【正确答案】
【答案解析】我不只是个消费者,我是个受害者。如果我订购某件商品,送到的货必定颜色不对,尺寸不对或者数量有误。如果我雇佣修理工,他们从来不会在预定的那天上门。如果我支付账款,电脑系统常常多收我费用。因此,我保存所有的购物单和原包装盒,如果需要投诉,我会直接找顶层管理人员,这一方式总是很管用。

I"m not just a consumer—I"m a victim. If I order a product, it is sure to arrive in the wrong color, size, or quantity. If I hire people to do repairs, they never arrive on the day scheduled. If I pay a bill, the computer program often overcharges me. Therefore, I save all shopping slips and original boxes, and if I need to make a complaint, I will go right to the top. It always works for me.
