substantiate vt.证实；实体化 (1) 目击证人能够证实所有的证词。(2) 尽管如此，这种联系还有赖更多研究来佐证。(3) 实际经验通常都不能使这些看法具体化。 Substantiate is related to the word substantial, which means "solid." So, to substantiate a claim is to make it solid or believable. If the evidence given in support of an argument is weak and unconvincing, that evidence can be described as insubstantial. Of course, in special cases like the Tooth Fairy, having substantial evidence doesn’t seem to matter; fans just keep on believing.
