水货 Parallel Import

水货Parallel Import / Grey Product还记得在08年春晚上，赵本山的那句经典台词“我不是火命，我是水货”吗？现在，进口商品随处可见，只要有钱，你就可以拥有。

没钱？那你可以去买grey product（水货）。

A parallel import is a non-counterfeit product imported from another country without the permission of the intellectual property owner. Parallel imports are often referred to as grey product, and are implicated in issues of international trade, and intellectual property. Parallel import（平行进口商品）指的是未经产品知识产权所有人允许而从别国进口的非仿冒品（真品）。

此类商品通常被称为“灰色产品”（即我们所说的“水货”），在国际贸易和知识产权领域颇有争议。

Companies, either the manufacturer or the distributor, set different price points for their products in different markets. Parallel importers ordinarily purchase products in one country at a price (P1) which is cheaper than the price at which they are sold in a second country (P2), import the products into the second country, and sell the products in that country at a price which is usually between P1 and P2.产品制造商或分销商对产品的定价是因市场而异的。

平行进口商们通常在一国用当地价格（p1）买进某商品，该买入价是低于该商品在第二国的售价（p2）的，商品被进口到第二国后的售价通常会在p1和p2之间。

Can I tell you, I love my Pantene Pro-V. Of the dozen or so personal care products I use every day, it's the one I can't live without. Says it gives my dull hair “the ultimate coolshine.” How does it do that? I was wondering that while I was lathering it into my hair one day, so I read the ingredients right here: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylisothiazolinone. What is this stuff? I took this list to some scientists who know how to read it. Turns out my Pantene contains a chemical linked to cancer. And lots of other products in my bathroom from sunscreen to lipstick and even baby shampoo also contain chemicals linked to cancer or other problems like learning disabilities, asthma and even damaged sperm. Like most parents, I try to keep my family safe, but now I find out my bathroom is a minefield of toxins. What are we supposed to do?To find out the answers, we have to go back to one of the key features of our materials economy: toxics in, toxics out. If at the factory, you pour toxic chemical into a product like baby shampoo, you are going to wind up with toxic baby shampoo and toxics in workers, communities and, duh, babies.So let's take a closer look at this toxic outrage where it seeps into our lives every day in the bathroom. The average woman in the U.S. uses about twelve personal care products daily. The average man about six. Each product contains a dozen or more chemicals. Less than twenty percent of chemicals in cosmetics have been accessed for safety by the industry’s safety panel. So we just don't know what they do to us when we use them. Would you fly on an airline that only inspects twenty percent of its planes?Of course, not all of these chemicals are dangerous, but we know that many are. Some are carcinogens, that means they can cause cancer. Others are neurotoxins and reproductive toxins, proven to mess up brain development and reproduction in animals. Wait a minute, we’re animals too! It's like a giant experiment. We're using all these mystery chemicals and just waiting to see what happens.生词：seep: v. to flow slowly through small spaces 渗入carcino At the Barbers and Beauty SalonKey Sentences（重点句子）156．I'd like to have my hair cut．我想理个发。
