定论

• 拼音: dìng lùn
• 汉字拆解: 定 = 宀 + 正 (to settle, finalize); 论 = 讠+ 仑 (to discuss, theory, conclusion)

含义

Definitive conclusion; established verdict. A conclusion that is considered final, settled, and not open to further debate or revision.

Most commonly appears in the negative: 尚无定论 (no definitive conclusion yet) or 难有定论 (hard to reach a final verdict). Used in academic, legal, historical, and scientific contexts to signal that a matter remains open or, conversely, has been conclusively resolved.

例句

1. 关于该事件的真实起因，学界至今尚无定论，各方仍在持续研究中。
2. 这一理论是否成立，科学界还未能形成定论，有待更多实验证据支撑。
3. 历史上许多重大事件的是非功过难有定论，只能留待后人客观评价。

正确说法

• 目前各方证据相互矛盾，此案尚无定论，法庭将继续听取更多证词。(Currently the evidence from all sides is contradictory; the case has no definitive conclusion yet, and the court will continue hearing more testimony.)
• 气候变化的长期影响在科学上已有相当定论，但具体的政策应对方式仍存在广泛争议。(The long-term effects of climate change are fairly conclusively established in science, but the specific policy responses remain widely debated.)

错误说法

• 这件事有定论了吗 is acceptable, but 下定论 requires caution — 轻易下定论 (rashly reaching a conclusion) is a common idiomatic warning; avoid saying 我已下了定论 unless you have strong authority or evidence
