Nowadays it can be hard to tell if a product is the genuine article or a knockoff.如今很难判断一个产品是正品还是仿品。The vodka was the genuine article.这种伏特加酒是正品。The caviar was the real McCoy too - not the stuff we buy in the supermarket at home.鱼子酱也是正品——不是我们家在当地超市里买的那些东西。Those cowboy boots sure look like the genuine article.这双牛仔靴看上去的确像是货真价实的正品。
