"theories about the extinction of dinosaurs are still highly conjectural"
"the supposed reason for his absence"
"suppositious reconstructions of dead languages"

1.(基于)假设的;假定的
If something ishypothetical, it is based on possible ideas or situations rather than actual ones.
e.g. Let's look at ahypothetical situation in which Carol, a recovering cocaine addict, gets invited to a party.
让我们假设这样一种情景,卡萝尔,一位正在康复的可卡因成瘾者,应邀去参加一个聚会。
e.g. ...a purelyhypothetical question.
纯属假设的问题
1. 假设的:逆向演绎方法的内容是从结果回头找原因,并以经验法则还有心理学及性格学的定律查核这项假设的(hypothetical)定律. 实作上涉及孔德提出的社会静力学和社会动力学:静力学,也就是Mill所谓的社会状态或和谐(consensus)状态,
2. 假说的:甚至对康德而言,实践的、假说的(hypothetical)推理也在实践的事务中运用. 在尽最大的可能寻求自利的快乐时,行为者就是在满足其理性的形象. 先秦儒、道哲学家重视一种非系统性的美学模式的人,通过创造性的行动,尤其是礼仪,去造就人.
