同近义词辨析
definite, certain, positive, sure这组词都有“无疑的，确信的”的意思，其区别是：
definite指已毫无怀疑的余地。
certain与sure同义，但语气比sure强，着重指有确切理由或不容置疑的证据所支持的确信。
positive语气强烈，指对自己的看法或作的结论的正确性有不可动摇的信念。
sure侧重主观上对某事确信无疑。

certain
certain: [13] Certain comes ultimately from Latin certus ‘sure, fixed’, which derived from the past participle of the verb cernere ‘decide’. The Latin adjective was extended in Vulgar Latin to *certānus, which passed into English via Old French certain. Other English words based on certus include certify [14] (from late Latin certificāre) and its derivative certificate, and certitude [15] (from late Latin certitūdō).=> crime, crisis, decree, discern, discrete, discriminate, excrement, riddle, secret
certain (adj.)
c. 1300, "determined, fixed," from Old French certain "reliable, sure, assured" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *certanus, from Latin certus "sure, fixed, settled, determined" (also source of Italian certo, Spanish cierto), originally a variant past participle of cernere "to distinguish, decide," literally "to sift, separate" (see crisis). Of persons, "full of confidence in one's knowledge or judgment," from mid-14c. Euphemistic use (of a certain age, etc.) attested from mid-18c. Certainer, certainest were common to c. 1750, but have fallen from proper use for some reason. Expression for certain "assuredly" is attested by early 14c.
