Question

allegedly adv.依其申述；据传 (1) 依其申述，六千四百万人死亡。(2) 据说，第二次事件发生在1992年的春天。 Allegedly is used almost entirely in a legal sense, referring to a potentially criminal action that is being or will shortly be decided in court. (It's from the medieval English word allege, meaning "quoted" or "brought forth in court.") For less serious matters, such as whether or not your boyfriend called you a liar, the word supposedly is generally used. Though watch out, because if you take him to court, you will become "allegedly a liar."
