Bum steer
Bum就是不好的，或者是错误的。Steer就是引导向某个方向发展。
把bum和 steer两个字合在一起就成了一个习惯用语。意思是：假的信息，或者是使人迷惑的信息。
下面是一个例子，这是一个受害于假信息的公司总裁。
例句3: I flew out to Los Angeles when I heard this company wanted to buy a million dollars worth of our equipment. But it turned out to be a bum steer, just a rumor spread by one of our competitions to make trouble for us.这个总裁说：我搭飞机到洛山矶去，因为我听说这个公司要买我们的设备，价值达一百万美元。但是，这个消息结果是假的，是我们竞争对象之一为了给我们制造麻烦而散布的谣言。
例句4: I really feel sorry for Mary. She moved all the way from San Francisco to New York believing that Frank would marry her as he promised. But his promise was a pure bum steer. Mary found out he's already married and has two kids.
这个人说：我真是为玛丽感到难受。她老远的从旧金山搬到纽约来，相信弗兰克会跟她结婚，就像他保证的那样。可是，他的保证全是假的。玛丽发现他是结了婚的，还有两个孩子。
