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、咳嗽糖浆、宠物食品、鳗鱼、血液稀释剂、汽车零件、猪肉、鸡蛋、蜂蜜、鸡肉、饺子、烹调油以及米—-如果能加以仿冒或污染,就几可确定此事发生在中国。

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.

一连串产品安全丑闻,包括据信造成6名婴儿死亡以及数以千计婴儿生病的婴儿配方奶粉污染事件,已撼动消费者信心,使他们对购买中国制产品持审慎态度,即使这些产品价格往往较便宜。

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.

三聚氰胺丑闻是近来一连串备受瞩目的安全问题中最新一起,这些问题还包括玩具车油漆含铅,以及年初中国制造的血液稀释剂“肝素”因受污染而在美国和德国传出死亡事件,引发全球回收行动。

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.

每次丑闻发生后,北京的反应似乎一成不变:先予以取缔,再在电视上销毁遭污染产品,拘禁数名官员,然后说他们对这个问题“极为关注”。
