查看亚马逊上商品的评价能帮助消费者更好的选择把什么样的商品放到购物车里。但这并不是说简单到专挑四星或者五星商品就行。评论的长度、质量和数量等因素也都需要考虑。网上有很多作假的第三方卖家，所以消费者并非总是清楚哪些评论值得信赖。
My:
By browsing reviews about items on Amazon, consumers can make better decisions for which commodity to choose and add to their shopping carts. However, it doesn't mean simply selecting the 4-star or 5-star goods will suffice. The elements about these comments, such as their lengths and qualities as well as amounts, also need to be taken into account. As many third-party vendors cheat online, costumers are confused to distinguish reliable reviews.
Teacher's:
Looking at the ratings on Amazon products can help consumers make more informed decisions about what they add to their shopping carts. But it is not always as easy as selecting items with a four - or five-star rating: factors like the length, quality and number of reviews also make a difference. And with so many fraudulent third-party sellers working through the site, it is not always clear which reviews are trustworthy.

想要了解你准备要买的东西，你得真正的去阅读商品的评价。如果一个商品下面都是清一色的空洞的好评而未提及任何不好的方面，那么在付款之前一-定要三思。一些卖家会雇人给他们的商品刷五星好评以提升商品的评分。想知道某条评价是否真实的最好的方法是去看有没有买家的个人使用细节以及商品的缺陷，有时候，三星或四星的评论比那些好到难以置信的五星评论更能说明你要买的东西的好坏。
My:
Indeed read the reviews about commodities when having the intention of purchasing them. You have to think carefully before paying if the whole area of an item is filled with meaningless good reviews without anything bad. And with some sellers hiring others to write five-star reviews for enhancing the ratings of their commodities, it's the best way to confirm the facticity of some review that to check whether customers' details during using and drawbacks of items exist among the reviews. Three- or four-star reviews are sometimes better to validate the quality of goods to buy, in contrast with those unbelievably favorable five-star ones.
Teacher's
To get a feel for what you are purchasing, it helps to actually read the reviews. If every review gives the same
bland praise for the product without mentioning anything negative, think twice before heading to the checkout page. Some retailers pay people to leave fraudulent five-star reviews on their products in order to boost their ratings. The best way to determine if the review you are reading is real is to look for personal details and imperfections in the story. Sometimes a three- or four-star review is a better indication of what you are getting than a too-good-to-be-true five star review.
