- 1聲名狼藉、名譽掃地（多說「陷入～／使陷入～」）
Disrepute is the state of having lost people’s admiration or trust. You almost always meet it in set patterns: fall into disrepute, bring something into disrepute (a school, a profession, a law). The thing that falls is often an idea, a method, or an institution, not only a person. It is a formal noun; in everyday English people say a bad name or nobody trusts it any more. Though actually, disrepute is about standing in other people’s eyes — the public story — more than about one private grudge.
