外国人眼里什么才是"名牌"

　　They had no Chinese brands, only Cartier, Citizen, Seiko, Rolex. Desperately, I finally bought a Gucci for which I paid 20 yuan, bargained down from 168 yuan. It still works after 14 years.

　　他们那并没有中国的品牌，只有卡地亚，西铁城，精工以及劳力士。失望的我最终只好选择了一款古琦手表，价钱则由最初的168元砍到20元。14年之后，这块手表仍旧好用。

　　Two years ago, a family member needed an inexpensive watch with a blue plastic wristband for a special occasion, "something that looks nice on a little girl," she said, adding "a local, not-famous brand".

　　两年前，我的一位家人为了参加一个特定场合，需要佩戴一块蓝色塑料腕带的平价手表。她说：“要那种适合小女孩的款式。”她还补充到：“要当地的没有名气的牌子。”

　　Hong Qiao was the market for children's watches. Having refused several ming pai copies, I was leaving without buying when I saw a blue plastic one.

　　虹桥市场有许多儿童手表出售。拒绝了几款仿名牌之后，我正打算空手而归，这时我看到了一款蓝色塑料手表。

　　"Diesel, what a strange name for a watch," I thought. Wasn't diesel something that went into a gas tank? The transaction went quickly; I offered 35 yuan and left with the watch.

　　我心想：“‘柴油机’，这手表的名字还真是奇怪啊！”难道那不是该呆在油箱里的东西吗？交易过程很快，我付了35元钱后就拿着表离开了。
