A misquotation is a quote that is not quite what the person said — a word is wrong, a bit is left out, or something is added. This is the noun.

A misquotation一個misquotation（錯誤引述） is a quote是一句引述 that is not quite what the person said跟那個人實際講的不完全一樣——a word一個字 is wrong錯了，a bit一部分 is left out被漏掉了，or或 something有東西 is added被加進去了。This這 is the noun是名詞形式。

Journalists, teachers, and people in court care about it, because a wrong quote can change the meaning. It is more formal than the everyday verb misquote.

Journalists, teachers, and people in court記者、老師，還有法庭上的人 care about it很在意這件事，because因為 a wrong quote一句錯的引述 can change the meaning可能會改變意思。It它 is more formal比較正式 than the everyday verb misquote勝過日常的動詞misquote。

Though actually, people also cry misquotation when the words are right but the setting is cut away, so the line sounds harsher or kinder than it was. That stretches the tidy meaning, but it is how the fight often goes.

Though actually不過事實上，people有些人 also cry misquotation也會在 when the words are right但話本身沒錯 but the setting is cut away而背景脈絡被切掉的時候喊misquotation，so這樣 the line那句話 sounds harsher or kinder than it was聽起來比原本更刺耳或更溫和。That這 stretches the tidy meaning把整齊的定義延伸了，but但 it is how the fight often goes爭論常常就是這樣進行的。

An honest mistype and a careful twist can both produce a misquotation; the word itself does not tell you which.

An honest mistype一個老實的打字錯誤 and和 a careful twist一個刻意的扭曲 can both produce都可能造成 a misquotation一個misquotation；the word itself這個字本身 does not tell you which並不會告訴你是哪一種。
