文法句型

authenticity of [noun]

用法筆記

Almost always uncountable and frequently appears in the fixed pattern 'the authenticity of [something]'. The 'something' is usually an object whose origin can be tested — for example a painting actually being painted by Van Gogh, or a coin coming from a known mint — or a quality that can be felt, such as a person's emotions actually being experienced rather than performed.
