例句：His claims were borne out by the facts/data/evidence.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
“bear out”是个常见的动词短语，意思是“支持”“证实某人的说法”。在许多语境中我们可以用 bear out 替换 support/confirm/substantiate/corroborate 等词，是在写作和口语中都用得到的表达。我们通过几个例句掌握它的用法。
我们常用“言之凿凿”形容一个人说话有真凭实据，这时就可以用 bear out 表示：
His claims were borne out by the facts/data/evidence.
当我们想表达所预测、担忧的事情最终还是发生了，也可以用到 bear out。比如华为老总任正非在接受访谈时说早在 8 年前他就料到了今天：
Ren Zhengfei’s predication that Huawei would be banned by the U.S. has been borne out.
最后我们看几个《经济学人》中的例句：
1) The belief that people increasingly flit from job to job is also not borne out by fact.
2) Money might be thought to be at the root of the problem, but the facts do not bear out this view.
3) Voters' frustration is borne out at the polls: turnout for presidential elections has fallen at every vote since 2004.
4) His analysis implied that those in wealthy families would divorce at lower rates, a prediction borne out by data.
