At present,piracy is becoming unprecedentedly visible in China,Any product,like tape,CD and hi-tech device can be copied,not to mention book.Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves,people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores. It has been widely believed that piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers,inventors and authors in many ways.To start with,pirated products often cost much less than the original ones,so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality.The original ones,on the contrary,sell poorly.As far as pirated books are concerned,they do great harm to the authors/ reputation due to their misprints.In the long run,pirated products may also have negative impacts on customers since those legitimate producers enthuslasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more indined to purchase pirated products. In my opinion,its high time that the govement called on everyone to start the battle against piracy.Besides,as customers,we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products.And law should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further.Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers. 参考翻译： 目前，中国的盗版现象空前的猖狂。任何诸如磁带，CD及其他的高科技产品都可以被盗版，更不用说书籍了。一本新书刚出版没多久，盗版书就在书店销售了，这种现象人们已经见怪不怪了。 |
