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。 发音释义：ə'fɝm vt. 肯定；断言vi. 确认；断言
