今天我们要学的词是hoax。 Hoax, 骗局、恶作剧。美国警方证实,上星期的“气球男孩”事件是一起事先策划的恶作剧, "The police have confirmed that the "balloon boy" incident was a hoax." 俄亥俄州一名女子在一家服装商店声称中了六和彩,愿意为所有五百美元以下的消费买单。"It turned out to be a hoax and caused angry customers to loot the store," 结果证明是一场骗局,受骗的消费者一气之下,洗劫了这家服装商店。
德克萨斯一名美军士兵为开小差,设计绑架案,结果被判三年徒刑, "A Texas soldier was sentenced to three years in prison for a kidnapping hoax." 好的,今天我们学习的词是hoax...
