Can Online Shopping Replace Traditional Shopping?

Since its rise, the Internet has been playing a more and more important role in our daily life. It brings tremendous convenience and efficiency to our lives. Online shopping is also a new rising thing brought by the Internet. Since its increasing developing speed, some people think that online shopping will replace traditional shopping. However, as far as I am concerned, it won't happen in a short time.

自從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)興起一來，它在我們的日常生活中扮演著越來越重要的角色。它給我們的生活帶來了巨大的方便和效率。網(wǎng)上購物也是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)帶來的新興事物。由于它不斷增長的發(fā)展速度，有的人認為網(wǎng)上購物會替代傳統(tǒng)購物。但是，在我看來，這種情況在短時間內不會發(fā)生。

      Although online shopping is really very convenient, there are still some strong points of traditional shopping which cannot be replaced by online shopping. Firstly, online shopping lacks the intuitional impression of goods. Sometimes the photos offered by the sellers are beautified with softwares, and you will be disappointed to find the actual item is far from your expectation. Secondly, returning goods in online shopping is quite troublesome, and sometimes you only can achieve your goal at the cost of the payment of the postage by yourself. Finally, there are too many fake products and cheats in online shopping, and the quality of goods cannot be guaranteed as those in traditional shops.

盡管網(wǎng)購真的很方便，但是傳統(tǒng)購物仍然有一些網(wǎng)購不能替代的地方。首先，網(wǎng)購缺乏對商品的直觀印象。有時候商家提供的圖片是經(jīng)過軟件美化過的，你發(fā)現(xiàn)實物和你的期望相差甚遠的時候你會感到失望。其次，網(wǎng)購退貨很麻煩，有時候你只能以自付運費為代價來達到目的。最后，網(wǎng)購存在很多假冒產品以及詐騙，而且商品質量不像傳統(tǒng)店鋪里的那樣有保證。

      According to the points above, online shopping still needs some improvements to totally replace the functions of traditional shopping. However, the potential of online business is so huge that it will certainly take a great share in the trade market.

根據(jù)以上幾點，網(wǎng)購仍舊有待提高以取代傳統(tǒng)購物的位置。但是，網(wǎng)上業(yè)務的潛力很大，它將在貿易市場中占相當大份額。
