    逐字盒子上的圖片是誤導的——那個玩具比它看起來小很多。

    misleading 說的是「會把人帶到錯的想法去」的東西——照片、標題、數字、說法都可以是 misleading。最重要的一點：misleading 不等於說謊。一句話可能每個字都是真的，卻因為只講一半，讓聽的人得到錯的印象，這時候就用 misleading。可以想成 mis-（弄錯）加上 lead（帶路）：就像有人幫你指路，指的方向卻是錯的。

core核心畫面

Something that leads you down the wrong path without ever telling you a lie — it shows you real facts, just not all of them, and the picture you build from what you were shown points the wrong way.

可以想成有人替你指路，指的方向是錯的，但他沒有說謊。misleading 的東西不必造假：它給你看的每一項都可能是真的，只是把關鍵的那幾項留在畫面外，於是你自己拼出來的結論就歪了。所以廣告寫「九成使用者滿意」而不提受訪的只有十個人，這句話沒有一個字是假的，卻是 misleading——重點不在說了什麼假話，而在你被帶到了錯的地方。
