<< review queue entry 37987 - submitted by 'slacka' >> When I go shopping at the electronic market in Shenzhen, this is the term all the salesman use to describe genuine products. http://baike.baidu.com/view/558242.htm defines it as a genuine product Google has about 70,500,000 results for "原装" Editor: Baidu does say "genuine product", but their English translations are unreliable. In this case, it's not too far off, but 原装 is not a product, but a description of the origins of a product. More usefully, Baidu also says ~ 所谓原装，就是指一件产品，或者事物，是原厂生产，并非由委外或其他授权的厂家联合组装而成的。 A couple of interesting examples ~ 「我們當時是拿著台胞證在賣茶，」陳志任笑著說，除了用台胞證證明自己來自台灣外，還要在茶箱中塞台灣的報紙，這樣 才能取信於人，證明茶是台灣進口的原裝貨。 "In those days, we carried 'Taiwan-compatriot' identification when we sold tea," laughs Chen. He explains that to convince their customers that they and their tea were from Taiwan they not only had to carry the IDs but also to stuff Taiwanese newspapers in amongst the tea in the tea chests. 當12位穿著工作雨衣，皮膚黝黑，甚至口中還嚼著檳榔的「原裝」漁夫，在他們熟悉的工作環境裡與總統寒暄握手，比肩合 照，果然新鮮、奇特又十分壯觀，一時傳為各大媒體搶刊的經典照片。 As an example, one might point to the rare sight of 12 real-life fishermen, clad in their raingear, with their tanned complexions and some still chewing on betel nuts, chatting, shaking hands, and taking pictures shoulder to shoulder with the president in their everyday work environment. This fresh and unique scene very quickly made headlines in the media. |
