China's police departments will launch a 30-day campaign starting Wednesday to hunt down fugitives1 who are suspected of having committed a crime known as fake invoice2 fraud.
中国公安部门将于本周三起拓展为期30天的行动,追捕假发票诈骗案件的犯罪嫌疑人。
文中的fake invoice fraud就是指假发票诈骗,fake invoice就是假发票。为了预防收到fake invoice,买家可以进行invoice verification(发票校验),比如仔细核对invoice stamp(发票专用章)与invoice date(发票日期),或拨打查看电话等等。
Fake invoice和fake note(假钞),与fake / counterfeit3 goods(假货)一样让人憎恨,不只损害了买家权益,还扰乱了市场秩序。现在有不少人由于价格缘由,购买parallel import/grey product(水货),水平同样得不到保证。
那样,大家常说的开发票该如何表达呢?可以直接用invoice这个词。比如make/issue an invoice,或者大家也可以直接用invoice的动词形式,给某人开某物的发票就是to invoice someone for something,比如:Retailers are obliged to invoice customers for everything they purchased. (零售商有义务为客户购买的任何商品开具发票。)
