"Put the lie to (something)" = Nói dối, nói sai sự thật về cái gì.
Ví dụ
I used to think one acquired wisdom with age, an accumulation of knowledge and experience rendering me better able to understand my surroundings. Alas, the past few decades, especially the past few years, have put the lie to that.
Climate change (biến đổi khí hậu), Ms. Fleming said, is partly behind her bid for Congress. “I have a record that can put the lie to Lee Zeldin’s claims of being an environmentalist,” she said, touting the resolution she sponsored establishing a community choice aggregation task force in the Legislature, her work to reduce application of the mosquito larvicide methoprene (thuốc diệt ấu trùng muỗi) over Accabonac Harbor in Springs, and shellfish aquaculture (người nuôi trồng thủy sản).
And there's more good news. Recent years have seen a boom in pregnancy help centers — loving and welcoming ministries offering every kind of help a mom could ever need. Many pro-life centers that started as small ministries have since expanded and now provide medical care (such as STI testing), diapers (tã lót) and other supplies, toys, child care, and even in some places job training, typically in a faith-based environment. Pregnancy resource centers now outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities, five to one. These facilities, importantly, put the lie to claims that pro-lifers stop caring about mothers and babies after they are born.
