If you buy something and then find out that it is of poor quality, you can also say you were ripped off. : s2 b& s0 [; {( Q. n , b% t5 G4 ~' S2 }( rL: 噢，买了东西后发现质量很差也可以说to be riffed off。对了，我上 个月从网上买了一部DVD电影，可是我在看电影的时候好几次都卡住 了，害得我连结尾都没看上。 A8 v7 S) w% J6 u: M8 O, h 3 w2 @& I& Y& CM: I guess I'm not the only one who got ripped off. - t w; `4 O) Q.
