An Australian woman who paid ￡800 for two new Apple iPhones lost her money when she opened the boxes - and found two real green apples inside.
一位澳大利亞女子花了800英鎊買了兩部新的蘋果iPhone手機(jī)，在收到盒子的時(shí)候卻發(fā)現(xiàn)里面只有兩顆真正的青蘋果，這名女子的錢就這么打水漂了。
The 21-year-old Brisbane woman had placed an advertisement in an online buy-and-sell site saying she was looking to purchase a number of iPhones.
這名21歲的女子來(lái)自澳大利亞?wèn)|部城市布里斯班，她在一個(gè)在線購(gòu)物網(wǎng)站發(fā)廣告表示自己想求購(gòu)幾部iPhone手機(jī)。
Police in the Queensland town of Upper Mt Gravatt, near Brisbane, said that not long after the
advert was placed in the Gumtree site a woman called and said she had two Apples for sale.
昆士蘭Upper Mt Gravatt 小鎮(zhèn)上的警方表示，廣告發(fā)布在這個(gè)叫Gumtree的網(wǎng)站后，一名女子打電話過(guò)來(lái)聲稱自己有兩部蘋果手機(jī)要出售。
Senior
Constable Jess Hopkin of the Upper Mt Gravatt Crime Prevention Unit said the two women arranged to meet at a McDonald's outlet, where the transaction took place.
Upper Mt Gravatt預(yù)防犯罪機(jī)構(gòu)的高級(jí)警員杰西-霍普金說(shuō)，這兩名女子安排在麥當(dāng)勞會(huì)面進(jìn)行交易。
The purchaser handed over $1500, the equivalent of ￡800, and was given two new iPhone boxes in return, the Quest community newspaper of Queensland reported today. Her mistake was to not look inside.
根據(jù)昆士蘭當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙的報(bào)道，買家付了1500美元（約為800英鎊），拿到了兩個(gè)新的iPhone手機(jī)盒，但她犯了個(gè)嚴(yán)重的錯(cuò)就是沒(méi)檢查盒子里面。
On returning home the young woman opened the boxes and found to her horror that they contained real apples.
一回到家打開盒子，她很驚恐地發(fā)現(xiàn)盒子里裝著的竟然是真正的蘋果。
Senior Constable Hopkin warned people to be wary when they buy anything online.'If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. It's really just common sense.' she said.
霍普金警員警告大家網(wǎng)購(gòu)時(shí)需謹(jǐn)慎。她表示：“如果你覺(jué)得某件事兒太好了，好得非常不真實(shí)，那十有八九就是假的，這真的是常識(shí)問(wèn)題?！?
Commentators writing on an online site weren't letting the buyer off the hook with their criticism.
不過(guò)購(gòu)物網(wǎng)站上的評(píng)論者們可不會(huì)這么輕易放過(guò)這個(gè)倒霉的買家，他們對(duì)這位姑娘大加批評(píng)。
'I don't know anyone that would hand over $1500 to a stranger without checking the item,' wrote one man. 'Besides, you can buy a brand new iPhone5 for $700. So if this is a true story then I'm sorry but she deserved it!'
一位男子這樣寫道：“我從來(lái)還沒(méi)見過(guò)這么傻的人，不檢查物品就把1500美元交給一個(gè)陌生人。再說(shuō)，現(xiàn)在一部全新iPhone5手機(jī)售價(jià)也只要700美元。如果這是個(gè)真故事，那只能說(shuō)這姑娘活該了！”
