What are the shirts made of ?
在美国买美国产品的困难搜寻
如果你去另一个国家,你想买哪类东西呢?
在日本你会买相机吗?在法国买漂亮衣服?或是在瑞士买块手表吗?
无论你会买什么,你也许会认为那些产品一定就是那些国家制造的。
然而,你可能想错了。
康建是一名来自上海的17岁的学生。
去年他去旧金山看望了自己的叔叔婶婶。
他发现了有趣的事,当地商店里的许多产品都是中国制造的。
“我想给我堂弟买辆玩具车。可是尽管多数玩具都是美国的牌子,
但他们都是中国制造的。”不光玩具是中国制造的。
“我想买一双篮球鞋,”他解释道。
“我得逛五六家商店才能找到一双美国制造的!”
他意识到,美国人想不买中国产品几乎不太可能。
他继续说, “事实上那里有很多中国制造的东西 , 如足球、手提包、宠物食品、手机,甚至美国国旗都是中国制造的!”
康建认为中国能制造这些日用品是件好事。
不过,他希望在将来有一天中国更善于制造高科技产品,让世界各地的人们都能买到。

Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in
Switzerland?
No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in
those countries.
However, you could be wrong.
Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai.
Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco.
He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China.
“I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had
American brands, they were made in China.”
Toys are not the only things made in China.
“I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains.
“But I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!”
He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China.
“In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China,
such as footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made
in China!”
Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things.
However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making
high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.
