打击仿冒


仿冒的情况日益猖獗,从名牌包包到打火机都有人仿冒。仿冒肇因于贸易全球化的结果。因为许多国家相关的立法不健全,又缺乏政府有效的执行,让黑社会有利可图,使得仿冒商品形成组织性的犯罪行为,阻碍社会经济的发展。仿冒行为是创意设计最大的杀手,特别是在创意设计者在未能取得智慧财产权保护的情况下,对于仿冒可能会束手无策。仿冒行为不但对合法企业不利,亦对消费者权益有损。基于保护消费者权益,也为了本身商业利益,大家应该一起杜绝仿冒。一般常用的几个简单的辨识方法有:检查包装是否完整、有无雷射卷标、印刷是否模糊或车工是否精致等等。


Tips In Use


Excuse me, sir

(先生,不好意思。)


"Excuse me."和"I'm sorry."都是表『抱歉∕对不起』。不过前者是在『引起别人的注意』、『向人请教事情』、『在人群中借过』或『表示要打扰对方』时使用的客气用语。而后者则是在『事与愿违』、『犯错』、『冒犯』或『伤害』等情形下道歉使用。


注意:

"Excuse me"之后要用 but 作连接词来连接另一个句子,而不用 and,且 but 不须翻译出来(不可译成『但是』); 而"I am sorry, but..."亦同。例:


I'm sorry, but I can't go with you.

(抱歉,我不能跟你一起去。)
