- 1/ˌdʒʌstɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/正當理由、辯解（說明某件事為何合理或必要）
正式A justification is a good reason that makes an action, a decision, or a belief seem right or acceptable — especially when someone might question it. If you give a justification, you are explaining why something was fair or necessary, not just describing what happened.
