Helen: Hello. This is Real English from BBC Learning
English. I’m Helen.
Chen Li: 大家好,我是陳藜. 今天我們要學(xué)的是什么詞語呢?
Helen: Today’s word is ‘counterfeit’ –
C.O.U.N.T.E.R.F.E.I.T – counterfeit.
Chen Li: Counterfeit.
就是一個詞，解釋一下意思好么？
Helen: Well, counterfeit means fake.
Chen Li: Fake 就是假的，counterfeit 也就是偽造品。那么什么樣的物品被稱為偽造品呢？
Helen: Well, you can have counterfeit money, or
counterfeit goods.
Chen Li: 可以再詳細(xì)一點(diǎn)嗎？
Helen: You can buy a very cheap Rolex in the street,
but it isn’t real. It’s counterfeit.
Chen Li: 原來這就是 Rolex 的偽冒品。剛才你說還可以用來指假貨幣。
Helen: Yes. If you make fake money you could be
arrested for making counterfeit money, or counterfeiting.
Chen Li: 那么，counterfeit 就是偽冒的，通常是仿冒有名的品牌，或者造假貨幣。
Insert
A: What do you mean you won’t accept this money?
B: Well, sir, I’m afraid it’s counterfeit – look, it’s the
wrong colour.
C: Those Vuitton bags are very cheap!
D: Yes, too cheap! They must be counterfeit.
Chen Li: Helen, 你認(rèn)為假冒品是個大問題嗎？
Helen: Yes. It’s a huge problem. If you buy
counterfeit goods, you don’t get a warranty so if it breaks you can’t do
anything about it.
Chen Li: No, you can’t. I have to save money for the
real thing then.
Helen: Don’t ever buy a counterfeit one.
Chen Li: Well, 今天我們學(xué)的詞語是counterfeit，意思是假冒商品和貨幣。
Helen: Time’s up. You’ve been listening to Real
English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon.
Chen Li: See you next time. 下次節(jié)目再會。
