[00:59.40]Well, yes ...there was something actually.
[01:01.00]事實上這里有些事情。
[01:02.60]What I really couldn't cope with in Britain was the supermarkets. Supermarkets? Why?

[01:39.50]Yes, that's right. So there was no decision involved.
[01:41.66]沒錯。沒有其他有關的 選擇。
[01:43.82]So, you think that was a good thing?Well, not exactly. I mean,
[01:46.12]你認為那是一件好事嗎？ 不是很確切。我是指，
[01:48.42]of course it's good to have a little competi- tion between brands.
[01:49.88]當然在品牌之間存在一 些小的競爭是好事
[01:51.34]I mean, then customers will choose the best one and that will have an improve ...
[01:54.40]消費者會選擇最好的， 其他的商品也會得到 改善...
[01:57.46]a beneficial effect on the others.I mean, the quality will improve if everyone buys the

[02:04.91]best.Mm. So, what's wrong with supermarke- ts? They give you the chance to
[02:08.15]超級市場出什么問題了？ 它們提供一個機會
[02:11.39]choose the best make, don't they?Ye ... es, but there's just too much choice.
[02:13.80]選擇最好的物品，不是 嗎？但是這里有太多的 選擇。

[02:18.03]當你在英國進入一個 超市的時候，
[02:19.85]that is ... to buy washing powder, you're faced with a very long row of different
[02:22.01]去買洗衣粉，你面對 一排長長的不同牌子的 洗衣粉。
[02:24.17]brands. And it's just so confusing! I mean, you just don't know which one to take. So,
[02:27.10]這太混亂了 你不知道 要買哪一個。
[02:30.04]you try to read all the labels ... to find out the diff ...
[02:31.37]你要試著看所有的標簽.. 去發(fā)現(xiàn)
[02:32.70]what's the difference between them all.Oh, I see. Yes, that could take a long time.
[02:35.99]它們之間的差別是什么。 我知道，那會需要很長 的時間。
[02:39.29]Well, yes, and the other problem is that we are under so much pressure
[02:41.77]是的，其他的問題是 在這么多的壓力下
[02:44.25]in Britain to buy the right product for the environment. You know,
[02:46.02]要根據(jù)環(huán)境買到正確的 商品。你知道，
[02:47.78]the detergent that pollutes the least. Oh, pressure from who? Well, social pressure.
[02:50.91]買污染最小的清潔濟。 來自誰的壓力？社會壓力
[02:54.05]You see, on the shelf you'll see 'green detergents'--
[02:55.59]你知道，在架子上你將 看到“綠色清潔濟”－
[02:57.14]that means they don't contain harmful chemicals that ... you know ...
[02:58.69]那是指他們不能容忍有害 的化學制品
[03:00.24]pollute the environment.Ah, I see. And if you buy the harmful ones ...
[03:02.58]污染環(huán)境。如果你買了 有害的商品...
[03:04.92]without knowing, I mean, because we all want to protect the environment ...
[03:06.55]在不知道的情況下，因為 我們都想保護環(huán)境...
[03:08.19]then you'll get other shoppers glaring at you accusingly,
[03:09.67]然后你會看到其他購物 者責難的眼光，
[03:11.14]like you've just committed a terrible crime!
[03:12.65]就象你剛剛犯了一個很 嚴重的錯誤
[03:14.17]Or friends will see it in your home and say something like,
[03:15.70]或者朋友們會在你的家里 看到，然后說一些這樣 的話
[03:17.23]'Don't you know that damages the environme- nt?' And you feel so guilty!Oh dear!
[03:19.91]你不知道那會污染環(huán)境 嗎？你會有犯罪感 哦， 天阿
[03:22.59]So, you want to look for the 'green detergents' ...
[03:24.17]于是，你想要找“綠色 清潔濟”
[03:25.76]and now there are different ones for washing whites
[03:27.00]現(xiàn)在這里有不同的洗 白色
[03:28.24]and for washing coloured clothes ... so, you see,we have to make that decision too
[03:30.62]和洗彩色衣服的產(chǎn)品.. 我們也必須要做決定。
[03:32.99]But what about the price?Ah, well, that's of course another consideration ...
[03:36.09]但是價格呢？那當然是 另一個要考慮的
[03:39.18]can you afford to be green and buy differe- nt powders for differ- ent clothes?
[03:41.13]你能負擔的起為不同的 衣服買不同的綠色洗衣粉 嗎？
[03:43.07]Oh, and by the way, it's not acceptable to buy powder anymore ... now we ...
[03:45.45]順便說一句，買更多的 洗衣粉是接受不了的... 現(xiàn)在我們
[03:47.82]we have to buy liquid, as it pollutes less too.Mm ... I see your point.
[03:50.32]我們不得不買液體，因為 它污染少一些。我知道 你的觀點了。
[03:52.83]Can't you just pick the brand you know ... like ... er ... you know,
[03:55.20]你不能只選擇你認識 的牌子，象是.. .你 知道
[03:57.58]a familiar brand name? Yes, but there are so many brands now. Many of them are familiar,
[04:00.48]一個熟悉的牌子的名字？ 但是現(xiàn)在這里有太多的 商標。許多是熟悉的，
[04:03.37]because you see their adverts on the TV all the time. Mind you,
[04:05.50]因為你經(jīng)常從電視的 廣告里看到。提醒你，
[04:07.62]another point is that many of these brand names actually belong to the same company !
[04:10.01]另一個問題是許多商標 的名稱實際上屬于同一 個公司
[04:12.41]Oh dear,how confusing! Yes, it is confusing! So you see, even now, I sometimes just
[04:16.15]哦，天阿，好亂阿 太糊涂了 所以你看到 了，即使現(xiàn)在，我有時候
[04:19.90]stand there unable to choose,and I think, 'Where is the White Cat?
[04:22.02]只是站在這里不能選擇， 我想，白貓在哪里？

