一、詳細(xì)釋義：


v.

斷言，宣稱 [T]


例句：

Police allege that he was murdered.

警方聲稱他是被人謀殺的。


例句：

He alleged illness as a reason for not going to work.

他宣稱有病，作為不去上班的理由。


提出 [T]


例句：

例句：

They also alleged that the decrease in recycling would cause an increase in mining and logging in the region.

他們還提出，回收的減少將導(dǎo)致該地區(qū)開礦和伐木量的增加。


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)地宣稱自己所說屬實(shí)。 claim可與assert換用，但語氣弱一些，側(cè)重指行為自己的權(quán)利提出要求他人承認(rèn)。
