- 1入罪；使人顯得有罪
To incriminate someone is to make them look guilty of a crime — not necessarily to prove it in court, but to point that way with facts, words, or things left behind. A letter, a , or a careless sentence can incriminate you. People also incriminate themselves: they say too much and make their own situation worse. Though actually, it is a legal, word. At the dinner table, people say “that makes him look guilty” or “don’t say anything that will get you in trouble.” It does not mean the person has already been found guilty; it means the evidence leans that way.
