每日一詞 ：Scandalmonger |美國政壇的“醜聞販子”
|
上週，聯邦調查局逮捕了特朗普前競選顧問羅傑·斯通(Roger Stone)。特別檢察官穆勒以妨礙司法進程、作偽證和騷擾證人等罪名對他進行指控。作為“通俄門”調查中的標誌性人物，斯通究竟是何許人也？
|
時報記者以斯通過往玩弄政治的經歷解答了這一問題：“斯通將販賣丑聞歸功於自己，而後又消失在犯罪現場的策略可追溯到幾十年前。”(Mr. Stone's tactics of claiming credit for scandal-mongering and then vanishing from the scene of the crime go back decades.)

Scandal-mongering意為“販賣丑聞” ，是scandalmonger （使醜聞流傳的人）的變形。這個詞的前半部分源於中世紀法語scandale（不當行為或誹謗言論引起的公憤），後半部分則源於古英語mangere（商人）。在新聞報導中，scandalmonger常被用來形容用陰謀論和流言蜚語製造話題的“攪屎棍”。
