- 1說壞話、講人壞話
To bad-mouth someone is to say things about them, usually when they are not in the room. You are tearing down their name — a person, a shop, a film, a plan. It is informal spoken English, a little sharp, and it almost always sounds like gossip or an attack, not like a careful review. You can bad-mouth a product (“Don’t buy that phone”) or a person. Though actually, in writing you will also see it stuck together as badmouth, and the -ing form bad-mouthing / badmouthing; the meaning stays the same. It is stronger than “I don’t like it” and ruder than “I disagree.”
「bad-mouth」就是在某人不在場時說他的壞話，把他的名聲拉下來，對象可以是人，也可以是店家、電影或計畫。它是有點尖銳的口語用字，聽起來常像八卦或攻擊，不像認真的評論。
用法上可以說 「bad-mouth + 人或東西」。例如 「Don't buy that phone」（別買那支手機），這句話就是在唱衰產品。語氣比「我不喜歡」重，又比「我不同意」不客氣。寫成 badmouth 也可以，意思不變。
組成bad (unkind, negative) + mouth (the thing you speak with) — to use your mouth in a bad way about someone
