BBC地道英語口語:Counterfeit 僞造品
Chen Li: 大家好,我是陳藜. 今天我們要學的是什麼詞語呢?
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,解釋一下意思好麼?
Helen: Well, counterfeit means fake.
Chen Li: Fake 就是假的,counterfeit 也就是僞造品。那麼什麼樣的物品被稱爲僞造品呢?
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 的僞冒品。剛纔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: 那麼,counterfeit 就是僞冒的,通常是仿冒有名的品牌,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。
