每日一詞 ： Smear |抹黑
為了維護自身名譽，這家美國投行正在努力讓馬來西亞當局相信，公司的前合夥人是個大騙子——是他讓高盛陷入了這場巨額詐騙的陷阱。 時報報導指出，高盛在馬來西亞欺詐案中的策略，就是抹黑前合夥人(smear an ex-partner)。
根據韋氏辭典， smear指的是粘稠物質或該物質造成的污漬；也指塗抹在一些表面上的物質。在新聞報導中，smear的常見意思是針對個人或組織未經證實的指控，如smear campaign（抹黑行動）。另一個與抹黑行動意思相近的詞是squid tactics（烏賊戰術）。
抹黑在美國政壇極為常見，經常是兩黨相互較勁、政治人物用來摧毀政敵的技巧。去年，當時還是最高法院大法官候選人的卡瓦諾法官面臨性不當性行為指控，他予以否認，還說它們是民主黨人策劃的“抹黑行動” (“smears” orchestrated by Democrats)。而在中國，“五毛黨”可能是“中國式抹黑”的最佳寫照。知名作家慕容雪村曾在時報發表觀點文章，介紹中國五毛黨的網絡抹黑運動 。

經濟放緩，中國官媒“給豬抹口紅”？
EMILY CHAN
經濟學家認為，當前中國官媒對經濟現狀的吹噓，是在“給豬抹口紅”。 Smear the pig with lipstick是一種修辭手法，用來傳達這樣一種信息：企圖掩蓋本質的表面功夫是徒勞的。
