1. 1aC1/əˈledʒd/據稱的 / 被指控的

    正式Said by someone to be true or to have happened, but not yet proved.

    示範例句 · Example

    The newspaper wrote about an alleged plan to close the old town library.

    逐字報紙報導了一項據稱要關閉舊城鎮圖書館的計畫。

    「alleged」用在「有人這麼說、但還沒被證實」的事情上,最常出現在新聞和法律裡,例如 the alleged crime(據稱發生的犯罪)。用這個字是為了保持中立——事情還沒被證明,所以先加 alleged,避免把還沒定罪的人直接講成罪犯。它只放在名詞前面(an alleged thief),不會說 the thief is alleged。

    常見搭配

core核心畫面

Picture a word held at arm's length. Someone has said a thing happened; the speaker repeats it but does not stand behind it, because nothing has been proved yet. Alleged can be thought of as a small label pinned onto a noun that means "this is what is being said, and I am not the one saying it is true" — which is exactly why newspapers put it in front of crimes before a court has decided anything.

可以想成把一句話拿在手臂長度外。有人說某件事發生了,說話的人把它轉述出來,卻不替它背書,因為還沒有被證實。alleged 就像是別在名詞前面的一張小標籤,寫著「這是有人這樣講的,不是我在說它是真的」——這也正是為什麼法院還沒判之前,新聞裡的犯罪前面幾乎都會掛上這個字。
