马云将网上假货泛滥归咎于消费者贪心

Jack Ma, chairman of ecommerce group Alibaba, has blamed credulous and “greedy” consumers for the prevalence of counterfeit goods available on the internet, adding that his company provides buyers with the tools to distinguish fakes from the genuine article.

电子商务集团阿里巴巴(Alibaba)董事局主席马云(Jack Ma)将互联网上假货泛滥归咎于易受骗和“贪心”的消费者，并补充称，他的公司向买家提供辨别真假的工具。

“If you want to buy a Rolex for Rmb25 [$4], you can only be blamed for being too greedy,” he told an audience at the World Internet Conference in the Chinese city of Wuzhen.

在浙江乌镇举行的世界互联网大会(World Internet Conference)上，马云称：“二十五块钱就想买一个劳力士手表，这是不可能的，这是你自己太贪了。”

Mr Ma’s comments were a departure from the usually contrite public message honed by Alibaba in the run-up to its record-breaking initial public offering in September, which raised $25bn.

9月阿里巴巴通过首次公开发行(IPO)创纪录地融资250亿美元之前，该公司对外传达的信息通常带有忏悔意味。马云此番言论标志着转向。

The issue of fake goods, and the difficulty in policing the roughly 8m third-party sellers on Alibaba’s eBay-like sales website Taobao, has long been a problem for the group. “The company takes the issue of counterfeit goods seriously and acts immediately to remove these goods from our ecosystem,” said Alibaba yesterday.
