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 6語 ／ わるい意味 7語 ／ 中立 3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。
6 positive, 7 negative, 3 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.

| credulity n | − | ●● | a readiness to believe anything — 信じやすさingenuous は裏表のない良い意味、credulity は何でも信じてしまう弱さです。ingenuous is openness that counts in your favour; credulity is the weakness of believing whatever you are told. |

| speculative adj | 0 | ● | based on guesswork rather than fact — 推測に基づくdubious は疑わしいという否定、speculative は証拠がまだ推測段階というだけです。dubious says a claim looks doubtful; speculative only says the evidence is not in yet, so a speculative claim may still turn out to be true. |
| spurious adj | − | ●●● | false but built to look convincing — もっともらしい偽物apocryphal は真偽が怪しい話、spurious は本物らしく見せた意図的な偽物です。apocryphal is a story that gets repeated and probably is not true; spurious is a fake someone built to pass as genuine. |
