Write your translation on the Answer Sh eet. You may refer to the new words and expressions provided in the box below. 资讯:information 新经济时代下的互联网 在新经济之中，互联网只是其中的重要部分，却不是全部。新科技、进取 精神和创新，我想这三点很能够表现这个时代。 互联网不仅是科技，更是行销。哪个公司如果不以互联网作为行销的工 具，就会变得不具竞争力。信息技术在行销中的功能绝不只是在网络上接获订 单而已，它是一个招揽顾客的橱窗。有了互联网科技，我们可以提供资讯给顾 4 客，这是以前没有的机会。 互联网对于企业的经营方式来说也是一种革命。拿电子邮件来说，现在和没有电子邮件的时代是完全两样。从前通过电话或面对面联络，太干扰，也没效率。现在电子邮件不会干扰，你可能花几小时收发电子邮件就够了，以前要找资讯很难找，现在很容易，比较容易做出正确的决定。 所以互联网不但改变了企业的服务方式，能够为顾客提供更有效、更全面的服务，而且还大大提高了企业的管理效率。 T1: Internet under the New Economical Time Under the new economical time, the Internet is only one of important parts, but not completely. I think, what could represent the new time is the three points below: the new science and technology, the enterprising spirit and the innovation. Internet is not only a new science and technology, but also about marketing. If a company doesn’t take Internet as a marketing tool, it would lose the competitiveness. The information technology’s function is not only to receive the orders from the network, but also a display window for attracting customers. With the help of Internet, the information would be provided to the customer, which never happened before. Internet in the management projects is also a revolution. Email, for instance, is completely different from the time without email. Formerly, it was inefficient and disturbed to contact by telephone or face-to-face. But now, email would not be interrupted at all, which cost you several hours to sending and receiving. Formerly, it was difficult to find any information. But now, it starts easy, and easy to make a correct decision with it. Therefore, Internet is not only changing the company’s service mode, providing more effective and more comprehensive service for customer, but also raising the company’s managerial effectiveness greatly. T2: Internet in the Era of New Economy 5 In the new economy, the Internet is an internal part of it, but not all. New technology, entrepreneurship and innovation, these three points are showed in this ear, I think. The Internet is not only technology, but marketing. The company will be uncompetitive if the internet was not explored as the tool of marketing. The function of information technology for marketing is not absolutely getting deals on the internet. It is for attracting more customers. With Internet-based technology, we could provide information to customers. There are no such opportunities before. Internet is also a revolution for the modes of business operation. E-mail, for instance, has changed our life tremendously. Communication over telephone or face to face contacting could be disturbed easily and were inefficient. But now, you won’t be disturbed via E-mail. Probably spending a few hours receiving and sending Emails is enough for you. It was hard to find new information before while it is easy to do so, and more easily to make the right decision. As a result, internet not only changed the way of service of enterprises, but also could provide more efficient and all-round services. Besides, it greatly improved enterprises’ management efficiency. 答案: Marking guide: Ø Please check whether the information in the Chinese passage is included in the students’ translation. Ø The students may use different words in their expressions. Ø Award 15 points for providing complete and accurate information in Engli sh translation and 5 points for language quality. Internet in the Era of New Economy The Internet alone does not make up the New Economy though it is an integral part of it. In my view, technology, entrepreneurship and innovations are keywo rds that sum up the new era. The Internet is not just a technology, it is also about marketing. Companies which do not use the Net as a marketing tool will lose their competitiveness. The function of information technology in marketing is more than just receiving order s on the Net. The Net offers a means of attracting clients by providing them information, something not possible in the past. 6 The Net has also revolutionized the way companies are run. Electronic mail, for instance, has made this era different from that in which there was no such a thing. The traditional telephone conversations and face-to-face contacts could be e asily interrupted and were inefficient. Now you need perhaps to spend just a couple of hours on e-mailing. Besides, it is now much easier to gather information to help make the right decision. Therefore, the Net not only has changed the way of service and is capable of providing more efficient and comprehensive customer service, but also has improved a company’s management efficiency tremendously. 7
