expose vt.揭露；使曝光；使面临；使暴露 (1) 这名记者因为试图揭露一个阴谋而被杀害。(2) 我讨厌狗仔队,他们老曝光别人的隐私。(3) 我们不应该让孩子看恐怖片。(4) 待在室内,不要把皮肤暴露在阳光下。(5) 你不应该让士兵们冒不必要的危险。 When you pronounce expose as it’s spelled, it can mean to leave out in the air, to put in peril (when you expose someone to danger), or to uncover. All of those examples are actions. However, when you pronounce it as though there is a French accent on the final "e," ex-poh-ZAY, it means the unmasking or exposure of something hidden (and usually bad or fraudulent), as when you watch an expose on 60 Minutes about the evils of frozen orange juice or some other toxic substance.
