诽谤 في 30 ثانية
- 诽谤 (fěibàng) means to slander or defame someone by spreading false information.
- It is a formal word used in legal, news, and serious social contexts.
- The term implies malicious intent and damage to another person's reputation.
- It acts as both a verb ('to slander') and a noun ('defamation/slander').
The term 诽谤 (fěibàng) is a formal and serious Chinese word that translates to 'slander,' 'defamation,' or 'libel.' In its essence, it describes the act of intentionally spreading false information to damage someone's reputation or character. Unlike casual gossip or mere criticism, 诽谤 implies a level of malice and a significant impact on the victim's social or legal standing. It is a word you will encounter frequently in legal contexts, news reports about celebrities, and discussions regarding ethics and social media conduct.
- Legal Context
- In the legal sphere, 诽谤 refers to the crime or tort of defamation. It involves the communication of a false statement to a third party that harms the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation. In China, 诽谤罪 (the crime of defamation) is a specific charge under the criminal law.
- Social Media Usage
- With the rise of the internet, the word is often used to describe 'cyber-defamation.' When a netizen posts false rumors about a public figure, the victim may issue a legal letter claiming 诽谤. It highlights the power of words in the digital age and the consequences of spreading unverified claims.
- Interpersonal Dynamics
- In a non-legal but still serious sense, it can describe a betrayal of trust where one person speaks ill of another behind their back to ruin their image within a community or workplace. It is viewed as a highly immoral act in traditional Chinese culture.
他因为在网上恶意诽谤他人而受到了法律制裁。
The word is composed of two characters: 诽 (fěi), which means to slander or blame, and 谤 (bàng), which means to defame or speak ill of. Both characters contain the speech radical (言), indicating that the action is performed through words. Historically, these characters were used to describe criticizing the government or officials, but in modern Mandarin, the scope has broadened to include all forms of character assassination. Understanding 诽谤 is crucial for anyone navigating professional or public life in a Chinese-speaking environment, as it marks the boundary between free speech and harmful falsehoods.
面对无端的诽谤，他选择了用事实来反击。
Using 诽谤 correctly requires understanding its grammatical role. Although it is often translated as a noun (slander/defamation), it frequently functions as a verb in Chinese sentences. It is a transitive verb, meaning it can directly take an object—the person or entity being slandered. However, it is also very common to see it used as a noun in phrases like '恶意诽谤' (malicious slander) or '诽谤罪' (the crime of defamation).
- As a Verb
- When used as a verb, the structure is usually [Subject] + 诽谤 + [Object]. For example: '你不应该在背后诽谤你的同事' (You should not slander your colleagues behind their backs). Note that the tone is always negative.
- As a Noun
- As a noun, it often follows adjectives or verbs of action. For example: '这是赤裸裸的诽谤' (This is blatant slander). Or '他起诉了那家报社，指控其诽谤' (He sued that newspaper, accusing it of defamation).
任何形式的诽谤都是不可接受的，尤其是涉及到个人隐私时。
In formal writing, such as legal documents or news articles, you will see 诽谤 paired with specific verbs. Common pairs include: 构成诽谤 (to constitute defamation), 涉嫌诽谤 (to be suspected of defamation), and 遭到诽谤 (to be slandered). These collocations help specify the legal or social status of the act. For instance, '他的言论已经构成了诽谤' (His remarks have already constituted defamation) is a much stronger statement than simply saying he said something bad.

While 诽谤 is a formal word, it is surprisingly common in modern Chinese life due to the prevalence of digital media and legal awareness. You won't typically hear it in a casual conversation between friends about a small disagreement, but you will hear it in the following contexts:
- News and Media
- Whenever a celebrity or a politician is involved in a scandal where false rumors were spread, the news anchors will use 诽谤. Example: '某知名演员起诉网络博主诽谤案今日开庭' (The case of a famous actor suing a blogger for defamation opened today).
- Corporate and Professional Settings
- In business, if a competitor spreads lies about a company's product quality, the company's PR department or legal counsel will use this term. It is often found in 'Lawyer's Letters' (律师函) sent to stop the spread of rumors.
- Social Media Platforms
- On platforms like Weibo or WeChat, users often warn others: '网络不是法外之地，诽谤他人要负法律责任' (The internet is not a place outside the law; slandering others carries legal responsibility).

