33. The Harm of Fake Commodities

假货的危害

With the rapid economic development, fake commodities have rushed into our life and greatly affected the normal market order. As can be seen, fake commodities are greatly harmful to both the consumers and the manufacturers.

随着经济的快速发展，假货也充斥到我们的生活并极大地影响了正常的市场秩序。我们可以看到，假货不仅对消费者，也对生产者都带来了很大的危害。

But why have fake commodities become so common? For one thing, some businessmen take risks producing and selling fake goods just for the purpose of making money, and some customers buy those products because of the lower prices. For another thing, the punishment for producing fake goods is not severe enough to stop the violators. Therefore, today's market has been flooded with fake brands of food, clothing and medicine, etc.

但是假货为什么如此盛行？一方面，一些商人一味赚钱而不惜冒险生产和销售假货，一些消费者也由于图便宜而购买假货；另一方面，对于假货的处罚不足以使违规者停止造假。因此，如今的市场充斥着诸如食品，服装和药品之类的假货。

Fake commodities have left thousands of people in confusion and panic: they no longer have a sense of safety. How terrible! I think it is high time we took some measures to clean up our society.

假货使得许许多多的人感到困惑和惊慌：他们不再有安全感。真是太可怕了！我认为现在正是我们采取措施净化社会的时候了。
