

n.(名词)
