- 1欺騙；欺瞞。
Deception is the act of making someone believe something that is not true — and doing it on purpose. A lie can be one sentence. Deception can be that, or a whole show: a fake story, a false name, a trick photograph. The important piece is the intention. If you get a fact wrong because you did not know, that is a mistake, not deception. The word is a little formal. Friends more often say lying, a trick, or “he fooled me.” You will meet it in news, law, and school reading. There is also self-deception: talking yourself into a story you half know is not true. That is still deception; only the person you trick is you.
