Real English:Counterfeit

The script of this programme 本節目台詞

Helen: Hello. This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Helen. Chen Li: 大家好,我是陳藜. 今天我們要學的是什麽詞語呢?

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，解釋一下意思好麽？

Helen: Well, counterfeit means fake.

Chen Li: Fake 就是假的，counterfeit 也就是偽造品。那麽什麽樣的物品被稱爲偽造品呢？

Helen: Well, you can have counterfeit money, or counterfeit goods.

Chen Li: 可以再詳細一點嗎？

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: 那麽，counterfeit 就是偽冒的，通常是倣冒有名的品牌，或者造假貨幣。

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, 你認爲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. 下次節目再會。
