- 1揭發報導、揭弊專題
An exposé is a news story — in a paper, on TV, or online — that digs up something people in power hoped to hide. The point is not only “here is the news”; it is “look, this was going on, and it is ugly.” You meet it with scandals: dirty money, a company lying, a famous person covering something up. Journalists like the word; it feels serious and a little dramatic. Everyday talk might just say they ran a big story. Though actually, people sometimes write it without the accent (expose), which is a pity, because that spelling is already the verb meaning “to show or uncover.” The noun with the accent is the finished piece of reporting. People stretch it too: any sharp public reveal might get called an exposé, even when it is not quite newspaper work.
組成Unadapted borrowing from French exposé (the French noun from the verb exposer, “to set out / show”). English kept the accent to mark it as this noun, not the verb expose.
