突破英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)：“造謠”和“辟謠”英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)？

1. 造謠
謠言：rumor /'r?m?/
但“造謠”可不是make a rumor！
make只能表達(dá) “編造出謠言”，想表達(dá) “編造并傳播” 謠言，地道的說(shuō)法是 “start a rumor”。
I see Adam's hand in this , It would be just like him to start such a rumor .
我看得出來(lái)亞當(dāng)在背后搞鬼，散布這種謠言很像他的作風(fēng)。
Who started the rumor that I’m pregnant?
誰(shuí)造的謠說(shuō)我懷孕了？
He started the rumor to embarrass me.
他造謠就是為了讓我難堪。
 
此外，造謠還可以用：cook up a story來(lái)表示↓↓↓
cook up =虛構(gòu)，偽造。
"Tell me why you were late getting to school, and don't cook up a story that I won't believe, " Matthew's mother said.
“告訴我為什么上學(xué)遲到了，別編造，我不會(huì)相信的。”馬休的媽媽說(shuō)。
 
2. 辟謠
英文中，用refute the rumor來(lái)表示“辟謠”。
Why didn't he refute the rumor？
他為啥不辟謠？
She finally came up and refuted the rumors about her family.
她最終還是站出來(lái)辟謠了關(guān)于她家庭的謠言。
 
那么，“微博辟謠”，又應(yīng)該怎么表達(dá)呢？
請(qǐng)看一段英文報(bào)道↓↓↓
Sina said it has created a separate channel dubbed “Weibo Refutes Rumors” to spread denials of false information. It announced an email address for users to send reports of possible falsehoods.
新浪網(wǎng)表示已創(chuàng)建單獨(dú)的“微博辟謠”頻道，告知用戶哪些是虛假信息。新浪還專設(shè)了舉報(bào)郵箱，供用戶舉報(bào)疑似虛假消息。
文中的Weibo Refutes Rumors就是指“微博辟謠”，也可以稱為rumor refutal。
謠言散布群體常稱為rumor mill（謠言工廠，流言簿）。
Rumor可以直接作動(dòng)詞，如：
It is rumored that she has committed suicide.
據(jù)傳聞，她已自殺身亡。
