　　正如所給的圖畫(huà)所描繪的，我國(guó)社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)正在迅速發(fā)展，就像一輛高速行駛的卡車(chē)。但是公眾驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)，越來(lái)越多的假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品嚴(yán)重地阻礙了我國(guó)市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。消費(fèi)者必須經(jīng)常謹(jǐn)慎地去購(gòu)買(mǎi)他們所需的貨物或服務(wù)，否則他們會(huì)落入制假人所設(shè)的陷阱。

　　毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品極其有害.首先,它們危害人民的健康,引發(fā)了許多傷害事故.例如,偽劣藥品不僅使病人惡化,而且往往會(huì)威脅病人的生命,更糟的是，導(dǎo)致病人的死亡。其次，假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品通常廉價(jià)出售。在許多情況下，它們有干擾了我國(guó)正常的經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序，影響了許多高質(zhì)量產(chǎn)品的銷(xiāo)路。這在很大程度上阻礙了我國(guó)社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的健康發(fā)展，并損害了我們國(guó)家的利益。因此，我們可以說(shuō)，假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品是我們健康經(jīng)濟(jì)中的一顆“毒瘤”，對(duì)此必須盡快清除。

　　依我看，必須采取若干措施來(lái)與假冒偽劣產(chǎn)品斗爭(zhēng)。一方面，制假者必須依法嚴(yán)懲。另一方面，由于市場(chǎng)的日益復(fù)雜化消費(fèi)者常會(huì)遇到欺詐行為。雖然有法律保護(hù)消費(fèi)者，但是沒(méi)有足夠數(shù)量的執(zhí)法者來(lái)處理市場(chǎng)的全部流弊。所以，消費(fèi)者應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)辨別真假。只有這樣，消費(fèi)者才能維護(hù)他們的合法權(quán)益

　　As the picture given depicts, the socialist market-oriented economy in our country is developing rapidly, just like a truck running at a high speed. But the general public is surprised to find that there are more and more fake and inferior products seriously hampering the expansion of our marker economy. Consumers have to be very careful in purchasing goods and services they need; otherwise they will fall into the traps set by the illegal manufacturers who make fake and inferior products.

　　There is no doubt that fake and inferior products are extremely harmful. In the first place, they endanger people’s health, giving rise to a lot of injury accidents. For instance, inferior-quality medicines not only aggravate a patient’s condition, but also tend to threaten his life and, what’s worse, to result in his death. Secondly, fake and inferior products are usually sold on the cheap. In many cases they interfere with the normal economic order in our country, affecting the market of many high-quality goods. This in a great degree, hinders the development of our socialist market economy and harms the interests of our state. Therefore, we can say that fake and inferior products are a dangerous “tumor” in our healthy economy, which must be cut away as soon possible.

　　In my opinion, several strong measures should be adopted to fight against fake and inferior products. On the one hand, those who make them must be severely punished by the law. On the other hand, due to the growing complexity of the market, consumers are often faced with deceptive practices. Although there are laws designed to protect consumers, there is not a sufficient number of law enforcers to cover all the abuses of the marketplace. Hence, consumers should learn to discern between true and false. Only in this way can they defend their own legal rights and interests.
