問題詳情

第二題:翻譯題(英翻中)Last month, Amazon announced that it would pay $13.7bn to take over Whole Foods, an upscale grocer knownfor its organic produce. The acquisition was more than ten times bigger than any one Amazon has made so far, andthe precise impact of this takeover is hard to gauge, primarily because buying Whole Foods barely gives Amazon astranglehold on food and beverages: the combined companies will account for just 1.4% of America’s grocerymarket. Customers who shop at the chain are not the mass market; instead they are the unusually niche of affluentgroups. Since Amazon has yet to make any decision about significant changes at Whole Foods, how Amazon is tointegrate Whole Foods remains murky, stirring speculation on business synergy and market rivalry. Nevertheless,this takeover gives a glimpse into Amazon’s playbook, a rather complex strategy of enmeshing itself in itscustomers’ lives: each new service, from streaming video to its virtual assistant, makes it more integral to a person’sday.【25 分】
