每日一词学英语(111): declassify

最近的解密文件表明,公众受有关外星人的影视剧影响,对不明飞行物的目击事件持续增加。Sightings of unidentified flying objects increase when public interest is aroused by films and television programmes about aliens, newly declassified files indicate. (From The Times, August 17, 2009: UFO sightings increase 'after television shows about aliens')

To classify有一个意思是:to declare something a secret, especially a government secret。
*They decided to classify that information.
它的反义词是to declassify: to state officially that secret government information is no longer secret。
*declassified information / documents
