深圳警方捣毁一个卖假酒的团伙,请看本报昨日的报道:
Shenzhen police busted a ring that was selling cheap liquor disguised as expensive foreign brands. The seized counterfeit liquor had a market value of about 20 million yuan (US$3.17 million).
At a press conference Tuesday, police said 19 suspects had been seized, six of them having been approved for arrest.
Police acted on a clue provided by whistleblowers Jan. 12. After a five-month investigation police stormed three sites being used to store the fake liquor and closed five shops selling the liquor in Longgang District.
报道中的counterfeit liquor就是“假酒”,counterfeit可作名词、形容词和动词,是“假冒、仿造、赝品”的意思。Liquor就是“烈酒”。例如:
The counterfeit bank notes bear obvious distinctions and people can learn the difference.
这些假币特征比较明显,人们可以分辨出来。
