このテーマの全語です。定義を隠して、 よい意味・わるい意味・中立の三つに分けてみるのが、いちばん効く使い方です。 分け間違えた語が、そのまま自分の弱点になります。
Every word in this theme. The best use of it is to cover the meanings and sort the list into positive, negative and neutral. Whichever ones you put in the wrong pile are exactly your weak spots.
内訳：よい意味 12語 ／ わるい意味 6語 ／ 中立 9語。 強さはこのテーマの中での相対です—— テーマをまたいで比べる数字ではありません。
12 positive, 6 negative, 9 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.

| appraise v | 0 | ● | to judge the worth or quality of something — 査定する |
| ascertain v | 0 | ● | to find out for certain — 確かめる |
| assess v | 0 | ● | to evaluate carefully — 評価するappraise は価値や値段の査定、ascertain は事実の確認で、assess は質そのものの評価です。appraise sets what something is worth, ascertain pins down whether something is true, and assess is the careful sizing-up of a situation such as damage, risk, or a student's progress. |
| astute adj | ＋ | ●● | clever at reading situations to your advantage — 抜け目のない |
| canny adj | ＋ | ●● | shrewd and hard to fool — 用心深くて賢いastute が自分に有利に立ち回る賢さなのに対し、canny はだまされない用心深さを指します。astute is cleverness that works a situation to your own advantage; canny is the wariness that keeps you from being taken in by someone else. |

| cognizant adj | 0 | ● | aware of a fact and its weight — 認識している |
| didactic adj | 0 | ●● | intended to teach, sometimes preachily — 教訓的な教えるという中立の意味と、説教くさいという批判の両方で使われ、文脈で良し悪しが変わります。didactic can simply mean meant to teach, or it can be a complaint that the teaching has turned preachy, so let the surrounding sentence tell you which one is meant. |
| discern v | 0 | ●● | to make out something not obvious — 見分ける |
| discretion n | ＋ | ●● | good judgment about what to say and do — 分別 |
| erudite adj | ＋ | ●●● | deeply learned — 博学なerudite は蓄えた知識の量、sagacity は経験から来る判断の知恵を指します。erudite is about how much learning a person has stored up; sagacity is about the judgment that long experience has taught them. |
| fathom v | 0 | ●●● | to get to the bottom of something — 底まで理解するdiscern は見分けること、fathom は底まで理解しきることです。discern is making something out at all; fathom is following it all the way to the bottom until you understand it completely. |
| fatuous adj | − | ●●● | foolish without knowing it — 愚かで無自覚inane は中身がばかばかしいこと、fatuous は本人が愚かさに気づいていない点を責める強い語です。inane says the thing itself is silly and empty; fatuous is the harder hit, blaming the person for being foolish and not realizing it. |

| ingenious adj | ＋ | ●● | cleverly inventive — 発想が巧み |

| obtuse adj | − | ●● | slow to catch on — 理解が鈍いoblivious は単に気づいていない状態、obtuse は理解そのものが鈍いという批判です。oblivious only says someone failed to notice; obtuse attacks the mind itself as slow to take things in. |
| perspicacity n | ＋ | ●●● | sharpness in seeing what others miss — 洞察の鋭さacumen は実務で役立つ判断力、perspicacity は他人が見落とす点を見抜く鋭さです。acumen is judgment that pays off in practical dealings; perspicacity is sharpness of sight that catches what everyone else overlooks. |
