With the stock at such lofty valuations, any threat to Baidu's rapid growth has to be taken seriously.
在股票處于如此之高的估值的情況下，對(duì)百度迅速增長(zhǎng)形成威脅的任何事情都必須加以認(rèn)真對(duì)待。
Baidu shares have tripled from their December low and now trade at more than 50 times expected earnings. Bullish analysts say this is justified, as they expect Baidu's profit to grow more than 40% each year for the next three years.

Certainly Baidu has been able to achieve that growth in the past, thanks to its commanding lead in a young Internet search market. China's Internet population continues to grow at a fast clip, but the battle for eyeballs is heating up.

Baidu's biggest threat is Google, which has increased its share of the Chinese search market from 2% in 2003 to 29% at the end of June, according to research firm Analysys.來(lái)源：www.examda.com
百度的威脅來(lái)自谷歌(Google)。據(jù)研究公司易觀國(guó)際(Analysys)的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，谷歌在中國(guó)搜索市場(chǎng)的占有率從2003年的2%上升到今年6月底的29%。
At the end of March, Google began offering free music downloads in China, encroaching on what has historically been a major traffic driver for Baidu. In the first month after the service was launched, there were 2.2 million searches for music on Google's Chinese site, according to estimates by iResearch.
3月底，谷歌開始在中國(guó)提供免費(fèi)音樂下載，逐漸“侵占”這項(xiàng)歷來(lái)都是百度訪問量主要推動(dòng)力的業(yè)務(wù)。據(jù)艾瑞咨詢(iResearch)的估計(jì)數(shù)字，這項(xiàng)服務(wù)推出后的第一個(gè)月，谷歌中國(guó)網(wǎng)站上音樂搜索達(dá)220萬(wàn)條。
Google is also eyeing the mobile Internet market in China and has secured an exclusive partnership with the largest mobile carrier, China Mobile.

預(yù)計(jì)百度還將面臨來(lái)自阿里巴巴集團(tuán)(Alibaba Group)旗下淘寶網(wǎng)(Taobao.com)更大的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。淘寶網(wǎng)是一個(gè)在線零售商和拍賣網(wǎng)站，類似亞馬遜(Amazon.com)和eBay二合一的產(chǎn)物。http://ks.examda.com
The site, which analysts expect to account for as much as 2% of China's total retail sales this year, threatens to lure advertising dollars away from Baidu's search site.
分析師們預(yù)計(jì)，今年淘寶網(wǎng)的零售額將占中國(guó)總零售額的至多2%。該網(wǎng)站有可能會(huì)搶走百度搜索網(wǎng)站的部分廣告收入。
Baidu's advantage is its large user base. With 61% of the search market, it has ample data to tailor advertising and search results to Chinese users. But at present valuations, any slip will prove costly.
