常见误用提醒

使用 bootleg:He bootlegs the alcohol legally. → He bootlegs the alcohol illegally. (bootleg 本身含义为非法活动,不应与 legally 搭配。正确用法应强调其非法性,如使用 illegally 或避免矛盾修饰。)

使用 bootleg:This is a bootleg from the original company. → This is a bootleg copy of the original product. (bootleg 指盗版或未经授权的复制品,通常不是来自原公司。正确表达应说明是原产品的盗版版本,以避免混淆来源。)

使用 counterfeit:This is a counterfeit product, but it looks real. → This is a counterfeit product; it looks real but is fake. (错误用法中逻辑矛盾,counterfeit 本身意味着假货,不能说“但是看起来真”。正确用法应直接说明它是伪造品,外观可能逼真。)
