Bruce 提出的這個問題大概就是因為 imply, suggest and hint 這三個詞都含有「暗示」的意思。從這個意思上來說它們是同義詞,但是仔細品味一下它們在不同語境中的作用,意思和用法也就不完全一樣了。

比如下面三句話裏應該填寫哪個詞?

The money went missing, he _________ that I stole it.

My doctor _________ that I should not eat too much sugar.

She _________ that she might prefer our company to theirs.
