陷阱
⚠️artificial vs. fake：人造替代品 vs. 欺骗性假货
The handbag was made from artificial leather, which is more affordable and increasingly difficult to distinguish from the genuine material.
✗
artificial leather = fake leather（人造皮革就是假皮革，含欺骗，应改用 fake）
✓
artificial leather（人造皮革/仿皮）是合法替代品，明确标注为人造材料，不含欺骗义；fake（假的）含欺骗：fake leather 暗示冒充真皮（fraudulent）；此句明确说 more affordable（更实惠）且难以区分，是正面介绍替代材料，用 artificial 正确；× fake（含欺骗义，语境不符）
这个手提包由人造皮革制成，更实惠，且越来越难以与真皮区分。（artificial = 人造替代品，无欺骗义；fake = 欺骗性假货）
⚠️artificial intelligence 不缩写为 the AI（加 the 时注意上下文）
✗
Researchers are increasingly concerned about the ethical implications of an artificial intelligence that can mimic human emotions.
研究人员越来越担忧能够模拟人类情感的人工智能的伦理影响。（AI 作为领域不可数：× an artificial intelligence → ✓ artificial intelligence）
artificial intelligence 作为技术领域不可数（× an artificial intelligence as a field）；若指一个具体的 AI 系统/程序可说 an AI / an artificial intelligence system；作为领域：× an artificial intelligence → ✓ artificial intelligence
✓
Researchers are increasingly concerned about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence that can mimic human emotions.
研究人员越来越担忧能够模拟人类情感的人工智能的伦理影响。
