avow

avow

avow是英語中的及物動詞,發音為/əˈvaʊ/,核心詞義為“承認;公開宣稱;坦率承認”,通常用於正式語境中明確表態或坦白事實,其後直接接賓語(V-T結構)。該詞常見於法律檔案、政策聲明及學術討論等場景,例如在法律程式中表示“二審開庭審理”(avow the second judgment)。

其語義演變始終圍繞“公開承認”的核心概念,源自拉丁語advocāre(呼籲),強調主體主動且不迴避的立場表達。作為托福、雅思考試的高頻辭彙,其詞形變化包含過去式avowed、現在分詞avowing等衍生形式。在具體套用中,既可描述個人對事實的坦率承認(如被迫承認受賄行為),也可用於機構公開聲明宗旨(如醫療機構的公開使命),搭配對象涵蓋觀點、事實及身份等多類賓語。反義詞為disavow(否認),常見近義詞包括declare、affirm等。
