On Excessive Packaging
In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life. The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.
This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like. For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.
In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money worthwhile.

过度包装
近年来，随着经济的不断发展，各类商品进入我们的生活。商品的包装越来越吸引我们的眼睛。然而，过度包装问题已引起人们的广泛关注。
由于一些原因这一现象的存在。一方面，企业已通过大多数消费者面子思想，因为他们认为，商品的包装更漂亮，最喜欢的人。另一方面，过度的包装可以使广大客商通过提高价格获得高利润的廉价商品。也许最主要的原因在于形式远远大于内容。
在我看来，它更应把重点放在商品的质量比它的外观装饰。所以，很紧迫的是，应立即采取措施阻止情况。只有这样我们才能减少不必要的浪费和有理性和纯粹的购物环境，使我们的钱是值得的。
