Something that is deceptive usually gives a false impression without meaning to: by far the most common collocate of deceptive is appearances. However, deceptive is sometimes used to talk about deliberate deceptions in more formal contexts. * misleading尤表示故意误导,但并未真的撒谎。deceptive通常表示无意中使人产生错觉。deceptive最常见的搭配词是appearances。不过,在较正式的语境中,deceptive有时用以描述有意的欺骗行为。■spuriousˈspjʊəriəs; NAmEˈspjʊriəs (ratherformal) seeming right or true but actually wrong or false; based on false ideas or ways of thinking虚假的;建立在错误观念(或思想方法)之上的;谬误的◆He had managed to create the entirely spurious impression that the company was thriving.他设法制造出彻头彻尾的假象,让人误以为公司一派兴旺。ⓘ Typical collocates of spurious are argument, claim, grounds, impression and logic. * spurious的常见搭配词有argument、claim、grounds、impression和logic。
