It is used especially to talk about matters of scientific or historical fact. Refute is used more often to talk about arguments or accusations; rebut is used especially to talk about accusations. People can rebut a claim just by denying it, without producing evidence. To refute a claim originally meant to disprove it with evidence; however, in modern usage, refute is also often used to mean 'deny'. * disprove使用频率最高，没有另外两个词正式，尤用于科学或史实问题；refute多指驳斥论点或指控；rebut则尤指驳斥指控。表示驳斥某个说法，rebut可以只是否认，不一定提供证据。refute原本是指以证据证明某个说法错误，但在现代用法中也常表示“否认”。   see also refute ⇨ deny ■ confound kənˈfaʊnd [transitive] (formal) to show that sb/sth is wrong, especially by doing sth that people did not expect or predict （尤指出人意料地）证明⋯有错，驳斥◆She confounded her critics and proved she could do the job.她驳倒了批评者的看法，证明自己能够胜任该工作。◆The rise in share prices confounded expectations.股价的上涨出人意料。■ debunk ˌdiːˈbʌŋk [transitive] (rather informal) to show that an idea or belief is false, especially one that has existed for a long time; to show that sth is not as good as people think it is 批判，驳斥（存在已久的观点或信念）；揭穿⋯的真相◆Let's start by debunking a few myths.让我们首先揭开几个迷思的真相。◆She attempts to debunk unrealistic expectations about marriage.她试图批判对婚姻的种种不切实际的幻想。■ invalidate ɪnˈvælɪdeɪt [transitive] to prove that an idea, story or argument is wrong, especially by showing it has mistakes in it 证明⋯错误；使站不住脚◆This new piece of evidence invalidates his version of events.这条新证据推翻了他对事件经过的说法。◆Flawed research methods may invalidate the study's conclusions.错误的研究方法可能会使得研究结论站不住脚。ⓘ An idea, story, etc. is invalidated by evidence or circumstances, not by a person trying to disprove it. * invalidate表示证明某个观点或说法有误时，其主语是证据或客观环境，而非试图驳斥它的人◆She tried to think how to invalidate the argument on moral grounds. ■ explode [transitive] to show that an idea or belief, especially sth that many people think or believe, is false 推翻，驳倒，破除（众人相信的观点或信念）◆Here, at last, is a women's magazine to explode the myth that thin equals beautiful.终于有一家女性杂志起来推翻瘦就是美的迷思。■ demolish dɪˈmɒlɪʃ; NAmE dɪˈmɑːlɪʃ [transitive] (rather informal) to show that an idea or theory is completely wrong 彻底推翻，驳倒（观点或理论）◆A recent book has demolished this theory.最近出版的一本书推翻了这种理论。
