Strawberries on the Upper Floor Phoenix City Zhuang Zhi Alas! I especially love eating strawberries, but every time I buy them I feel like I’m being cheated. "My friend said with a helpless tone. “Did you get fooled?” Friends around me asked in confusion: “Did you find that the strawberries were not fresh when you bought them home?” “The price you bought was too expensive?” 「妳们难道没有同感吗?」她一脸不悦地反问我:「每次看到超市里卖的草莓,一盒一盒的排列整齐,而且盒子里的草莓也都看起来又大、又红、又新鲜,但回家打开吃了以后,就会发现只有摆在上层的草莓是漂漂亮亮的,而小的、或颜色不鲜艳的就被藏在盒底层,所以总会有一种被骗的感觉。」 我听了笑了笑说:「哎吆!这是做生意的『基本常识』嘛!卖水果的当然要把最好、最美的水果摆在上层,不就是希望能激发妳的购买意愿吗?」 "How can you say you were fooled?" Another friend said disapprovingly: "Although merchants always put strawberries that look big, red, and fresh on the upper floor, the strawberries sold in supermarkets are all placed in transparent plastic boxes. You just need to拿起来多看看,就可以看出来放在底层的草莓是大是小、或是新不新鲜,所以妳应该是买回家之前,就已经知道只有上层的草莓,是看起来比较漂亮的,怎么能怪商家骗妳呢?」 「对呀!对呀!」我心有同感的说:「我每次买草莓,都会举起盒子看看放在下层的草莓新不新鲜,虽然常会看到放在下层的,往往不像上层的那么漂亮,但多检查一下,至少可以避免买到下层已经发霉的草莓。」 那位朋友接着说:「所以啊!咱们可不该怪罪商家总是把又大、又红、又新鲜的草莓放在上层,其实是我们太容易被上层的草莓所吸引呢!我们这些爱吃草莓的,不就是姜子牙钓鱼?#24895;者上钩嘛!」 这话一出,大伙儿都笑了。 Isn't it? 有时候我们太容易感叹商家的营销手法太过凌厉,让人无法招架,只有乖乖地奉上信用卡被「唰」,而忘记了我们对自己的销费行为也是有责任的。 In fact, don’t all kinds of advertisements capture the greed in our hearts and pursue our weaknesses in bright appearances?记得好多年前曾在电视上看见一则广告,画面上先尽是一幕又一幕的让人羡慕的高级房屋与佳肴,以及世界著名的旅游盛地,正觉得搞不清楚是在做什么广告时,突然出现了一位广告美女指着一家银行的招牌,发出轻柔的声音说:「借钱,是一种高贵的行为!」 够犀利的广告吧! No wonder the commercial advertisement of "Sell now, pay later" is so shocking, and the new term "card slave" has been developed in recent years! But can we blame these ads? Are you complaining that you were cheated by them? Or should we say, is it because our hearts are very relevant and consistent with the content promoted by these advertisements? It seems that it is really important to watch your own heart!圣经上箴言:「保守你们的心,胜过保守一切,因为一生的果效是由心发出。」不禁再次期勉自己,活在这多彩多姿的大千世界里,可要时时有颗知足感恩的心哪!
