Noun:
one who spreads real or alleged scandal about another usually for political advantage这是美国第廿六任总统罗斯福Theodore Roosevelt．1858 - 1919创造的一个词。它的产生是有一定历史背景的。
1901年美国总统麦金利William McKinley，1843 -1901被刺身死，罗斯福以副总统身分继任总统。在他任期内1901 - 1909，以L1ncoln Steffens和Upton Sinclair等人为代表的一些记者、小说家及评论家，对当时美国政治的腐败及商业的弊病进行了辣人彻底的调查。他们的调查报告在报上发表后，舆论哗然，举国震惊。
由于报告揭露了一些政界要人的丑闻、商界大亨的劣迹以及公职人员的贪污读职，在一定程度上触及了美国统治阶级的痛处，身为总统的罗斯福对此大为恼怒。他担心这些报告可能引起危险的反响。在1906发表的一次谈话中，他一方面不得不承认报告中披露的许多问题是符合实际情况的；另一方面又猛烈地抨击了这些调查者，指责他们的报告过甚其词，耸人听闻，不负责任。17世纪英国作家班扬JohnBunyan，1628 - 1688的寓言式作品《天路历程净Piigrim~Progress中有一个人物，他手持粪耙muckrake，目不他视，总是两眼朝下，一心在耙粪肥荇物。罗斯福认为那些专事搜集、报道丑事的人，尤其是新闻记者，同这个人物颇为相似。于是，他便在muckrake词后加一表示后缀-er，创造了muckraker 一词来称谓这些人。调查者们对这一称号并无不快，而是引以为荣的接受了。他们连篇累牍的报道引起了全国对他们所调查问题的关注，促使了一些社会状况的改变。国会通过了新的法令，政府也进行了一些改革。这场揭丑运动the muckraking movement持续了多年，直到1 912年才逐渐减弱。然而，muckraker却作为英语词语保留了下来，立住了脚跟，并且一直使用至今。今天，其词义没有什么变化，仍然意指“搜集并揭发丑事的人尤指新闻记者”或“刺探隐私者”。muck-rak-er名人|物⇒n.探听丑闻的人近义词 stirrer搅拌者gossipmonger长舌troublemaker闹事者mudslinger揭发隐私者scandalmonger专事诽谤的人…slanderer诽谤者造谣中伤者…
