常见错误

❌ 错误:He said a falsehood to me.
✓ 正确:He told a falsehood to me.

falsehood 通常与动词 tell 搭配表示“说谎”,而不是 say;say 更常用于直接引语或一般陈述,如 say a lie 也不自然,应改为 tell a lie 或 tell a falsehood。

❌ 错误:This is a falsehood news.
✓ 正确:This is false news.

falsehood 是名词,不能直接修饰名词;应使用形容词 false 来修饰 news,表示“虚假新闻”,或者用 falsehood 作为主语,如 The news is a falsehood。

近义词辨析

lie

lie 更口语化,常指个人有意的欺骗行为,带有道德谴责意味;falsehood 更正式、中性,强调陈述本身的虚假性,多用于法律或学术语境。

He told a lie to his friend (强调欺骗意图) vs. The statement was proven a falsehood in court (强调事实不符)。

untruth

untruth 与 falsehood 相似,都较正式,但 untruth 可能更委婉,有时暗示非故意错误;falsehood 更直接指虚假陈述,尤其在法律或逻辑讨论中。

She may have spoken an untruth out of confusion (可能无意) vs. The contract contained a falsehood (明确虚假)。
