1. 1顯露;流露出(偏書面)

    To evince a feeling or a quality is to show it so clearly that other people can notice it — you do not have to announce it; it comes through in your face, your letter, or the way you act. A smile can evince relief; a report can evince care.

    To evince a feeling or a quality要evince一種感覺或特質,is to show it so clearly就是把它表現得很清楚,that other people can notice it讓別人能夠注意到;you do not have to announce it你不用特別說出來,it comes through它會自然流露 in your face, your letter, or the way you act在你的表情、你的信件,或是你的行為方式裡。A smile can evince relief一個微笑可以evince出鬆一口氣的感覺;a report can evince care一份報告可以evince出用心。

    It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb, much more at home in writing than in speech. Everyday English almost always prefers show, reveal, or display.

    It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb這是一個正式、有點老派的動詞,much more at home in writing比較常出現在寫作裡,than in speech而不是口語裡。Everyday English日常英文 almost always prefers幾乎都比較愛用 show, reveal, or display show、reveal,或 display。

    Though actually, the Latin behind it meant something closer to “conquer completely / prove exhaustively,” so a faint “this proves it by showing it” flavour is still in the word. It is a of : same Latin , quite different meaning now.

    Though actually不過事實上,the Latin behind it它背後的拉丁文 meant something closer to "conquer completely / prove exhaustively,"意思比較接近「完全征服/徹底證明」,so a faint "this proves it by showing it" flavour所以還帶著一點「用顯示出來證明」的味道 is still in the word留在這個字裡。It is a doublet of evict它跟 evict 是一對同源詞,same Latin ancestor拉丁文祖先相同,quite different meaning now但現在意思完全不一樣。

    Nobody “evinces” a tenant from a flat.

    Nobody "evinces"沒有人會用「evince」這個字 a tenant來說趕房客 from a flat離開公寓。
