A: E-commerce is very convenient and efficient. But I am just wondering when and how E-commerce came into being.

電子商務(wù)非常便捷，但是我想知道電子商務(wù)是在什么時(shí)候，怎么出現(xiàn)的呢?

B: Oh, it is a big question. I think I can answer you because I have just read an article about the development of e-commerce.

這可是個(gè)大問(wèn)題。我想我可以回答你，因?yàn)槲覄倓傋x過(guò)一篇有關(guān)電子商務(wù)發(fā)展的文章。

A: So, I am asking the right person?

那么，我是問(wèn)對(duì)人了?

B: Yes. The Internet was born only in 1969 when ARPANET(Advanced Research Projects Agency Network)-the Pentagon-sponsored network-was launched, which linked computers at four US universities. Soon, the ARPANET began to morph away from its intended use as a defense system. The number of host computers linked to the Internet has been increasing year by year.Big changes in the development of the Internet lied in the year. Big changes in the development of the Internet lied in the releasing of the World Wide Web(www) by CERN (European Laboratory for Particle Physics; French: Conseil European pour la Racherche Nuclearie) in 1991and the Mosaic (later Netscape) Web browser developed by NCSA(National Center for Super computing Application) in 1993 to allow HTML pages with embedded graphics to be viewed. Followingly, the first banner ads appeared on hotwired. com for Zima(a drink) and AT&T in October 1994.

當(dāng)然。因特網(wǎng)產(chǎn)生于1969年，當(dāng)時(shí)ARPANENT(高級(jí)研究署網(wǎng))——美國(guó)國(guó)防部資助項(xiàng)目——被啟動(dòng)，把美國(guó)四所大學(xué)的電腦連接起來(lái)。不久，ARPANET開(kāi)始背離它用于國(guó)際系統(tǒng)的初衷。連接到因特網(wǎng)上的主機(jī)數(shù)量逐年增加。因特網(wǎng)發(fā)展史上的重大變化體現(xiàn)在：1991年CERN開(kāi)發(fā)的萬(wàn)維網(wǎng)(WWW)，以及1993年NCSA推出的圖形化瀏覽器Mosaic(后來(lái)的網(wǎng)景)。之后，1994年10月，為Zima(一種飲料)和AT&T(美國(guó)電話電報(bào)公司)制作出的第一個(gè)寬幅廣告出現(xiàn)在了hotwired.com的網(wǎng)站上。

A: Do you mean that the Internet was used for commercial purposes only during the 1990s?

你是說(shuō)因特網(wǎng)只是在20世紀(jì)90年代才用的商業(yè)目的。

B: Right. Since the first banner ads, companies have used the Internet well beyond mere promotion. Nowadays, goods and service can be bought and paid online; global auctions can be conducted, and even university degrees can be awarded online from overseas. All these have developed from nothing in about forty years.

是的。自從第一個(gè)寬幅廣告出現(xiàn)以來(lái)，因特網(wǎng)不只是被公司用來(lái)促銷(xiāo)的。如今，產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)可以從網(wǎng)上購(gòu)買(mǎi)和支付，全球型拍賣(mài)可以在網(wǎng)上進(jìn)行，就連國(guó)外的大學(xué)文憑也可以通過(guò)網(wǎng)上授予。所有這些都是在大約40年間從無(wú)到有發(fā)展起來(lái)的。

A: I see. It's the Internet that has facilitated the buying and selling of good and services.

我明白了。是因特網(wǎng)促進(jìn)了產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的買(mǎi)與賣(mài)。

B: However, it is not a perfect system. It still has many problems to be resolved such as account safety and consumer information protection, ect.

但是它并不是盡善盡美的。它還存在一些需要解決的問(wèn)題，像客戶(hù)賬戶(hù)的安全、顧客信息的保護(hù)等等。

A: There is still a long way to go.

還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走。

B: No doubt. Anyhow, it's a fine beginning and it will enjoy a bright future.

毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，不管怎樣，它已有一個(gè)很好的開(kāi)端，而且也會(huì)有一個(gè)光明的前景。

A: I agree absolutely.

我完全同意。
