- 1誹謗的、中傷的（英語法律常把口頭叫 slander、書面叫 libel；台灣刑法的「誹謗」不一定這樣分）
A slanderous statement is a spoken claim that is not true, and that someone says in order to hurt another person's good name. It is not just ; the point of it is to make other people think worse of you. In English law talk, slander is the spoken kind of this harm; the written kind is often called libel. Though actually, in everyday talk people mix the two, and they call almost any cruel false story slanderous, even a post online. News writers still like the old split: said out loud versus written down. The word is fairly formal. You meet it in news, in court talk, and in fights about someone's name. Calling a true, fair criticism slanderous is itself a strong charge — so people sometimes use the word too quickly when they are only angry.
組成slander (a false spoken attack on someone's name) + -ous (having that quality).
