LONDON—A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的) bomb detectors (探测器) to 10 years in prison,saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.

It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors—which were based on a kind of golf ball finder—to countries including Iraq,Belgium and Saudi Arabia.

McCormick,57.was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced on Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.

“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people ,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick, “and you have neither regret,nor shame,nor any sense of guilt. ”

The detectors,sold for up to $ 42,000 each,were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.

McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong,the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.

“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.

Every person uses his/ her own special word to show his/ her ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is "Where's the beef?". It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, "Where's the beef?" was one of the most popular expressions in the U-nited States. It seemed as if everyone used it at the time.

Beef,of course,is the meat from a cow,and no food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold ham?burgers at a low price. Ray called this "McDonald's". Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.

Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called " Wendy's" said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald's or anyone else. The Wendy's Company began to use the expression "Where's the beef?" to make people know that Wendy's hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy's television advertisement showed three old women eating ham?burgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big,but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. "Where's the beef?" she shouted in a funny way.
