凡是跟侵权以及学术不端行为(academic misconduct)相关的“抄袭”在英文中一律用plagiarism表示,其动词形式为plagiarize,如,plagiarize other's work(剽窃、抄袭他人的作品)。个人履历中的“学历造假”则可用fabricate academic credential来表示。说到抄袭,我们自然会想到近几年热议的“山寨”,市场上卖的“山寨名牌”可以用knockoff或者copycat表示,比如,that so-called new product was just a copycat of their rival’s latest product(那个所谓的新产品只不过是山寨了对手的新品而已)。
