波士頓咨詢公司最近做的一項(xiàng)研究顯示，到2020年中國(guó)將會(huì)有2.2億家庭收入在2萬(wàn)到100萬(wàn)美元的富裕消費(fèi)者。這些消費(fèi)者中75%住在“較小城市”。隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)的發(fā)展，較小城市的消費(fèi)者的一種必然趨勢(shì)是他們更加依賴社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)上的信息。很多網(wǎng)絡(luò)顧客都是通過(guò)微信、微博和QQ空間分組的。據(jù)估計(jì)今年中國(guó)將會(huì)有2.5億消費(fèi)者進(jìn)行網(wǎng)購(gòu)，位于四線城市的消費(fèi)者平均每人會(huì)花費(fèi)他們50%或者更高的工資在網(wǎng)購(gòu)上，這一數(shù)據(jù)要比一線城市的消費(fèi)者的花費(fèi)高。

　　【參考譯文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website’s customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.

　　天干地支是中國(guó)歷法中用以記錄和命名年歲的方法。十天干為：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、已、庚、辛、壬、癸;十二地支為：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戊、亥。古人觀測(cè)朔望月，發(fā)現(xiàn)月亮圓缺12次大體上是一年的天數(shù)，而兩個(gè)朔望月約是60天。古人以十天干與十二地支的順序依次相配，記錄不同年份，60年為一個(gè)輪回。干支紀(jì)年法從古沿用至今。按干支紀(jì)年法，2011年便是辛卯年。

　　Chinese Era

　　The Chinese era is the symbol that the Chinese calendar uses for recording and naming years. The ten Heavenly Stems are: jia, yi, bing, ding, wu, ji, geng, xin, ren, gui. The twelve Earthly Branches are: zi.chou, yin, mou, chen, si, wu, wei, shen, you, xu, hai. After observing the lunar month, the ancients found that the moon always wazes and wanes roughly 12 times a year, and two lunar months account for about 60 days, so the order of the ten Heavenly Stems and the order of the twelve Earthly Branches are properly matched in turn. In terms of recording date, 60 years is considered to be a full time cycle. The Chinese era chronology was first invented in ancient times and is still in use now. according to the chronology of the “ten Heavenly Stems,” 2011 is the year of “the seventh of the ten Heavenly Stems” and “ the fifth of the twelve Earthly Branches”.
