debunk [ˋdiˋbʌŋk]/[dɪˈbʌŋk] 這個字在現在的網路文章、網路新聞和社群媒體上很常見
而且通常是它的過去分詞debunked
為什麼呢?因為現在資訊過於發達,常有假消息或以訛傳訛的消息
debunk這個字就是「證明…是假的」的意思
我們常在文章的標題看到xxx Debunked!
就是「xxx 被證明是假的」的意思
不過要注意的是它跟流行語的「踢爆」不一樣
因為「踢爆」是指揭穿別人的惡行,但是debunk這個字只能用在事情
而且通常是一些myths, mysteries (迷思、神秘事件)

我們來造些句:

The health myth “eating ice cream will make your cold worse” has been debunked.
(「吃冰淇淋會讓感冒變嚴重」這個健康迷思已經被證明是假的。)
The CEO debunked rumors about the merger.
(該名執行長證明關於併購的傳言不實。)
