v.(动词)

1. affirm的基本意思是根据事实、本人经历或对某事的确信而作出肯定的陈述,即“断言”。
2. affirm作“断言; 证实”解时多用作及物动词,不用于进行时态,可直接接宾语,但多数情况下接that/wh-从句。affirm还可接“to be n./adj. ”充当宾语补足语。
3. affirm偶尔也可用作不及物动词,接介词to引起的短语表示证实的内容。

v.(动词)

affirm, allege, 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

这些动词均含有“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。
