Rob: Delete! Delete! Delete!
Feifei: 怎么這么生氣，Rob？刪什么呢？What are you deleting?
Rob: Can’t you see? I’m checking and deleting my emails and … all this phishing!
Feifei: I thought you liked fishing, Rob. 你不是特別喜歡釣魚嗎？You always show us pictures of all the big fish you’ve caught.
Rob: No, Feifei. Fishing with an ‘F’ is good but phishing with a ‘ph’ is not!
Feifei: So you are deleting the ‘ph’s? All the spelling mistakes?
Rob: It’s not a spelling mistake. Phishing – with ‘ph’ is one of those words that’s become popular with the internet. It’s the name of a particular kind of fraud on the internet.
Feifei: Fraud?
Rob: Yes. It’s what we say when someone sends you an email pretending to be a reputable company or person hoping that you’ll respond and give them your personal information. They want things like your bank account number, password, that kind of thing.
Feifei: Oh. ‘Phishing, p-h-i-s-h-i-n-g 網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺詐?，F(xiàn)在有些人假扮有信譽的公司或者個人通過發(fā)送電子郵件騙取我們的個人信息，尤其是想獲取我們的銀行賬號和密碼。
Rob: Yes. ‘Phishing’ with ‘ph’ is today’s expression in Authentic Real English.
Feifei: Indeed. 今天《地道英語》里我們要學(xué)習(xí)的短語就是 phishing 網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺詐，而不是 fishing 釣魚。
Rob: Let’s hear some examples of how it’s used.
Examples
Our bank never sends emails to clients asking them to reply to a message confirming their password. I’m afraid you’ve been a victim of phishing, sir.
I’ve just received an email informing me that I won the lottery. They want my bank details to deposit the prize. But I’ve never entered the lottery. This must be phishing!
Rob: So now you know what kind of phishing I was talking about!
Feifei: Yes. They wanted your bank details, but we’re not taking their bait, are we?
Rob: No, we’re not. Definitely not!
Feifei: Hmmm, I think I have some of these phishing emails in my inbox too.
Rob: So let’s get rid of them all! Come on!
Both: Delete! Delete! Delete! Bye!
Rob: Delete!
