喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/dɪsˈɑːnəsti/ · /dɪsˈɒnəsti/不誠實；欺騙的行為

    Behaviour in which you lie to people, trick them, or cheat them so that you get something you should not get.

    示範例句 · Example

    Our school has clear rules about dishonesty in exams.

    逐字我們學校對考試中的不誠實有清楚的規定。

    「dishonesty」講的是「騙人、作弊這一類的行為」，不是某一句謊話。說一次謊是 a lie，而 dishonesty 是整個「不老實」的做法：騙人、作弊、把假的說成真的。它是不可數名詞，所以不說 a dishonesty，要講一次的話用 an act of dishonesty。這個字可以想成是 honesty（誠實）前面裝上 dis-（相反）：honest → honesty，dis- 一開，意思就翻到另一邊，就像 like／dislike、appear／disappear 一樣。

core核心畫面

Getting something by putting a false picture in someone's head — a lie, a trick, a hidden card — so they hand over what they would not have handed over if they could see clearly.

兩個人之間本來該是透明的，而其中一個把玻璃換成了鏡子。你讓對方看到一個不真實的版本——說了假話、動了手腳、藏了一張牌——然後從這個誤會裡拿到你原本拿不到的東西。重點不只是「說謊」這個動作，而是那條路徑：靠著讓別人看不清楚而得手。所以這個字通常帶著一個受害者，一個在錯誤資訊下做決定的人。
