全球电子商务成交额统计
预测范文
As can be seen from the above bar chart, volume of global electronic commerce transactions has increased gradually during the past 15 years. In 1997, it was almost 2 billion dollars, while the number reached 90 billion in 2005. By 2011, the number jumped dramatically to 300 billion dollars, 150 times more than that of 1997.
Why is electronic commerce booming nowadays? Several causes contribute to this phenomenon. Above all, the availability of computer is the foremost contributor and the rapid development of information technology enables nearly everybody to have access to the computer and Internet. Nowadays, the Internet is no longer a stranger to common people. What is more, the Internet technology is becoming increasingly mature. People who at first do not trust business transactions online now become convinced that electronic commerce is extremely convenient and efficient. Last but not least, electronic commerce is the fastest way so far to make transactions across far distances. It makes it possible to do business at home and it saves time and unnecessary formalities as well. That is why it is preferable to traditional commerce.
Booming electronic commerce undoubtedly contributes to the prosperity of world economy and it also gives birth to SOHO, a special group of people working at home. The trend towards a promising e-commerce is inevitable. Accordingly, let’s get prepared to embrace this irreversible tendency.
参考译文
由以上柱状图可以看出，在过去十五年中，全球电子商务成交额稳步增长。1997年，全球电子商务成交额约为20亿美元，而2005年，这一数据增长到900亿美元。2011年这一数字飞涨到3000亿美元，是1997年的150倍。
为什么当今的电子商务发展如此之快呢？这一现象产生的原因有以下几个。首先，电脑的普及是最主要的原因。信息技术的迅猛发展使每个人都用上了电脑和互联网。现在，对普通人来说，互联网已不再陌生。其次，互联网技术正日趋成熟，起初对网上商业交易不信任的人，现在已经开始相信电子商务既方便又高效。最后但同样重要的是，电子商务是目前远距离交易最快的方式。电子商务使在家做生意成为可能，还节省了时间和不必要的手续。这就是与传统交易方式相比，电子商务更受青睐的原因。
快速发展的电子商务无疑有助于世界经济的繁荣，而且它催生了在家上班族（SOHO）。电子商务大有前途。因此，让我们准备好迎接这一不可逆转的趋势吧。
