Some people object to this usage but it is now widely accepted in standard English, and used especially in journalism. * refute本义为“证明某种说法或理论错误”，但在现代用法中常作deny的同义词，表示否认而不是反证。有人反对这种用法，但它在标准英语中已得到广泛接受，尤用于新闻报道。 see also refute ⇨ disprove ■ disclaim [transitive] (formal) to state publicly that you have no knowledge of sth, or that you are not responsible for sth 公开否认（知情）；拒绝承认（负有责任）◆The rebels disclaimed all responsibility for the explosion.叛乱分子否认对这次爆炸事件负有任何责任。 |
