Jessica 在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是于苗要问的：山寨

YM:Jessica, 你看我这块儿手表怎么样？

Jessica：LV 的! Nice! Did you win the lottery?

YM:中彩票？我哪有那么好的运气！这表是山寨的！

Jessica:Ah? What do you mean?

YM:山寨，就是， 啊not a real LV，a fake one

Jessica:Oh, I see! The watch is a knockoff! k-n-o-c-k-o-f-f, knockoff.

YM:哦~~~原来山寨版的假名牌儿就是 knockoff.

Jessica:Right. 朋友都告诉我 Xiushui Market is the place to go for designer knockoffs.

YM:没错，好多人都特爱去秀水买假名牌！对了，我带上这假LV，觉得自己特有明星范儿，别人也说我是山寨版的章子怡，那我就是 knockoff Zhang Ziyi 喽?

Jessica:No, in that case, you say you're a Zhang Ziyi lookalike!

YM:lookalike, look后面跟alike，就是山寨明星脸! 哦，Jessica, 我早就想告诉你， You're a Lady GaGa lookalike.

Jessica:Thanks! I'm flattered!

YM:对了，待会儿我要去看话剧，叫作“阿凡提¨达”

Jessica:阿凡达? Avatar, the movie?

YM:不是，这个话剧要模仿Avatar，搞笑的，是山寨版的阿凡达。

Jessica:Oh! You mean a spoof. That means you will imitate the movie's style, but in a humorous or sarcastic way.

YM:原来这种有点恶搞的山寨版艺术作品叫 spoof.

Jessica:That's right! s-p-o-o-f, spoof.

YM:我来总结一下啊，山寨版的假名牌是knockoff; 山寨明星脸是lookalike; 山寨的艺术作品是spoof。

A: 原来山寨叫 knockoff, 听我表姐说，现在北京大街上人人都背山寨的 LV. LV knockoffs are everywhere on the street!

B:我就不明白为什么要跟别人背一样的! I'd rather have something that's unique and one of a kind.
