网上购物能否代替传统购物？ 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.

自从互联网兴起一来，它在我们的日常生活中扮演着越来越重要的角色。它给我们的生活带来了巨大的方便和效率。网上购物也是互联网带来的新兴事物。由于它不断增长的发展速度，有的人认为网上购物会替代传统购物。但是，在我看来，这种情况在短时间内不会发生。

      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.

尽管网购真的很方便，但是传统购物仍然有一些网购不能替代的地方。首先，网购缺乏对商品的直观印象。有时候商家提供的图片是经过软件美化过的，你发现实物和你的期望相差甚远的时候你会感到失望。其次，网购退货很麻烦，有时候你只能以自付运费为代价来达到目的。最后，网购存在很多假冒产品以及诈骗，而且商品质量不像传统店铺里的那样有保证。

      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.

根据以上几点，网购仍旧有待提高以取代传统购物的位置。但是，网上业务的潜力很大，它将在贸易市场中占相当大份额。