In television dramas (especially legal or office dramas), 诽谤 is a key plot device. A character might be framed or their reputation destroyed by a rival using 诽谤. This helps the audience understand the severity of the conflict. In academic settings, it might be discussed in the context of ethics or media law. Even in schools, discussions about bullying often touch upon 诽谤 as a form of verbal and psychological abuse.
Learning to use 诽谤 correctly involves distinguishing it from several similar-sounding or similar-meaning words. Because it is a high-level (B2/C1) vocabulary item, nuance is everything. Here are the most common pitfalls for English speakers:
- 诽谤 vs. 诋毁 (dǐhuǐ)
- While both mean to speak ill of someone, 诽谤 usually implies the creation and spread of *false facts* (specific lies). 诋毁 is broader and more about general disparagement or 'trash-talking' to lower someone's prestige, not necessarily involving a specific false event.
- 诽谤 vs. 谣言 (yáoyán)
- 谣言 is a noun meaning 'rumor.' You *spread* a rumor (造谣), which might *be* a form of 诽谤. However, 诽谤 is the act or the legal category, while 谣言 is the content itself. You can't '诽谤' a rumor; you '造' (create) a rumor to '诽谤' a person.
- Confusing with 'Criticism'
- Many learners use 诽谤 when they just mean 'someone said something mean.' If a boss tells an employee they are lazy, that is 批评 (criticism) or 责备 (blame), not 诽谤. 诽谤 requires the statement to be false and shared with others.
错误用法：他昨天在会上诽谤我的报告写得不好。(Incorrect: He slandered my report for being poorly written—unless he lied about the report's contents to ruin your career.)
Another mistake is the register. 诽谤 is quite formal. Using it in a petty argument with a sibling might sound overly dramatic or even humorous. In casual settings, words like '说坏话' (shuō huàihuà - speak bad words) or '损' (sǔn - to roast/belittle) are more appropriate. Save 诽谤 for situations involving legal rights, professional reputations, or serious moral failings.
To truly master 诽谤, you should understand the spectrum of 'bad-mouthing' in Chinese. Here is a comparison of synonyms that vary in intensity and context:
- 诬陷 (wūxiàn)
- This is stronger than 诽谤. It means to frame someone or bring a false charge against them. 诽谤 is about reputation; 诬陷 is often about getting someone arrested or punished for something they didn't do.
- 中伤 (zhòngshāng)
- Literally 'to injure with a hit.' This is a more literary or poetic way to say 'slander.' It emphasizes the emotional or social wound caused by the words. Often used in the phrase '恶意中伤' (maliciously slandering).
- 造谣 (zàoyáo)
- Meaning 'to start a rumor.' This focuses on the creation of the lie rather than the damage to the person. You can 造谣 about a natural disaster, but you 诽谤 a person.
对比：
1. 诽谤：说假话坏人名声。
2. 诬陷：造假证据害人入狱。
3. 造谣：制造并散布假消息。
When choosing which word to use, ask yourself: Is the focus on the falseness of the info (造谣)? Is it on the legal/reputational damage (诽谤)? Is it on the intent to get them in legal trouble (诬陷)? Or is it a general attempt to lower their status (诋毁)? Mastering these distinctions will make your Chinese sound much more precise and sophisticated.
How Formal Is It?

In the Han Dynasty, there was a '诽谤木' (defamation post), a wooden pillar where citizens could write their complaints about the government. This eventually evolved into the decorative 'Huabiao' (ornamental columns) seen in Tiananmen Square!
دليل النطق
- Pronouncing 'fěi' as 'fēi' (1st tone) instead of 3rd tone.
- Pronouncing 'bàng' as 'páng' (due to the right side of the character).
- Confusing the tones: fěibàng vs. fēibāng (which is not a word).
- Mumbling the 'f' sound; it should be clear.
- Over-extending the 'ěi' sound in 'fěi'.

أصل الكلمة
The word consists of two characters, '诽' and '谤', both appearing in ancient Chinese texts like the 'Zuo Zhuan' and the 'Analects'. They originally referred to public criticism of officials or the emperor.
المعنى الأصلي: To criticize or complain about the government. In ancient times, '诽谤' was sometimes encouraged by enlightened rulers to hear the people's grievances, but later became a crime.
Sino-Tibetan, Chinese.السياق الثقافي
Be careful when using this word to describe government actions in China, as it is a sensitive legal and political term.
In English law, we distinguish between 'slander' (spoken) and 'libel' (written). Chinese usually uses 诽谤 for both, though 诽 covers spoken and 谤 covers written in very technical contexts.
