【BEC商务英语热点聚焦】达芬奇家具披“洋”皮卖国货

　　DaVinci Furniture, foreign brands made in China
　　
　　DaVinci Furniture Ltd, famous for its luxury furniture, claims all of its products were manufactured and imported from Italy and "made of high-class pollution-free wooden material", according to the China Central Television (CCTV).
　　如中央电视台所说，达芬奇家具以价格昂贵著称，宣称其产品由意大利生产、进口，且使用“高级无污染实木材料”。

　　While this company has recently been suspected its products were not 100 percent Italian-made. Rather, some were manufactured by domestic contractors.
　　然而，近期这家公司被怀疑其产品并不像它们宣称的那样是100%意大利生产的。甚至，其销售的部分家具是由国内家具厂家生产的。

　　Panzhuang Xiuhua, general manager of Da Vinci Furniture Co Ltd, sheds tears when recalling her previous efforts to expand the business during a press conference in Beijing on Jul 13th.
　　达芬奇家具有限公司总经理潘庄秀华，7月13日在北京召开的记者招待会上，声泪俱下诉说了创业史。

　　The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has asked its Shanghai branches to launch an investigation into Da Vinci's import and export records.
　　目前，中国国家质量监督检验检疫总局已经要求其上海分局调查达芬奇公司的进出口记录。

　　The Da Vinci scandal is the latest in a series of cases that have seen domestically-produced goods masquerading as high-end overseas brands.
　　达芬奇丑闻是中国近期一系列国产品牌冒充国际高端品牌事件最新的一件。

　　“进口”与“进口”的区别

　　根据上海出入境检疫局的调查，达芬奇采购的国产家具先出口到上海保税物流区，再进口到达芬奇在上海的仓库，这样“一倒腾”，国货变洋货，甚至不用“远渡重洋”，出口到海外。

　　为何进了保税区就算进口？据了解，作为承担国际贸易功能的保税区，能便利进行转口贸易。货物在保税区与境内保税区外之间的进出，可视为“进口”、“出口”。因此，这种“进口”的行为和普通消费者理解的“进口”是有较大出入的。（新东方在线整理）
