GRE作文之Cooperation and competition

字號:

Cooperation and competition自身應(yīng)該說就是個幾乎永遠(yuǎn)說不清的話題,在這里自身的對立和協(xié)調(diào)看起來就非常的有意思。我在google上面隨便搜索一下,就找到例如Cooperation and competition in ecology, in sports, in bacteria, 很多不同領(lǐng)域中的各異的paper和觀點(diǎn)。 我想對于一個復(fù)雜的問題而言,基本上做不到直接斷言cooperation over competition或者反過來,而如果我們能站的高一點(diǎn)看清兩者之間的千絲萬縷的聯(lián)系,對這個話題我們應(yīng)該就能更好的把握一些了。
    {{AD}}下面這篇文章讀起來頗有一番滋味,里面有不少觀點(diǎn)和句子都頗有性格。而從全文的角度而言,不知道是否有點(diǎn)“To cooperate so as to compete”的意思呢?且讀一讀看看。

    Originally the Internet was developed to enable the sharing of information on a common platform with others in their related fields. 最初看到orignally的時(shí)候就一下子引起了我對文章的興趣。
    A common protocol or computer language was developed, which allowed very different computers all over the world to be talk to each other. This sharing of information accelerated research and development in almost every area human endeavor. 至此兩次提到sharing.
    In the business world the free exchange of information is not exactly the accepted formula for success. But on the net, things work a little differently. The number one reason people are here in the first place is to find information and solutions to problems.
    Just as the nature of a vacuum is to fill itself up, 這里這個contrast做得很有意思,實(shí)際上如果大家有印象背過oxymoron這個詞的話,文章里面出現(xiàn)類似的觀點(diǎn),表述,往往很能打動人并引起思索的。這其實(shí)并不難,自己看法深入到相應(yīng)的層次,就很隨手寫得出來 in business a need attracts a solution. Business success of at its core is simply to "find a need and fill it".
    Have you ever wondered that Burger King, and Taco Bell locate their stores next door to McDonalds. Everyone does more business precisely because people visit the general area when they want fast food. Since everyone on the block is selling fast food they choose the product that satisfies their hunger at that time. The same relationship works in shopping malls.
    Shopping centers are successful in the real world because they attract more traffic than any single storefront might attract on its own. The Internet as a whole operates much like one big shopping center.我對這兩段的理解是,大家把生意都開在一起,從而總體上提高客流訪問,雖然彼此之間肯定有競爭,但是前后乘一下就發(fā)現(xiàn)賺的是everyone.
    Internet malls rarely offer an advantage for consumers who want as much choice as possible. Link rings, testimonials, and referrals serve the same purposes on-line.
    There is plenty of money to be earned on the Internet your willing to look at the long run. Internet marketing is niche marketing. Cooperation is one of the most powerful secrets to Internet success. Rather than attempting to be a specialist in every aspect of your special area of expertise share the limelight with others. (這句話我沒看明白)
    In business it's often better to be a key player on a minor league team than a bench warmer on a major league team. 好像又是big fish small pond的理論了,呵呵,這里看看人家使用的不同的表述 If your product is not the best it's more profitable to sell someone else's product than lose the sale or lose the trust of your customer.有意思 In the long run it's more profitable to grow a customer for life than to make a sale that isn't the best long-term solution for your customer.
    Successful businesses depend on satisfied return customers. When someone gets a referral from a source they trust it's much easier to make the sale. I give testimonials whenever I find a product I can recommend. It turns out that I get at least as many referrals from others as I give out. Much of my income comes from referrals from so-called competitors, many just returning a favor.
    Many successful Internet marketers are doing business in this manner on-line. Affiliate programs and viral marketing approaches along with other forms of "pay per action" selling are becoming the normal way to grow an on-line business. While this approach may not the fastest way to grow a business it's a great long-term strategy.
    Cooperation builds trust and creditability on-line; trust and credibility in turn builds sales.這個in turn的用法可以記住了以后有機(jī)會使出來,尤其是這種有contrast的句子 Rather than fear my competitors I embrace them. 有意思It simply makes good business sense to cooperate. Prime the pump; give if you want to get.
