Google, the dominant Internet search company, is planning to raise the stakes in its intensifying competition with Yahoo and Microsoft by unveiling a new consumer-oriented e-mail service.
The new service, to be named Gmail, is scheduled to be released on April 1, according to people involved with the plan. It will be "soft launched" in a manner that Google has followed with other features that it has added to its Web site, with little fanfare and presented initially as a long-running test.
(46)
E-mail has become a crucial weapon in the competition to win the loyalty of Internet users, who often turn to one or two Web sites as the foundation for their online activities.
(47)
MSN, from Microsoft, and Yahoo are preparing to attack Google’s role as the first place most people turn to conduct an Internet search.
Google, which refused to comment on this latest move, is starting far behind Microsoft (34.4 million users, according to the Nielsen Net Ratings), AOL(31.8 million), and Yahoo(39.9 million). But Google, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., is planning to play on its information search strength to compete with the existing services.
(48)
Google will offer consumers better access to searching their own e-mail and could well up-set the industry balance by offering free access to services that previously were available only by paying a monthly subscription fee.
(49)
The standard industry practice is to offer e-mail services, providing only limited storage free and charging higher fees to users who want to preserve a larger number of e-mail messages for capabilities like online storage.
Google, by contrast, is planning a service to be supported by advertising that will permit its users to store very large amounts of mail at no cost.
(50)
In recent weeks, Google has picked up the pace of updating and adding new features to its basic search service, as part of its effort to position itself as a strong business ready to sell shares to investors in what is expected to be the most popular initial public offering by a Silicon Valley company in years.
Google has been closely watched in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street during the last year for any indication about its plans for an initial public stock offering. The company has steadfastly declined to respond to speculation.
选项
答案
Google将为客户提供更便捷的途径来搜索自己的电子邮件。通过免费提供以前只有每月付费才能享有的服务,它可能会彻底打破该行业的平衡。
解析
本句为复合句,句子主干结构是Google will offer consumers better access and could well upset the industry balance。介词短语to searching their own e-mail作宾语补足语;that previously were available only by paying a monthly subscription fee是定语从句,修饰先行词services。其中paying a monthly subscription fee是动名词短语,作介词by的宾语。本句句子较长,翻译时通过调整语序,将句子断开。另外,注意词汇引申,upset原意为"打翻",这里译成"打乱"。
