Donny在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是吳瓊要問的是：掛羊頭賣狗肉。

Donny:Hey 吳瓊, 你看，買這個可以贏200塊現金獎！

WQ:200塊?！ 哪有這種好事？I mean....It's too...too 什么來著？

Donny:It's too good to be true!

WQ:沒錯，It's too good to be true. 哪有這種好事? 你仔細看看，抽獎細則里一定有什么附加條件。Donny, 這種附加條件英文怎么說？

Donny:It's called "catch." You can say:It's too good to be true. What's the catch?

WQ:Oh, catch, C-A-T-C-H, catch. What's the catch? 就是“有什么附加條件”？

Donny:對。Now 吳瓊, tell me how I can win this.

WQ:你就別想了! 你看，你要先花五百塊買這件產品，然后再去抽獎，中獎率千分之三！這根本就是掛羊頭賣狗肉！

Donny:掛羊頭賣狗肉！這種說法好，英文里叫：false advertising!

WQ:假廣告？沒錯，就這意思。你別被忽悠啊！

Donny:I can't believe I almost got bamboozled!

WQ:Bamboo...竹子什么?

Donny:是 Bamboozle, B-A-M-B-O-O-Z-L-E, 就是騙人。

WQ:換句話說，Bamboozle 就是忽悠別人嘍?

Donny:Exactly. I almost got bamboozled. 我差點就被忽悠了。

WQ:是啊，不是說 There is no such thing as a free lunch. 天下沒有免費的午餐嘛!

Donny:Yea, you're right! Let's see what you've learned today.

第一，哪有那么好的事是 it's too good to be true;

第二，隱含的附加條件是 catch, as in "What's the catch?"

第三，掛羊頭賣狗肉是 false advertising;

第四，忽悠是 bamboozle!
