一、詳細(xì)釋義：


v.

斷言；聲稱 [T]


例句：

Nowdays only the most superficial mind would assert that man is a reasonable creature.

如今只有最簡(jiǎn)單的頭腦才會(huì)斷言人是有理智的動(dòng)物。


例句：

I assert his deposition to be true.

我斷言他的證詞是真的。


維護(hù)；堅(jiān)持；主張擁有 [T]


例句：

The boss asserted his authority by punishing his employees.

老板靠懲罰雇員來(lái)維護(hù)自己的權(quán)威。


例句：

You must assert yourself or they will continue to bully you.

你必須維護(hù)自己的權(quán)利，否則他們還會(huì)欺負(fù)你。


顯示；確立 [T]


例句：

But the spirit has stirred and the nation has begun to assert itself.

但是精神已經(jīng)振奮，這個(gè)民族已開(kāi)始顯示自己。


例句：

Why don't you assert yourself more?

你為何不更多地顯示自己呢？


二、詞義辨析：


assert,affirm,allege,maintain,testify,claim

這些動(dòng)詞均含有“斷言，聲稱”之意。 assert主觀意味強(qiáng)，指自認(rèn)為某事就是如此，而不管事實(shí)如何。 affirm側(cè)重在作出斷言時(shí)表現(xiàn)出的堅(jiān)定與不可動(dòng)搖的態(tài)度。 allege多指無(wú)真憑實(shí)據(jù)，不提供證據(jù)的斷言或宣稱。 maintain與assert近義，但前者指堅(jiān)決維護(hù)某種主張或觀點(diǎn)。 testify多指在法庭作證，莊嚴(yán)地宣稱自己所說(shuō)屬實(shí)。 claim可與assert換用，但語(yǔ)氣弱一些，側(cè)重指行為自己的權(quán)利提出要求他人承認(rèn)。


三、相關(guān)短語(yǔ)：

堅(jiān)決要求或維護(hù)自己的權(quán)利
