Accusation Meaning in English
word
释义
A statement that someone has done something wrong or illegal, often without proof yet. It is when a person is blamed for something, especially a crime or mistake.
用法与细微差别
Often used in legal or formal contexts. Common collocations: 'false accusation', 'deny an accusation', 'face an accusation'. Not the same as 'allegation' (which is a claim without proof, often used in legal cases). 'Accusation' implies strong blame.
