超級市場-購物-競爭

Nowadays,supermarkets are constantly evolving to get ahead of the competition.They differ mainly in their sizes rather than the products they have to offer.

現(xiàn)今，各家超市仍在不斷地發(fā)展改進以便超越其競爭的對手。全國有幾千(萬)家超市。他們主要的不同是在于其規(guī)模而不是在于他們所提供的產(chǎn)品。

The demand for modern Super-Supermarkets has become extremely high during the last ten years.Nationwide chain stores such as Sam's Club,Costco,and Wal-Mart have started to combine the normal department store with grocery shopping in one convenient package.Just one step into today's supermarket and you will find everything from food,household products,to hardware supplies as well as cloths and sporting goods.

在近十年來，(一般人對于)現(xiàn)代的超級超市，要求其提供極高標準的服務。如Sam's Costco和Wal-Mart之類的全國連鎖店都開始結合普通的百貨公司和雜貨店，成為一個方便的購物配套服務。只要走進現(xiàn)代化的超級市場，你就可以買到(找到)從食物，家用物品，五金，還有衣服和運動商品等等的所有東西。

To better serve the needs of the customers,many supermarkets have installed state of the art self-checkout terminals,which enables shppers to scan and pay for their goods.This strategy both shortenes the wait line and eliminates the high cost of hiring clerks.Can you imagine what supermarkets will be like ten years from now?

為了更能滿足(服務于)顧客的需要，很多超級市場安裝了最新科技的自動化收銀通道，它可以讓顧客自行結賬并付款。這個設施即縮短了排隊等待的時間，亦可降低雇員工的高額費用。你能想像再過十年之后的超級市場會是什么樣子(的形式)嗎?
