Imagine a future situation
To think about the future and see a clear picture of how something could be.
用法パターン：
[someone] envisions [something] (happening)
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "envision" without a clear object, saying things like "I envision" and stopping there. In most cases, English needs you to say what you envision (e.g. "I envision a better job" or "I envision working abroad"). Learners may also confuse "envision" with "plan"; "envision" is about imagining a future situation, while "plan" usually includes deciding specific steps.
類義語
imagine (The most general word; does not always suggest planning or a clear goal the way "envision" often does.)
|
foresee (Focuses more on prediction of what will actually happen, while "envision" is often about what you want or hope will happen.)
|
picture (More informal and visual; "envision" sounds slightly more formal and is common in planning or business contexts.)
対義語
dismiss (To refuse to think about something as a real possibility, which is the opposite of actively picturing it as a future situation.)

Form a mental image
To see something in your mind, not with your eyes, when you hear or think about it.
用法パターン：
[someone] envisions [something] in their mind
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes think "envision" is only about the future. In this sense, it can also be used for things in the present or past that you cannot see but can picture in your mind. Another mistake is to say "envision about" (e.g. "I envision about my goals"); in English, you usually say "envision something" without "about".
類義語
visualize (Very close in meaning; often used when you imagine something in a detailed, picture-like way, especially in sport or self-help contexts.)
|
picture (Slightly more informal; strongly emphasizes the visual image in the mind, similar to looking at a photograph.)
|
imagine (Broader and more common; can refer to thoughts and feelings, not only to clear mental images.)
対義語
see (To perceive something with your eyes in real life, which contrasts with only forming an image in your mind without actually seeing it.)
