正しい言い方

• 在建立理论模型时，研究者通常需要明确列出所有核心假定条件，并在结论部分说明这些假定对研究结论的适用范围所产生的限制与影响。(When constructing theoretical models, researchers typically need to explicitly enumerate all core assumptions, and in the conclusions section explain the restrictions and effects these assumptions impose on the scope of applicability of the research findings.)
• 假定该政策得以全面落实，据此进行的初步测算显示，在未来五年内，相关行业的能源消耗总量可降低约百分之二十。(Assuming this policy is fully implemented, preliminary calculations on that basis indicate that the total energy consumption of the relevant industries could be reduced by approximately twenty per cent over the next five years.)

避ける言い方

• 假定 vs 假设 — 假定 often treats the premise as already granted without proof; 假设 implies a hypothesis or conjecture that may be tested or verified. In scientific contexts, use 假设 for testable hypotheses; use 假定 for given premises in logical deductions
