Answer 1

Iraq disavowed on Wednesday an offer by its officials in Kuwait to release more than 650 citizens of seven European Community countries, Belgium said.　比利時指出，伊拉克駐科威特官員於星期三拒絕了一項要求，內容為釋放七個歐盟成員國中超過 650 名的平民。"This has been denied by the competent ministerial authorities in Baghdad," a Belgian Foreign Ministry spokesman told Reuters.You may not understand the word disavow, but if you keep reading you will see the same idea expressed with the word deny, and then you should know disavow means deny.　經一位比利時的外交發言人透露給路透社的消息指出。巴格達的政府主管當局已正式地拒絕這項要求。也許你不清楚 disavow 這個字的字義，但只要一直看下去，你將會發現這個字所表達的意思就是否認，最後你就會知道 disavow 就是拒絕。competene : legally capable, 有職權的；正當的；合法的；有管轄權的。the competent authorities : 主管當局Foreign Ministry spokesman : 外交部發言人
