- 词义辨析
allege, affirm, assert, claim, declare
这组词都有“以某种肯定口气提出…”的意思,它们之间的区别是:
1.allege表示“声称,伪称”,常有借口的意思。例如:
He alleged illness for a reason for not going to work.他称病,以此作为不去工作的理由。
2.affirm表示“肯定,断言”,指坚信不疑因而断言。例如:
It may be safely affirmed that he is innocent.可以断言,他是无罪的。
3.assert表示“主张,断言”,指宣称某事如此,并不说它是事实,着重主观自信心。例如:
He asserts the cause of liberty.他主张自由主义。
4.claim表示“宣称”,语气比assert弱些。例如:
He claimed to be the rightful heir.他声称自己是合法继承人。
5.declare意味着因否认某事而郑重地宣称。例如:
He declared that he had not done it.他声称他没干这事。
assert,affirm,allege,maintain,testify,claim
这些动词都含有“断言,声称”之意。
assert主观意味强,指自认为某事就是如此,而不管事实如何。
affirm侧重在作出断言时表现出的坚定与不可动摇的态度。
allege多指无真凭实据,不提供证据的断言或宣称。
maintain与assert近义,但前者指坚决维护某种主张或观点。
testify多指在法庭作证,庄严地宣称自己所说属实。
claim可与assert换用,但语气弱一些,侧重指行使自己的权利提出要求令他人承认。

词源词根法
【结构分析】allege=al(=ad,去)+lege(提出)→提出(观点)→宣称=【词源解释】lege←拉丁语legare(提出、派出、指定)=【背景知识】allege原本是一个法律术语,表示还没有证据证实的陈述或断言,因此在现代英语中常表示“借口”、“无真凭实据的宣称”。
