💡 深入解读

Hoax 是一个与小站前几天推送的coax有着相同结尾的单词,可以一并联想记忆。该词含义比较简单,作名词表示“骗局、恶作剧”,主要指一种滑稽或恶意的欺骗,常旨在使人相信或接受某个虚假且往往荒谬的事物,尤其是一种令人不快的事物,

比如:

play a hoax on sb戏弄某人

炸弹假警报

a bomb hoax

恶作剧电话

hoax calls

Even the pundits were hoaxed.用作动词时, hoax 相应表示“捉弄、戏弄、欺骗”或者说“对……搞恶作剧”,既可能含有将恶作剧视为一项趣味活动并沉迷于其中的意味,也可以暗示在向一个或多个人展示巧妙的骗局或捏造时有多么容易使其上当受骗,但更多的是用来强调一种为了谋取自己或个人利益的欺骗行为,巧妙到甚至可以骗到那些最持怀疑态度的人,比如:就连专家们也被愚弄了。

If it is a hoax, you just turn around and leave.影视用例查看视频请点击:阅读原文
