今天我們要學的詞是 hearsay.

美國情報機構會議（資料圖）

hearsay 的意思是傳聞，道聽途說。 The US intelligence community secretly eliminated a requirement that whistleblowers provide direct, first-hand knowledge of alleged wrongdoings, and allowed whistleblowers to use ‘hearsay' when filing a complaint. 美國情報機構秘密地取消了對舉報人的一項要求，就是必須提供被控不法行為的直接的、第一手資料，而允許舉報人可以根據“傳聞”提出投訴。

Some U.S. lawmakers are proposing a so-called "red flag" confiscation law that would enable police to summarily seize an individual's guns based on hearsay. 美國一些議員提出一項所謂的“危險警告”沒收法案，授權警方可以根據傳言隨時沒收個人槍支。
