建筑商建造的是一個塑料湖而不是他們的照片所展示的真湖

當房主們意識到他們的建筑商建造的是一個塑料湖而不是他們的照片所展示的真湖時，他們義憤填膺

Quick, if I say ‘lake,’ what are the first three words that pop into your head? Don’t overthink things, just say them out loud. Odds are, you probably said ‘blue,’ ‘water,’ and ‘wet.’ Which is completely natural because lakes are full of blue water which is wet. Duh. However, it’s not so obvious to some developers in China.

快問快答，如果我說‘湖’，你最先想到的三個字是什么?不要想太多，大聲說出來就好。你可能會說“藍色”、“水”和“濕的”。“這是完全自然的，因為湖泊里充滿了潮濕的藍色水。咄。然而，對中國的一些開發(fā)商來說，這并不那么明顯。

Developers from Changsha, Hunan, used an advertisement to trick homeowners into thinking that by buying an apartment in their building, they’d be living next to a park with a small lake in the middle of it. Well, the reality was as different as a mirage is from an oasis. Instead of a picturesque lake, homeowners found themselves living next to a ‘lake’ made of blue plastic covering, meant to mimic water.

來自湖南長沙的開發(fā)商利用一則廣告來欺騙房主，讓他們以為如果在自己的大樓里買房，他們就住在一個公園旁邊，公園中間有一個小湖。但是，現(xiàn)實就像海市蜃樓，和綠洲大不相同。不是一個風景如畫的湖，房主們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己住在一個用藍色塑料覆蓋的“湖”旁邊，這個“湖”是用來模擬水的。

Let’s get something straight: just because you make it blue doesn’t mean it’s a lake. Some other things that are blue but aren’t a lake include: the sky, The Smurfs, blueberries, and whales.

讓我們搞清楚一些事情:僅僅因為你把它變成藍色并不意味著它是一個湖。其他一些藍色但不是湖的東西包括:天空、藍精靈、藍莓和鯨魚。

200 homeowners in Changsha, China, were angry to learn that the lake they were promised…

中國長沙的200名房主得知他們小區(qū)湖的真相后非常憤怒

…was fake and actually made of blue plastic!

是假的，實際上是用藍色塑料做的!

Around 200 homeowners were disappointed to find out that ads for the man-made lake were a lie. The weird thing is, the developers even built a bridge across the fake lake. If they put in the effort to do that, why couldn’t they have simply created the lake as well?

約200名房主失望地發(fā)現(xiàn)，人工湖的廣告是假的。奇怪的是，開發(fā)商甚至在假湖上建了一座橋。如果他們努力這么做，為什么他們就不能簡單地創(chuàng)造出這個湖呢?

The developers promised their clients a park view and instead cut corners

開發(fā)商向他們的客戶承諾可以看到公園景觀，但卻走了捷徑

“So I’m supposed to be standing in the middle of blue water, which in fact doesn’t exist. There is no rock or plants,” one Chinese homeowner told the media.

“所以我應(yīng)該站在藍藍的水中間，而事實上，藍藍的水并不存在。沒有石頭和植物，”一位中國房主告訴媒體。

South China Morning Post, property developers are getting more and more complaints from homeowners about safety standards and the quality of buildings.

據(jù)《南華早報》報道，房地產(chǎn)開發(fā)商收到越來越多的業(yè)主對安全標準和建筑質(zhì)量的投訴。

Developers are rushing to sell as many properties as they can, which means some of them are cutting corners and putting lives at risk. In other words, there is a ‘build fast and sell fast’ approach being taken.

開發(fā)商們爭先恐后地出售盡可能多的房產(chǎn)，這意味著其中一些開發(fā)商走捷徑，置生命于危險之中。換句話說，現(xiàn)在有一種“快速構(gòu)建和快速銷售”的方法。

Dear Pandas, what do you think of the developers tricking the homeowners by creating a fake lake? Do you think that they should build a real park as an apology? What are some of your favorite things that are blue but aren’t lakes? Have you been told by developers that you’d be living near a park only to have them build a supermarket where it should have been? Share your thoughts with us in the comments and let us know if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of fake ads.

親愛的讀者們，你覺得開發(fā)商造了一個假湖來欺騙房主怎么樣?你認為他們應(yīng)該建一個真正的公園作為道歉嗎?你最喜歡的藍色但不是湖的東西是什么?開發(fā)商有沒有告訴過你，你會住在公園附近，結(jié)果卻讓他們在本該建公園的地方建了一個超市?請在評論中與我們分享你的想法，讓我們知道你是否曾經(jīng)收到過虛假廣告。
