Sample Sentences
嘘!张哥说的没错,这些的确是A货。不仔细看的话是看不出有什么两样的。A货从材料、设计、缝纫等都和正品是一样的。不过,它们多少都是有瑕疵的。比如纽扣不对称、商标装错等。按照规定,这些服装都该被销毁的,但是,服装厂里有些人把这些残次品偷偷卖了。A货服装一是价钱便宜、二是款式新、三是质量好、四是有品牌,所以在低端市场很好卖。
Shh! What Brother Zhang said is true. These are actually rejected merchandise. If you don't look carefully, then you can't see the difference. Rejected merchandise is the same as genuine merchandise in terms of materials, design and sewing. However, they all have some small imperfections. For instance, the buttons aren't symmetric or the labels are incorrect. According to regulations, these clothes should all be destroyed, but there are some people in clothing factories who sneak these defective goods out and sell them. Rejected merchandise are one, cheap; two, the newest style; three, good quality; and four, branded. So they're good to sell in low-end markets.
