Translation

A.TranslatethefollowingparagraphintoChinese.

抄襲是指在沒(méi)有適當(dāng)說(shuō)明材料原始出處的情況下，引用別人的觀點(diǎn)、信息、語(yǔ)言或者著作。抄襲行為的根本特點(diǎn)是一種欺騙的成分——試圖將抄襲來(lái)的東西妄稱為自己的原創(chuàng)。抄襲與侵害版權(quán)并非完全一回事，違反版權(quán)法才談得上侵害版權(quán)。如大多數(shù)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)方面的術(shù)語(yǔ)一樣，抄襲也是一個(gè)現(xiàn)代概念，不大適用于中世紀(jì)以及古代的著作。
