山寨大黄鸭遍布全国各地设计者斥抄袭太愚蠢

Perhaps it was inevitable. Given the huge popularity of the six-story, yellow rubber ducky that's been bobbing around in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, companies in a number of mainland Chinese cities have decided to copy it.

也许这是无法避免的结果，这只6层楼高的黄色橡皮鸭人气之高，虽然目前正版的大黄鸭还在香港的维多利亚港游荡，但并不妨碍中国内地的许多城市抄袭。

New ducks have popped up in the central city of Wuhan, the ancient city of Xi'an, the northern port city of Tianjin and Hengdian, a town in Zhejiang province that is home to a massive movie studio.

中部城市武汉、古都西安、北方港口城市天津和浙江省的影视基地横店，都相继涌现出了山寨版的“大黄鸭”。

The duck doubles have raised questions over copyright issues, according to China Daily. When contacted by China Daily, the companies that set up the ducks in Tianjin and Wuhan "declined to reveal their motives, or say if they had the authorization to do so."

根据《中国日报》的报道，山寨“大黄鸭” 也引发中国国内对版权问题的讨论。《中国日报》的记者联系了天津和武汉两地的大黄鸭负责公司，而他们都“拒绝透露自己的动机，也未透露是否获得授权。”

The man behind the original duck in Hong Kong, Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, told The Wall Street Journalthat he had no copyright agreements with any of the knockoff duck-makers on the mainland.
