truism 的詞源
truism(n.)
“无疑或自明的真理,”1708年,来自 true (adj.) + -ism; 首次出现在Swift的作品中。
A truism in the strict sense (to which it might be well, but is perhaps now impossible, to confine it) is a statement in which the predicate gives no information about the subject that is not implicit in the definition of the subject itself. What is right ought to be done ; since the right is definable as that which ought to be done, this means What ought to be done ought to be done, i.e., it is a disguised identical proposition, or a truism. [Fowler, 1926]
在严格意义上,一个 truism(可能现在不再可能,但值得限制的)是一个陈述,其中谓词未提供关于主语的任何信息,这些信息在主语自身的定义中是隐含的。 What is right ought to be done ; 由于 right 可以定义为 that which ought to be done,这意味着 What ought to be done ought to be done,即这是一个伪装的同一命题,或一个truism。[Fowler, 1926]
