What is Gossip?
八卦是指空闲的谈话或谣言,尤其是关于他人的个人或私人事务。闲话也被称为盘旋或纹身。如果您与某人八卦,您会非正式地谈论其他人或当地活动。我们大多数八卦,尽管我们中有些人不愿承认。您是否还记得与同事谈论老板的情况,或者您告诉一位朋友关于您对另一个朋友不喜欢的事情的情况?好吧,这两种情况都是八卦的例子。
Of course, gossip may start innocently, without you having any intention to harm anyone. But, your conversation about the person who is not there with you, i.e., the subject of your gossip, have a tendency to escalate rapidly, leading to criticism and censure. For example, imagine you see a new photo of your friend on social media. You find his or her hairstyle or clothing weird and show this to another friend and start talking about the friend who is not there. Also, this conversation may start with a casual comment like, “I don’t like his new hair cut”, but it has the potential to worsen as you will end up talking about all your friend’s weird choices, and other things you don’t like about him or her.
What is Slander?

Slander is atort(a civil wrong) that is punishable by law. Moreover, the person who slanders another can be punished with simple imprisonment, a fine, or both.
