休闲对话：风靡一时的“山寨中国”

Tony: Nice i-phone. I am planning to get one next month when I get my pay check.

手机不错啊。我计划下个月发了工资就去买一个。

Jessica: It is not a real one. I got it from one of my Chinese friends.

这不是正版的。我从一个中国朋友那里买的。

Tony: You girls. Why not get a real one? You have a sugar daddy. He will buy everything for you to please you.

你们这些女孩子。为什么不买一个真的?你那位大款有钱啊。为了讨好你，他肯定什么都买。

Jessica: He is not. He is my partner. We both get what we need. BTW, he is not as old as he looks. I like new stuffs. My enthusiasm for one specific product won’t last longer than two months. If I bought the real thing, I would feel guilty of wasting.

他不是。我们是伴侣。各取所需。顺便申明，他没有他看上去那么老。我喜欢新东西。我对于某样东西的热情不会持续超过两月的。如果买正品，我会有浪费的罪恶感。

Tony: I guess the counterfeit market is driven by you guys. Look at you. You dress like some kind of Japanese crap. Can’t you have some normal dresses?

我想就是你们这些人拉动着山寨市场。看看你，穿的什么日本垃圾啊。为什么不穿些正常点儿的衣服?

Jessica: I like Japanese culture. Don’t you think kimonos are beautiful? Only real ladies can wear kimonos.

我喜欢日本文化。你不觉得和服很美吗?只有真正的淑女才可以穿和服。

Tony: Let me tell you something, young lady. Those Europeans including Japanmen are complaining about fake products in China. But in fact it was those goody-goodies who started copying Chinese products first.

小女生，让我来给你讲讲。那些欧洲政府包括日本佬在内一直在抱怨中国的山寨货。可事实上，是那些虚伪的人模仿中国货开始的。

Jessica: Japanmen? Don’t create a word. Great Master, tell me what products they were copying then.

日本佬?不要造词了好吧。大师，那告诉我他们模仿中国的什么呢?

Tony: China, of course. They are named after it. CHINA. Also they copied embroidery. It was a fashion to have a piece of authentic china at home. More than that, it was a luxury. In order to gain more profits, they fooled people like you with fake made-in-China mark.

当然那是瓷器了。中国就是以这个命名的好吧。中国。还有刺绣。如果家里能有一件正品的中国瓷器，这是时尚。而且是奢侈。为了更多赚取利润，他们就用假的中国造商标来唬弄了。

Jessica: I didn’t know that. Thank you for the tips. I will buy fake china and sell it here. So l can dump the old man. Fantastic!

以前还真不知道唉。谢谢提醒。我可以从进口山寨瓷器然后在这里卖。我可以甩掉那个老家伙了。太棒了。
