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。
claim ,allege:to state sth.is true,even though it has not been proved,and may not be true(无充分证据的)宣称,断言
