Nearsighted Date

达芬奇家具“欺骗消费者”
在东莞生产，拉到意大利贴个洋标签，再运回国内，就摇身一变成为高档进口家具，单品价格动辄数十万。达芬奇家具“出国一日游”近日被曝光后，引起消费者的声讨，而其老总竟哭诉创业艰难，称家具原产地标错，拒绝退货，更引起消费者的强烈指责。
请看《中国日报》的报道：
A retailer of international brand furniture， which has recently been suspected of selling poor-quality fake foreign products at high prices， has insisted it does not play foul with buyers but has admitted “faults” in its employees sales tactics.
国际家具品牌“达芬奇”的某零售商坚称没有欺骗消费者，但承认职员的销售策略“有误”。该品牌涉嫌高价出售低质假冒洋货。
文中的play foul with buyers就是指“欺骗消费者”，play foul一般用来指比赛中的犯规行为，foul play用作名词就是“犯规动作”，或者引申为“不公平的行为”。例如：He was booked by the referee for foul play。（他因动作犯规而被裁判记下姓名。）
与foul play相对的就是fair play了，从by fair means or foul（不择手段，千方百计）这个习惯用法中我们也可以看出fair和foul的这种对应关系。
达芬奇家具号称使用高档纯实木制作，但某些家具采用的实为high density board（高密度板）。消费者送检的double bed（双人床）、TV table（电视柜）等产品均存在严重质量问题。
