Chen Li: 大家好,我是陳藜. 今天我們要學(xué)的是什么詞語(yǔ)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(gè)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(lái)這就是 Rolex 的偽冒品。剛才你說(shuō)還可以用來(lái)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(gè)大問(wèn)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(yǔ)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(huì)。
