- 1反駁、駁斥
To show, with facts or good reasons, that something someone said is wrong or not true. People use this word when they are arguing against a claim, an accusation, or an idea — for example, a scientist refuting a theory, or someone refuting an accusation made against them. It is a fairly formal word; you see it a lot in news, debates, and academic writing, less in casual chat.
