xiàn zài现在hěnduōrénmǎi dōng xī买东西qiánhuìkànwǎng shàng网上depíng lùn评论

Nowadays, many people look at online reviews before buying something.

dà jiā大家jué de觉得píng lùn评论kě yǐ可以bāngwǒ men我们zuòjué dìng决定yīn wèi因为píng lùn评论shìbié rén别人dezhēn shí真实gǎn shòu感受

People think reviews can help us make decisions because reviews are others' real feelings.

dàn shì但是hěnduōrénzhǐ yǒu只有zàifēi cháng非常xǐ huān喜欢huò zhě或者fēi cháng非常xǐ huān喜欢deshí hòu时候cáihuìxiěpíng lùn评论

However, many people only write reviews when they really like or really dislike something.

rú guǒ如果jué de觉得yì bān一般tā men他们tōng cháng通常bú huì不会shuōshén me什么

If they feel it's just average, they usually don't say anything.

suǒ yǐ所以wǒ men我们kàn dào看到depíng lùn评论cháng cháng常常shìhěnhǎohuò zhě或者hěnchàhěnshǎoyǒuzhōng jiān中间deyì jiàn意见

So, the reviews we see are often either "very good" or "very bad," with few in the middle.

zhèràngwǒ men我们hěnnánzhī dào知道chǎn pǐn产品dào dǐ到底zěn me yàng怎么样

This makes it hard for us to know how the product really is.

yǒu shí hòu有时候yí gè一个chǎn pǐn产品qí shí其实háikě yǐ可以dànyīn wèi因为méi yǒu没有rénxiězhōng děng中等depíng lùn评论wǒ men我们jiùzhī dào知道zhēn shí真实qíng kuàng情况

Sometimes, a product is actually okay, but because no one writes average reviews, we don't know the true situation.

yán jiū研究fā xiàn发现rú guǒ如果měi gè rén每个人dōunéngxiě xià写下zì jǐ自己dezhēn shí真实gǎn shòu感受dà jiā大家huìgèngróng yì容易zhī dào知道chǎn pǐn产品dehǎo huài好坏

Research shows that if everyone could write their true feelings, it would be easier for everyone to know the quality of the product.

suǒ yǐ所以wǒ men我们zàikànpíng lùn评论deshí hòu时候yàoduōxiǎngxiǎngbú yào不要zhǐxiāng xìn相信hěnjí duān极端deyì jiàn意见

Therefore, when we read reviews, we should think more and not just believe extreme opinions.
