　　In an era of materialism and consumerism, people are bombarded with new and exciting products. People engage in these goods not only because they appeal to human senses but also because they are advertised as necessary and indispensable. While this trend is harmful to the lives of individuals, it could bring benefits to society.

　　译文：在物质主义和消费主义的时代，人们每天接触大量新的令人激动的产品。人们喜欢这些东西不只因为它们刺激着感官，而且广告里说它们说必要必需的。虽然这个趋势对个人有害，但对社会有好处。

　　Consumers purchase the products they do not need due to intensive advertisingby large companies with deep marketing budgets. Regular advertisements displayed on various media often influence people unconsciously into believing that the products being advertised are necessary. For instance, corporates like Hewlett Packard spend billions of dollars on advertisements every year to sell laptops and computers. Moreover, people tend to purchase products that appeal to their senses and desires. Companies create items which have superior finish and appearance to attract customers. For example, a recent research revealed that more than 50 percent mobile phone buyers preferred Apple’s iPhone not because of its functions but because of its appealing touch and shape.

　　译文：有着雄厚营销预算大企业密集地做广告，这是消费者买自己不需要的产品的原因。各种媒体上常见的广告不经意就对人们产生了印象，让他们认为广告里的产品是必要的。例如，像惠普这种公司每年花上百万在笔记本和电脑的广告上。而且，人们会买那些刺激感官和购物欲的东西。企业会研发外观漂亮的产品来吸引消费者。比如，最近的一项研究发现，50%的手机消费者更喜欢iPhone，不是因为功能，而是因为手感和外形。

　　词汇替换：products = goods = items; consumers = people = buyers; advertising = advertisements = being advertised.

　　Engaging in extreme consumerism has several negative impacts ranging from an increase in individual debt to lack of focus on more important things. A 2014 study in the United Kingdom revealed that many Britishers spend more on television and mobile phone services than on food and education. This has increased household debt and compromised nutrition and intellectual development of the citizens. However, such spending is the primary reason behind decades of healthy growth rates in various countries. As people purchase more goods and services, a country’s gross domestic product increases and so does the job rate.

　　译文：身陷过度消费主义有几种负面影响，从个人债务上升到缺乏对更重要事物的关注。英国2014年的一项研究表明，很多英国人花更多时间在电视和手机而不是食品和教育上。这导致了家庭负债的增加以及公民的营养和智力发展状况的下降。但是，这类支出正是几十年来各国经济持续发展的主要原因。人们买更多产品和服务，GDP就会增加，就业率也是一样。

　　词汇替换：individual debt = househol debt, people = citizens, products和services拓展为television, mobile phone, food, education.用“食品和教育”拓展中心句里的“更重要事物”。总觉得没话说的G友注意了，对题目关键词进行具体化，是提升回答详尽程度（TR表现）的有效方法。

　　In conclusion, increasing consumption of items that people do not need is due to strong marketing by various companies. This has resulted in lower savings and lesser expenditure on necessary things. Governments should not only make people aware of the adverse effects of such behaviour but also regulate the advertisement of products.

　　译文：总之，不必要物品消费的增加是由于企业的强力营销。这导致了低存款和必要物品支出不足，政府不仅应该让人们意识到这种行为的坏处，还应该规范广告。

　　词汇替换：前文的“债务”=lower savings, 前文的“缺乏对更重要事物关注”=lesser expenditure on necessary things，这种上下文的呼应可以大幅提升CC表现，同时使用了比较级，提升语法表现。目标7+G友在学习范文过程中应有这种意识。
