Finding is the most formal and is usually used in the phrase a finding of negligence/murder/unfair dismissal, etc., when a court has decided the nature of a crime or offence that has been committed; finding is much more frequent in its non-legal sense of research findings. Judgment and ruling are more general words, used especially to talk about decisions made when a complaint or dispute has been taken to court for a decision. Judgment emphasizes that the decision is made by a court, whether by a judge or jury; ruling emphasizes that the decision is made by a person in authority, often (but not always) a judge, but not by a jury.这些词均可指法庭作出的裁决。finding最正式,用于法院已经确定所犯罪行或违法行为的性质,通常用于短语a finding of negligence/murder/unfair dismissal(过失/谋杀/无理解雇的裁决)等;finding更常用于非法律用语中,如research findings。judgment和ruling含义更广,尤指投诉或纠纷提交法庭后所得的裁定。judgment强调决定是由法庭作出,不管是法官或陪审团;ruling强调决定是有职权的人作出的,常为(但不总是)法官,而非由陪审团作出◆The judgment of the jury cannot be overturned.陪审团的裁决不可推翻。◆the ruling of the juryA verdict is the decision made by a jury in criminal cases about whether the person accused of the crime is guilty or not guilty. Verdict is also used to talk about the decision of a coroner at an inquest(= an official investigation to find out the cause of sb's death). * verdict是陪审团对刑事案件中被指控犯罪的人是否有罪的判决,亦指验尸官的验尸结果。■inference ˈɪnfərəns [countable, uncountable] something that you can find out indirectly from what you already know; the act or process of forming an opinion based on what you already know推断的结果;结论;推断;推理◆What inferences can we draw from this data?我们从这个数据中能推断出什么?◆If he is guilty then, by inference, so is his partner(= it is logical to think so, from the same evidence).如果他有罪,那么由此可以推断他的合伙人也同样有罪。■deduction dɪˈdʌkʃn [uncountable, countable] the process of using the information that you have in order to understand a particular situation or to find the answer to a problem演绎;推论;推理◆He arrived at the solution by a simple process of deduction.他通过一番简单的推理得出了解决问题的方法。◆If my deductions are correct, I can tell you who the murderer is.如果我的推论正确,我可以告诉你谁是凶手。NOTE辨析 Inference or deduction?An inference is slightly more uncertain than a deduction: it is sth that is probably true, given what you already know. A deduction is sth that, logically, has to be true, if the facts you have are correct. Making an inference is usually more complicated than making a deduction. * inference的确定性比deduction略低,指由已知情况推断某事可能为真。deduction指如果掌握的事实无误的话,从逻辑上推断某事必然如此。inference的推理过程通常比deduction更复杂◆He arrived at the solution by a simple process of inference.
