广东的一位蔡女士发现最近家里的米饭“不要嚼”,等她把“大米”从嘴里拿出来凑近一看,才看清原来自家的大米都是用卫生纸卷的。蔡女士后来告诉警方,她是在街边小贩手里买的,当时这个小贩保证他的大米是本地大米,而且“天然无化学成分”,从某种意义上说,这个小贩确实没有说谎。

A woman has claimed that small pieces of rolled up paper(pictured) are being sold as rice on the streets of China,according to local news sources.
姑且不谈论这条新闻的真实性。但想一想,在中国,好像很多事情没什么不可能!以前也听说过什么大米是用胶做的,根本嚼不动,也根本不能当成米饭吃呀!还听说过市场有卖假的猪耳朵,也就是根本不是猪的耳朵;这些无良商家,真是中国人自己害自己人。这类“假货”用英文该怎么说呢?
