Nowadays, we have more choices of fruits and vegetables in our lives. For example, people living in the south of China are able to eat fruits and vegetables from the north or even from abroad. This should be attributed to the convenience brought about by air transport.
First of all, airplanes have made possible the transport of fruits and vegetables over long distances. In the past when there were no airplanes, this was completely impossible as fresh fruit and vegetable get bad and rotted easily. With the appearance of air transport, what would have taken several days, a few weeks or even months in the past now only takes a couple of hours to be done. Therefore, fruits and vegetables from faraway places are able to get onto our tables as fresh as newly picked.
Second, air shipping fruits and vegetables has enhanced the economic development and the quality of life of the people of both the exporting and importing places. If the fruits and vegetables of a certain place can be transported within a short period of time to other places or countries, the local people and the government would benefit in the first place. This is easy to understand in that both the local people and the government would have cash in hand. In the second place, the people and governments of the places where fruits and vegetables are transported to are also benefited. The markets would have more varieties to offer and the governments would have more tax to collect.
Sure, air transporting fruits and vegetables consumes large amounts of fuel and human labour and these make the prime reasons for many people to say no to it. Besides, due to the high cost of shipment, these fruits and vegetables are usually very expensive when they finally appear on the markets. However, it is consumers who decide whether they will buy them or not, therefore, it is always a good thing that they at least have more choices.
From the foregoing discussion, we see that air transporting fruit and vegetables is fully justified.
题目：
随着水果和蔬菜空运出口的发展，许多国家也可以吃到本国不生长或非本季的蔬果和水果。有些人认为这是件好事，但是其他人认为这样会导致不公平定价。讨论这两种观点并给出你的看法。
译文：
现在，人们可以选择的水果和蔬菜品种日益增多。比如，生活在南方的人可以品尝到来自北方甚至是国外的水果和蔬菜，这要归功于空运所带来的便捷了。
首先，飞机使得水果和蔬菜的长途运输成为可能。在过去还没有飞机的时代，这些事情都是完全不可能的，因为新鲜水果和蔬菜很容易变质、腐烂。有了空运，原来需要几天甚至几周、几个月才能做到的事情现在几个小时便可做到了。因此，来自远方的水果和蔬菜得以新鲜如期地被端上我们的餐桌。
第二，空运水果和蔬菜促进了输出地和输入地的经济繁荣与人民生活水平的提高。如果某地的水果和蔬菜能够在短时间内被运送到其他地区或国家，那首先受益的就是输出地的人民和政府，这一点很容易理解：因为当地人和政府都有钱了。其次，水果与蔬菜输入地的人民与政府也会受益：市场上会有更多的品种提供，政府则会有更多的税收来源。
当然，空运水果和蔬菜肯定要浪费大量的燃料和人力，这也是许多人表示反对的主要原因。除此之外，由于运费高，所以，最终出现在市场上的水果和蔬菜也就必然昂贵。然而，买与不买是消费者说了算，因此，人们有更多的选择永远都是一件好事情。
由此可见，空运水果与蔬菜是完全站得住脚的事情。
