vi. 支吾其辞,搪塞,撒谎

支吾其辞,搪塞,撒谎

prevaricate
v 1: be deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or
withhold information [synonym: {beat around the bush},
{equivocate}, {tergiversate}, {prevaricate}, {palter}]

Prevaricate \Pre*var"i*cate\, v. i. [imp. & p. p.
{Prevaricated}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Prevaricating}.] [L.
praevaricatus, p. p. of praevaricari to walk crookedly, to
collude; prae before varicare to straddle, fr. varicus
straddling, varus bent. See {Varicose}.]
1. To shift or turn from one side to the other, from the
direct course, or from truth; to speak with equivocation;
to shuffle; to quibble; as, he prevaricates in his
statement.
[1913 Webster]

He prevaricates with his own understanding. --South.
[1913 Webster]

2. (Civil Law) To collude, as where an informer colludes with
the defendant, and makes a sham prosecution.
[1913 Webster]

3. (Eng. Law) To undertake a thing falsely and deceitfully,
with the purpose of defeating or destroying it.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: To evade; equivocate; quibble; shuffle.

Usage: {Prevaricate}, {Evade}, {Equivocate}. One who evades a
question ostensibly answers it, but really turns aside
to some other point. He who equivocate uses words
which have a double meaning, so that in one sense he
can claim to have said the truth, though he does in
fact deceive, and intends to do it. He who
prevaricates talks all round the question, hoping to
"dodge" it, and disclose nothing.
[1913 Webster]


Prevaricate \Pre*var"i*cate\, v. t.
To evade by a quibble; to transgress; to pervert. [Obs.]
--Jer. Taylor.
[1913 Webster]
