Milk, toothpaste, cough syrup, pet food, eels, blood thinner, car parts, pork, eggs, honey, chicken, dumplings, cooking oil and rice — if you can fake it or taint it, you can almost guarantee it’s happened in China.

牛奶、牙膏、咳嗽糖漿、寵物食品、鰻魚、血液稀釋劑、汽車零件、豬肉、雞蛋、蜂蜜、雞肉、餃子、烹調油以及米—-如果能加以仿冒或污染，就幾可確定此事發生在中國。

A string of product safety scandals, including contaminated infant formula that is believed to have killed six babies and sickened thousands of others, have rocked the faith of shoppers, making them wary of buying products made in China despite the often cheaper price tag.

一連串產品安全醜聞，包括據信造成6名嬰兒死亡以及數以千計嬰兒生病的嬰兒配方奶粉污染事件，已撼動消費者信心，使他們對購買中國製產品持審慎態度，即使這些產品價格往往較便宜。

The melamine scandal was the latest in a string of recent high-profile safety problems that included lead paint on toy cars and contaminated Chinese-made blood thinner heparin which was blamed for fatalities in the United States and Germany and prompted a global recall early this year.

三聚氰胺醜聞是近來一連串備受矚目的安全問題中最新一起，這些問題還包括玩具車油漆含鉛，以及年初中國製造的血液稀釋劑「肝素」因受污染而在美國和德國傳出死亡事件，引發全球回收行動。

After each scandal, Beijing seemed to have the same response: launching a crackdown, destroying tainted goods on television, jailing a few officials and saying they “pay great attention” to the problem.

每次醜聞發生後，北京的反應似乎一成不變：先予以取締，再在電視上銷毀遭污染產品，拘禁數名官員，然後說他們對這個問題「極為關注」。
