正确表达The deal was kiboshed by the lawyers.
被动语态中 be 动词后要用过去分词 kiboshed，不能用动词原形 kibosh；kibosh 的过去式和过去分词均为 kiboshed。
scotch 强调一举彻底终止某事，多用于书面语，常搭配谣言、计划、提案；kibosh 更口语化，常见于 put the kibosh on 这类结构，侧重叫停、使无法推进。语义有重叠，但语域和搭配不同。
quash 多用于法律或权威语境，指正式撤销判决或强力压制（如叛乱、谣言）；kibosh 更随意口语，适用于日常叫停计划或活动。
两者词形与读音相近（同以 kib- 开头，且都源自意第绪语），但 kibitz 指旁观闲聊、乱出主意，不含“叫停”义，不能与 kibosh 互换。
