美国一上诉法庭判摇滚天团齐柏林飞船的创作曲《天国的阶梯》被控抄袭案不成立。请看本报昨日的报道: Led Zeppelin has triumphed in a long-running copyright dispute after a U.S. appeals court ruled they did not steal the opening riff in “Stairway to Heaven.” The British rock legends were accused in 2014 of ripping off a song called “Taurus” by the U.S. band Spirit. “Taurus” was written in 1968, three years before “Stairway to Heaven.” 报道中的rip off是“剽窃”的意思,这个词组还有“偷窃、敲诈、抢劫”的意思,名词是rip-off (山寨)。例如: The author was accused of ripping off the work of another. 这个作家被指控剽窃他人作品。 The thief ripped off some jewelry when no one was looking. 小偷趁人不备偷了些珠宝。 |
