Some people object to this usage but it is now widely accepted in standard English, and used especially in journalism. * refute本義爲“證明某種說法或理論錯誤”,但在現代用法中常作deny的同義詞,表示否認而不是反證。有人反對這種用法,但它在標準英語中已得到廣泛接受,尤用於新聞報道。 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公開否認(知情);拒絕承認(負有責任)◆The rebels disclaimed all responsibility for the explosion.叛亂分子否認對這次爆炸事件負有任何責任。
