Question

explanation n.解释；说明 (1) 我对堂上直话直说,从头到尾解释了一番。(2) 他说了什么来解释他那愚蠢的行为？(3) 他的健康不佳可能有心理上的原因。(4) 这并不足以说明问题。(5) 他说的总是令人难以相信。 Explanation is from the same Latin word as explain: explanare, which means make clear. Because explanation and explain are so closely related, people often try to shoehorn an extra i into the spelling of explanation. Don't. You might think that explanation has the odd spelling, but it is really the more regular of the two because there is no i in explanare.
