希尼爾翻譯公司（www.myfavoritepainters.net）2016年8月1日了解到：BBC News – Strong earnings from Amazon and a boost to the company's stock have made its founder, Jeff Bezos, the world's third richest person, according to Forbes. Mr Bezos owns 18% of Amazon's shares, which rose 2% in trading on Thursday. Forbes estimated his fortune to be $65.3bn.

BBC新聞 – 強(qiáng)勁的盈利增長和公司股價的提升使亞馬遜創(chuàng)始人杰夫.貝索斯成了世界第三大富豪，福布斯的數(shù)據(jù)顯示。貝索斯擁有亞馬遜18%的股份，亞馬遜股價周二交易中上漲2%。福布斯估計貝索斯的身價在653億美元。

Amazon's revenue beat analysts' expectations, climbing 31% from last year to $30.4bn in the second quarter. Profit for the e-commerce giant was $857m, compared with $92m in 2015.

亞馬遜的收入超出分析師的預(yù)期, 比去年攀升31%至今年第二季度的304億美元。這家電子商務(wù)巨頭贏利8.57億美元，而2015年的贏利才9200萬美元。

According to Forbes estimates, Mr Bezos's fortune is only surpassed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, worth $78bn, and the $73.1bn fortune of Zara founder Amancio Ortega.

根據(jù)福布斯估算，貝索斯的財富僅次于身價780億美元的微軟創(chuàng)始人比爾蓋茨，以及Zara創(chuàng)始人阿曼西奧.奧爾特加731億美元的財富。

Amazon had developed a reputation for announcing little or no profit each quarter, but appeared to hit a turning point last year and has seen improving earnings since. Amazon shares have spiked 50% since February.

亞馬遜一向有每季度宣布利潤微薄或無贏利的名聲，但去年似乎迎來了轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)，自那以后收益得到了改善。亞馬遜股價自二月份以來飆升50%。

Amazon's Prime membership, which offers extra services including free shipping for an annual fee, saw impressive international growth. In June, Amazon launched Prime in India to take advantage of the country's large consumer market.

提供包括繳年費(fèi)免運(yùn)費(fèi)等額外服務(wù)的亞馬遜金牌會員計劃在全球取得驚人增長。6月份，亞馬遜在印度推出金牌會員計劃，以利用該國廣大的消費(fèi)市場。

Amazon has boosted Prime membership by improving its video streaming offerings, an area in which it competes with Netflix.

亞馬遜通過改進(jìn)其流媒體視頻服務(wù)促進(jìn)了金牌會員計劃。流媒體視頻服務(wù)是亞馬遜與網(wǎng)飛公司競爭的領(lǐng)域。

Prime Day, Amazon's annual promotional shopping festival earlier this month, was the company's largest ever sales day.

本月初亞馬遜的年度購物促銷節(jié)“黃金日”是公司有史以來銷量最大的一天。

Earlier this month, it announced a partnership with US bank Wells Fargo to offer discounts on student loans for members of its Prime Student services.

本月初，亞馬遜宣布與美國富國銀行合作，為其金牌學(xué)生服務(wù)的會員提供學(xué)生貸款折扣。 來源:可可英語
