The resumes of about 100 Chinese "elites" have been revised on Hudong Wiki, a pilot Chinese-language encyclopedia website, after the former president of Microsoft China, Tang Jun, was accused of fabricating his academic credentials.
前微軟中國區(qū)總裁唐駿被揭露學歷造假之后,互動百科網(wǎng)站上約一百名中國“精英”的簡歷被修改。
文中的fabricate academic credentials就是指“學歷造假”,fabricate就是指“編造、虛構(gòu)、偽造”,后面可以直接加捏造的事物,比如fabricate an evidence(捏造證據(jù)),That's sheer fabrication.(這完全是憑空捏造。)Academic credentials泛指學歷,degree則用來指各種學位,比如bachelor's degree(學士學位)。
揭露唐駿的方舟子以打假著稱,被稱為science cop(科學警察),專門揭露pseudo-science(偽科學)以及academic misconduct(學術(shù)不端行為)。除了假文憑之外,我們平時還需提防fake note(假鈔)、counterfeit goods(假貨)、還有fake drug(假藥)。
