释义

To check or examine if something (such as a disease, quality, or presence of something) exists or is true.

用法与细微差别

Commonly used in medical, scientific, and technical contexts, as in 'test for a disease' or 'test for quality.' Usually followed by the thing being detected, often with a noun. Not the same as 'test' alone (which means 'try' or 'examine' more generally). Can also be used figuratively.
