Translation of "to distort" into Chinese

Experts made a comparative distinction between “market manipulation” and “excessive speculation”, both of which have the potential to distort prices and to increase volatility.

专家们对“市场操纵”和“过度投机”作了区分,两者都有可能扭曲价格,增加波动性。

Otherwise, how can we describe this twisted logic that those leaders use to distort reality and misrepresent conditions.

倘非如此,我们如何来理解这些领导人歪曲现实,谎报情况的荒唐逻辑呢?
