Usage Note :

Do not confuse imply and infer. If you imply that something is the case, you suggest that it is the case without actually saying so. Rose's barrister implied that he had married her for her money. If you infer that something is the case, you decide that it must be the case because of what you know, but without actually being told. From this simple statement I could infer a lot about his wife. Note that some English speakers use infer with the same meaning as imply, but this is considered incorrect by careful speakers.

不要混淆 imply 和 infer。imply 指不加以明说, 但通过暗示表明某事为事实：Rose's barrister implied that he had married her for her money (罗丝的律师暗示他当初娶她是为了她的钱财)。infer 表示在没有被明确告知的情况下, 根据已知信息推断某事是事实：From this simple statement I could infer a lot about his wife (从这一简单的陈述中我能推断出关于他妻子的很多情况)。注意：某些英语使用者把 infer 与 imply 等同使用, 但讲究字句的英语使用者认为这种用法不妥。
