外国人眼里什么才是"名牌"

　　While visiting my family in Canada, we were talking about false-fraud-fake products in China. I assured them I would never buy imitations. As a writer, I don't accept that readers pirate my books and I would consider myself a thief if I ever buy counterfeits.

　　当我回加拿大看望家人时，大家一起谈论着中国的假货。我向他们保证自己不会去买仿冒品。作为一名作家，我无法接受读者剽窃我的著作，如果要我去买仿造品，我会觉得自己是在做贼。

　　A young relative once asked, "What about your purse?"

　　一个年轻的亲戚问道：“那么你的钱包又作何解释呢？”

　　"What's the problem with my purse?" I countered.

　　我反问道：“我的钱包有什么问题吗？”

　　"It's a Yves Saint-Laurent; do you mean you paid the full price?"

　　“这钱包是伊夫·圣罗兰的。你的意思是说你全价买的？”

　　"How can you think I bought a YSL? I bought it because of size, color and price."

　　“你怎么会认为我买的是圣罗兰的钱包？我买它只是因为大小，颜色和价格都合适罢了。”

　　She picked up the purse and pointed to the steel YSL on the flap. Believe it or not, I had not noticed it till then.

　　她拿起钱包指了指外皮上的“YSL”金属标志。不管你相信与否，直到那时我才注意到那个标志。

　　When Hong Qiao Market (Pearl Market) used to sell fake watches, I happened to need a watch and went there for the large choice they offered. What I wanted was a watch to see the time, I insisted.

　　过去红桥市场（珍珠市场）常常出售冒牌手表。一次我恰巧需要块手表，由于那边的选择空间很大，我决定去那儿买。我坚持认为自己需要的只是一块能够看时间的手表。
