affirm的用法

请问allege,affirm,confirm这三个单词的用法区别
allege
affirm
confirm
用法?

allege, “宣称,断定”,指在无真实凭据情况下宣称。

如:A newspaper article alleged that the cabinet was going to resign.一家报纸宣称内阁即将辞职。

affirm :“断言,肯定”,指根据事实坚信不移地宣称,而且有可靠证据,任何时候都不动摇。

如: I affirm I can like it,我肯定我会喜欢它。

confirm指以事实或不容置疑的陈述来证实某事的真实性、准确性、正确性以及有效程度。

如:The treaty was confirmed by the president.条约已被总统批准。

一、详细释义:

affirm 

v.断言,肯定,申明,坚持声称 

例句:I can affirm that he is tenacious and pertinacious as are few

我可以肯定,像他那样不屈不挠、百折不回的人是十分罕见的。

二、词义辨析:

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,侧重指行为自己的权利提出要求他人承认。

三、参考例句:

Please affirm with Mr. Li again about the deadline.请与李先生再次确认截止时间。

I affirm that what he said is true.我断言他所说的是实情。

Everything I had accomplished seemed to affirm that opinion.我所取得的一切似乎都证明那个观点是对的。
