vt.斷言；宣稱

The newspapers allege that the police shot the suspect without warning. 報(bào)紙指稱說警察未經(jīng)示警就槍殺那位嫌疑犯。

So they alleged, but have they any proof? 他們是這樣宣稱的，但他們有證據(jù)嗎？

The police alleged that the man was murdered but they have given no proof. 警方聲稱這男子是被謀殺的，但未提出任何證據(jù)。

In your statement you allege that the accused man was seen at the scene of the crime . 在你的口供中，你供述曾經(jīng)看到被告在犯罪現(xiàn)場。

allege的基本意思是指言之確鑿,卻未必可信。常含有借口的意思。

allege用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),其賓語可以是名詞,也可以是that引導(dǎo)的從句,可用于被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。allege偶爾也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞。
