Definition
批驳 is a formal verb meaning 'to refute or rebut an opinion, argument, or request' — it's stronger than just 批评 (criticize) and implies a point-by-point rejection of someone's reasoning or proposal. You'll encounter it in political, academic, or legal contexts where a higher authority systematically counters a lower body's view. The object is typically an opinion, theory, or request, not a person directly.
