Question

vilify v.诽谤；中伤 (1) 因她持有异议，新闻界对她横加挞伐。(2) 华盛顿的政客们却要举行电视听证会,在会上中伤石油公司,以获得更多的选票。 The verb vilify comes from the same root as the word vile and is a negative word if ever there was one! One way to remember the word is to think about how it sounds — like the word villain (which is unrelated and comes from villa). This suggests that when you vilify someone, you make them sound villainous. So avoid spreading vile words that vilify another and make him or her seem like a villain.
