从最近几年的英语六级翻译真题中我们不难看出,翻译目前考察的方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面,日常复习中我们也要提前储备一些常考话题材料。下面新东方在线英语六级频道为大家整理了2016年12月英语六级翻译练习:网络购物,希望对大家的备考有所帮助。
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
如今,随着网络的发展,越来越多的人喜欢网上购物。足不出户,只需鼠标—点,快递员就会把你要的东西送到家门口,省时省力,方便快捷。这为消费者节省了很多逛超市的时间,也避免了交通拥堵。由于网上销售库存压力较小、经营成本低、经营规模不受场地限制,这也给年轻人创业提供了很好的机会。网上购物无论对消费者、企业还是市场都有着巨大的吸引力和影响力,在新经济时期无疑是达到“多赢(multi-win)”效果的理想模式。
