網購(online shopping)是電子商務的一種形式。顧客輕點鼠標,足不出戶就可以通過網絡購買商品或服務。物美價廉的商品令越來越多的人迷上了網購。網購隨時隨地都可進行,極為便利,非常切合年青一代的需要。據預測,中國網購人數將以更快的速度持續增長。但網購的迅猛增長也給快遞業(the express service)帶來了很多問題。為了按時送達大量的網購商品,很多快遞員(courier)不得不夜以繼日地工作。
Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce which allows consumers to purchase goods or services through the Internet by clicking a mouse without stepping out of their houses. High-quality online goods at fan-prices attract an increasing number of customers. Meanwhile, online shopping can be conducted anywhere at any time, so it’s very convenient and quite caters for the young generation. It is predicted that in the future the number of online shoppers will keep growing at a faster rate in China. But the rapid growth of online shopping presents a lot of problems for the express service. To deliver the massive amount of items ordered online to the customers on time, many couriers have to work day and night.
