歪曲 (Distort)

對於種族歧視草案，香港人權監察說，學校的教學語言不能用作投訴歧視的理由，這規條完全歪曲了種族歧視的國際定義。The provision that a school's language of instruction could not be used as a basis for a racial discrimination complaint had utterly distorted the international definition of racial discrimination。最近有人引用美國的經驗，說如果公平競爭法通過，消費者的選擇將會減少，而價格將會上升。
有議員說那人故意選擇美國作例子來歪曲情況。He had deliberately chosen the US example to distort the picture。

Distort 是「歪曲、曲解」的意思。它是動詞，其他例子：He gave a distorted account of what had happened 是「他對所發生的事情作了歪曲的報道」，Unexpected heavy losses this month have distorted the true picture of the company's financial situation 是「公司本月意外的重大虧損扭曲了它財政狀況的真相」。
