(证据、论证或结果)决定性的;确凿的;终结性的,足以结束争论或疑问。(常见搭配:conclusive evidence/proof/results)
/kənˈkluːsɪv/
The test results are conclusive.
检测结果是确凿的。
Although the witness sounded confident, the judge said the testimony was not conclusive enough to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
尽管证人听起来很自信,法官仍表示该证词不足以构成决定性证据,无法在“排除合理怀疑”的标准下证明有罪。
来自拉丁语 concludere(“结束、下结论”),由 con-(“一起、完全”)+ cludere(“关闭”)构成;conclusive 表示“能把问题‘关上’、使结论成立”的,即“终结争论、定案”的意思。
