Question

fiction n.小说；虚构；杜撰 (1) 现实生活有时比小说还离奇。(2) 我喜欢读科幻小说。(3) 把现实与虚构区分开来是很重要的。(4) 他的证言全是虚构。(5) 她的酒杯是杜撰出来的，但是这酒倒是真的。(6) 作为工作装置来看，永动机属于科学空想和科学上的杜撰。 The Latin word fictus means “to form,” which seems like a good source for the English word fiction, since fiction is formed in the imagination. Like its literary cousins fable, legend, and myth, however, fiction has a slightly darker additional meaning: a deliberate lie or untruth. When we talk about "the line between fact and fiction," we're talking about the difference between truth and lies.
