misleading
Significado: Giving the wrong idea or impression; likely to cause someone to believe something that is not true.
Misleading is widely used in media, legal, and consumer contexts to describe information that, while not necessarily outright false, creates a false impression. It is a key term in advertising regulation — the UK's Advertising Standards Authority frequently rules against 'misleading' adverts. Common collocations include 'misleading information,' 'misleading impression,' 'misleading statistics,' and 'potentially misleading.'
Ejemplos
- The advert was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority for giving a misleading impression of the product's capabilities. 该广告因给人对产品性能的误导性印象而被广告标准管理局禁止。El anuncio fue prohibido por la Advertising Standards Authority por dar una impresión engañosa de las prestaciones del producto.その広告は、製品の機能について誤った印象を与えるとして、広告基準局によって禁止されました。그 광고는 제품의 성능에 대해 오해를 유발하는 인상을 준다는 이유로 광고기준위원회에 의해 금지되었습니다.
- Presenting statistics without context can be highly misleading, even if the figures themselves are accurate. 在没有上下文的情况下呈现统计数据可能极具误导性,即使数字本身是准确的。Presentar estadísticas sin contexto puede resultar muy engañoso, aunque las cifras en sí sean exactas.文脈なしに統計データを提示することは、数字自体が正確であっても、非常に誤解を招く恐れがあります。맥락 없이 통계 수치를 제시하는 것은 수치 자체가 정확하더라도 매우 오해를 유발할 수 있습니다.
- The headline was criticised as misleading because it implied a connection between events that were entirely unrelated. 该标题因暗示完全不相关的事件之间存在关联而被批评为具有误导性。El titular fue criticado como engañoso porque insinuaba una conexión entre acontecimientos totalmente inconexos.その見出しは、まったく無関係な出来事の間に関連があるかのように示唆していたため、誤解を招くとして批判されました。그 헤드라인은 전혀 관련 없는 사건들 사이에 연관이 있는 것처럼 암시했기 때문에 오해의 소지가 있다는 비판을 받았습니다.
