英文:pyramid scheme (n.)
說明:又稱「金字塔式騙局」。老鼠會在大多數國家都是非法的。至於合法的「多層次傳銷」,英文叫做 multi-level marketing,經常縮寫為 MLM。
例句:
- That’s a pyramid scheme! Don’t fall for it! (那是老鼠會!別受騙上當!)
- Quite a few people think that multi-level marketing (MLM) is, in reality, the legalized version of the pyramid scheme. (相當多的人認為,多層次傳銷實際上是合法版的老鼠會)
