2018考研英語雙語閱讀：中國移動支付領(lǐng)跑世界

　　Chinese firms lead the way to cashless society

　　中國移動支付領(lǐng)跑世界，總額達美國90倍!

　　THE DEVELOPED countries have been left behind by China in the development of a cashless society. It is predicted that mobile payments will soon replace card payments as the most common payment method worldwide, something that has already been realized in some big cities in China.

　　在無現(xiàn)金社會的發(fā)展中，發(fā)達國家被甩在了中國后面。據(jù)預(yù)測，手機支付將很快取代銀行卡支付成為世界上最常見的支付方式，在中國的許多城市都實現(xiàn)了這一點。

　　Baidu, China’s largest search engine, and Jingdong, one of the country’s largest e-commerce companies, are following the lead of China’s two internet giants Alibaba and Tencent in actively developing mobile payment services for use at home and abroad.

　　中國最大的搜索引擎百度和中國最大的電子商務(wù)公司之一京東正跟隨著中國兩家互聯(lián)網(wǎng)巨頭阿里巴巴(Alibaba)和騰訊(Tencent)的腳步，積極開發(fā)國內(nèi)和海外的移動支付服務(wù)。

　　China’s mobile payment business is already expanding around the world at a fast pace. Alipay, the third-party mobile and online payment platform established by Alibaba, can now be used in 33 countries and regions. While WeChat Pay, a similar payment platform owned by Tencent, is available in 13 countries and regions.

　　中國的移動支付業(yè)務(wù)已經(jīng)在全球范圍內(nèi)快速擴張。阿里巴巴創(chuàng)立的第三方移動和在線支付平臺支付寶(Alipay)現(xiàn)在可以在33個國家和地區(qū)使用。而騰訊擁有的類似于支付平臺的微信支付，在13個國家和地區(qū)都可以使用。

　　And it is not only Chinese travelers but also a growing number of foreigners that are enjoying the convenience of the digital payment solutions.

　　不僅是中國游客，而且越來越多的外國人享受著數(shù)字支付帶來的便利。

　　As the development of mobile payments shows, the changes technology is bringing to retail, services and finance are revolutionary, and China is establishing its advantages in internet finance, finance technology and related fields.

　　隨著移動支付的發(fā)展，技術(shù)帶來的在零售、服務(wù)和金融等方面的變革是革命性的，而中國在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)經(jīng)濟、金融技術(shù)和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的優(yōu)勢正在形成。

　　China’s technological advantages can be transformed into a global advantage, and Chinese companies can take the lead in the evolution and upgrading of these sectors.

　　中國的技術(shù)優(yōu)勢可以轉(zhuǎn)化為全球優(yōu)勢，中國企業(yè)可以在這些行業(yè)的發(fā)展和升級中發(fā)揮帶頭作用。

　　However, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Softbank have already given chase in the field, and Chinese companies will have to continue innovating to stay ahead of the competition.

　　然而，谷歌、臉書(Facebook)、亞馬遜(Amazon)和軟銀(Softbank)已經(jīng)在這一領(lǐng)域進行了追擊，中國企業(yè)將不得不繼續(xù)創(chuàng)新，以保持領(lǐng)先地位。
