Mary: Who got ripped off?

Joe: Big time! A hacker broke into the company's files and got all her personal information. You really think it's completely safe?

Mary: Well, maybe not 100 percent. I did hear about some tricks people use.

Joe: Now we're getting to the truth.

Mary: There are shills. A shill is someone who bids up the price of their own sale.

Joe: See? And I bet that's easy to do online. Everybody's anonymous.

★ big time 很多，非常多。本文的"Big time!"承接上句的意思，是指明義的朋友所損失的比錢被偷走更多

★ hacker (n.) 黑客

★ shill (n.) 炒手。這種人多出現(xiàn)在拍賣商、攤販或賭場(chǎng)內(nèi)，被雇用來引誘客人或買家價(jià)錢越出越高

★ bid up 競(jìng)出高價(jià); 抬價(jià)

★ anonymous (a.) 匿名的

瑪麗:她的錢被騙啦??

喬:不只呢!有個(gè)黑客侵入了網(wǎng)絡(luò)公司的計(jì)算機(jī)檔案，取得她全部的個(gè)人數(shù)據(jù)。你真的覺得這種交易方式十分安全嗎?

瑪麗:嗯，或許不是百分之百。我的確也聽說一些人的小手段。

喬:事實(shí)越來越明顯了。

瑪麗:有些人是炒手。炒手就是那種把自己拍賣的東西價(jià)錢哄抬炒高的人。

喬:看到?jīng)]?我敢賭這在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上做有多容易。每個(gè)人都是匿名的。
