Academic dishonest has become one of the most serious problems in educational circles. The world grows better and better, while academic dishonest also become more and more common. What is academic dishonest. According to my understanding, it includes plagiarism¹, fabrication, deception², cheating, sabotage³ and academic fraud. Many outstanding educators and scientists may cheat in their academic words. In my opinion, there are three main reasons.

学术造假已成为教育界最严重的问题。世界变得越来越好，而学术造假也变得越来越普遍。什么是学术造假。根据我的理解，它包括抄袭，伪造，欺骗，作弊，破坏以及学术诈欺。许多杰出的教育家和科学家也许在他们的作品中都会存在学术造假。在我看来，有三个主要原因。

Firstly, vanity plays an important part. No matter common people or outstanding people, they have the same psychology⁴ that is vanity. Some famous scholars will choose to use academic dishonest to get a better fame. Secondly⁵, academic achievement becomes the main standard to get promotion⁶ or salary rise. Some people may have the fluke mind, so they choose to cheat everyone, especially their boss will give what they want. Thirdly, the punishment for academic dishonest is still too tolerant. Academic dishonest is rare to be found, unless it has brought serious consequence. Some people want to success at any cost will choose this way.

首先，虚荣起了重要的作用。不管是普通人还是名人，他们都有同样的心理，那就是虚荣。一些著名的学者会选择使用学术造假而得到更好的名声。其次，学术成果是成为晋升或加薪的主要标准。有些人可能会有侥幸心理，所以他们选择欺骗大家，尤其是他们的老板会给他们所想要的。第三，对学术造假的惩罚还是比较宽容的。学术很少会被发现，除非带来了严重的后果。有些人想成功会不惜任何代价选择这种方式。

In a word, the outstanding people are the example for us. They should use their special position to set a good example for us. In my view, small progress is better than the fake breakthrough. Although they may get what they want for the time being through academic dishonest, they will be notorious once discover cheating. So I hope everyone should look before they leap.

总之，那些杰出的人是我们的榜样。他们应该利用自己的特殊地位，为我们树立一个好榜样。在我看来，小小的进步要比假的突破更好。虽然通过学术造假他们可以暂时得到想要的东西，但是一旦被发现就作弊就会臭名昭著。所以我希望每个人都应该三思而后行。
