Hey. I`m Carl Azuz for CNN STUDENT NEWS.
大家好,我是卡爾·阿祖茲,為您播報CNN學生新聞。
We`re starting today with an issue for millions of people, especially through social media. The wildfire spread of fake news. These are stories you read about that appeared to be factual but in fact have no basis in fact at all.
我們今天首要談論的話題和數(shù)百萬人相關,尤其是通過社交渠道。虛假新聞的大肆蔓延,你讀到的一些故事看似真實,但是實際上毫無根據(jù)可言。
For example, before the U.S. presidential election, a number of false stories circulated online. What appeared to show Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton about to receive thousands of fraudulent ballots in her favor. One appeared to show a quote from 1998 in which Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump trashed the very people who`d become his own voters.
例如,在美國總統(tǒng)選舉之前,網(wǎng)上流傳很多虛假報道。這些報道似乎表明民主黨候選人希拉里·克林頓刻意制造上萬張?zhí)摷龠x票。還有報道表明,唐納德·特朗普拋棄自己的選民。
To be clear, neither of these stories was true. But they still went viral. Experts say making sure a story is from a reliable news source, watching out for headlines that don`t match article itself and avoiding sharing information from a single site you`ve never heard of can help curb a growing problem.
需要澄清的是,這些故事都是假的。但是他們仍然再繼續(xù)蔓延。專家表示,小心新聞標題黨:新聞的內容和新聞的標題并不相符,不要從單一網(wǎng)站分享這類信息,可幫助抑制這種日漸囂張的問題。
