网络"种菜族"需警惕广告陷阱

　　Two weeks ago, a group of US players launched a class action against Zynga and Facebook. "Most, if not all, of the online advertisements presented through Zynga are scams," the lawsuit alleges. "The advertisements are highly misleading and often result in users subscribing to goods or services that they do not want or need."

　　两周前，一群美国玩家发起对Zynga和“脸谱”网的集体诉讼。“通过Zynga发布的大多数——甚至是全部的——网上广告都是骗局，”该诉讼称。“这些广告误导性很强，往往会使用户订购他们并不想要或不需要的商品和服务。”

　　According to Nick O'Neill from the social media site All Facebook, Zynga is making $500,000 (304,000) a day from its Facebook games, in turn spending some $50m (30m) a year on Facebook ads。

　　据社交媒体网站All Facebook的尼克·奥尼尔称，Zynga从其“脸谱”网游戏中一天可赚50万美元(30.4万英镑)，继而每年投入约5000万美元(3000万英镑)用作“脸谱”网上的广告费。

　　If all that weren't enough, FarmVille doesn't even function like a proper farm: in FarmVille, wheat grows in two days--in real life, it takes months. But play continues nevertheless。

　　如果所有这些还不够说明问题，那么还可以说，FarmVille的运作程式并不像一个真正的农场：在FarmVille，小麦生长期为两天——而在现实生活中，则需要数月。尽管如此，游戏还在继续。
