📖 基本释义

[动词] 声称或证明(证据或指控)是虚假的
💡 深入解读
Rebut 这个单词比较好记,可以简单拆分成 re + but 。该词源自古法语reboter/rebuter(猛力推回),14世纪进入英语后原本是指“击退、制止”,不过这个含义现已不再流行,转而从武力上击退衍生出语言上的击退。即到了19世纪初期后, rebut 发展出现在的主要含义指“反驳、驳斥、驳回”,也就是给出理由证明证据、指控、批评等是虚假的、错误的或不可接受的。与十分近义的 refute (驳斥、批驳、反驳)略有不同的是, rebut 更加正式,常在有组织的辩论或法庭(见下面的影视用例)中使用,
比如:
He spent most of his speech rebutting criticisms of his foreign policy. But his main argument doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.他讲演的大部分时间都在反驳对他外交政策的批评。但他的主要论点经不起认真推敲。
His former colleagues have denounced him as a spy. Now he is conducting a point-by-point rebuttal of charges from former colleagues.而从 rebut 衍生出的 rebuttal 则是作名词表示“反驳、驳斥、驳回”,比如:他以前的同事们告发他是间谍。现在他正在对前同事的指责进行逐条反驳。