[05:27.54]exactly what our fights as buyers are. Yes, certainly. Well, first of all,
[05:30.54]通過確切地描述作為 消費者我們反對的是什么 來開始。當然可以，首先
[05:33.55]when you buy a product ... any sort of goods ...
[05:34.88]當你買一個產(chǎn)品的時候， 無論哪一種貨物
[05:36.21]it should agree with the description of it. That means, if it's food, for example,
[05:38.82]它應該與描述的一致。 那是說，如果它是食物， 例如，
[05:41.43]especially packaged food, then all the ingredients have to be listed correctly on
[05:44.02]尤其是包裝的食物，所 有的成分都必須正確地 列出
[05:46.61]the container.That's so that the buyer knows exactly what he or she is buying,

[06:19.80]That means they could take the manufacturer to court?
[06:21.53]是說他們會把廠商告上 法庭嗎？
[06:23.26]Yes, and demand compensation ..usually a certain sum of money worked out by medical
[06:26.50]是的，而且要求賠償... 通常是一定數(shù)目的金錢
[06:29.74]experts and lawyers... for the damage caused to their health.
[06:31.34]用來支付醫(yī)藥費和律師 費.. .對他們的健康造成 的毀壞。
[06:32.94]So food products must be fully described on the label of the container.

[06:41.04]我想它的質量肯定不錯？ 哦是的，當然。食物必須 是新鮮的，
[06:44.67]or at least without any decay, and it must be free from contamination

[07:07.14]食品衛(wèi)生局會做這些， 并得到一份名單
[07:09.37]all the shops to which the product has been supplied. You see,
[07:11.11]是廠家所供應的全部商店 的名單。你看到了，
[07:12.86]it's in the interest of the manufacturer to help,
[07:14.23]廠商會熱心幫助的，
[07:15.60]as they want to avoid further law cases. You see, you ... the buyer or consumer ...
[07:18.26]因為他們想要避免更多 的法律案件。你知道， 消費者或是買主

[07:41.66]perform some function and you buy it because of that,

[07:44.98]then you have the right to complain if it doesn't perform th- at function correctly.
[07:47.37]然后如果它不能正常 工作，你有權利去抱怨。
[07:49.76]But if you only have the shopkeeper's word, how can you prove that he said that?
[07:52.71]但是如果你只相信店主 的話，你如何證實他說 的呢？
[07:55.67]Yes, it is a tricky thing to prove legally if you only have his word.
[07:58.19]如果你只有他的話，合法 地證實是件狡猾的事情。
[08:00.71]For this reason, you should always make sure you have a written description of

[08:23.37]I suppose to be safe, you should always get the salesperson to demonstrate the
[08:25.74]我想那是安全的，你 應該讓售貨員示范
[08:28.12]product and its working functions before you buy it...
[08:29.59]產(chǎn)品和它的功能，在你 購買以前
[08:31.07]in the shop, that is. Yes, of course.And you should have a guarantee
