imagination is usually a more approving term than fantasy. having a vivid imagination is often thought to be a good thing as it enables people to enjoy themselves and to sympathize more with other people by imagining what it is like to be them. fantasy is usually used to contrast imagined things with the real world, often in a negative way, suggesting that sb is unwilling or unable to face reality. * imagination 含义通常比 fantasy 更正面。拥有 vivid imagination （丰富的想像力）常被视为好事，因为它能使人得到乐趣，也能使人对他人的处境感同身受。fantasy 通常用以对比虚构的事物与真实的世界，这种对比常常带有贬义，暗示怀抱幻想者不愿或无法面对现实。■ make-believe [uncountable] (sometimes disapproving) imagining or pretending that things are different or more exciting than they really are; imagining that sth is real, or that you are sb else, for example in a child's game虚构；想像；（儿童游戏等中的）假扮，假装◆they live in a world of make-believe.他们生活在虚幻的世界里。◆'let's play make-believe,' said sam.萨姆说：“咱们来玩过家家吧。”imagination [uncountable, countable] the ability to create pictures in your mind; the part of your mind that does this; something that you have imagined rather than sth that exists想像力；想像；想像的事物；幻想物◆he's got no imagination.他缺乏想像力。◆it doesn't take much imagination to guess what happened next.不难猜出接下来发生了什么事。◆she has a vivid imagination.她想像力丰富。◆i won't tell you his reaction－i'll leave that to your imagination.我就不告诉你他的反应了，你自己去想好了。◆nobody hates you－it's all in your imagination.没人讨厌你，都是你在胡思乱想。◆is it my imagination or have you lost a lot of weight?究竟是我有错觉，还是你确实瘦了很多？ ➡ see also imaginative → creative imagination [uncountable] the ability to have exciting new ideas创造力；创作力◆his writing lacks imagination.他的文章缺乏想像。◆with a little imagination you can create a delicious meal from yesterday's leftovers.稍微动点脑筋，就能用前一天的剩菜剩饭做出一顿美味佳肴。 ➡ see also imaginative → creative imagination/ɪˌmædʒɪˈneɪʃn ||; ɪˌmædʒəˈneʃən/noun1.
