随着网络、通信和信息技术在国际贸易和商业领域的广泛应用，通过Internet实现商务活动的国际化、信息化和无纸化，已成为国际商务发展的一大趋势。电子商务正是为了适应这种以全球为市场的变化而出现和发展起来的。 电子商务从广义上讲，是指人们通过计算机网络进行的各种商务活动。它可以使企业跟供应商更紧密地联系，更快地满足客户要求；也可以让企业在全球范围内选择最佳供应商，在全球市场上销售商品，并能够大大缩减生产和销售成本。 电子商务是一种全新的经济形态、全新的经济模式，要取代传统的以GDP来衡量的经济模式，是整个社会范围内的一次全新的巨大变革和发展，因此，需要有一支浩大的、有活力的、有创新能力的管理队伍和技术队伍，这样才能尽快促进我国的新经济发展，缩小与发达国家的差距。正因为如此，今天许多高等院校都设有与电子商务相关的专业，而“电子商务专业英语”自然成了这些专业的必修课程。

[Para 1] Electronic Business， commonly referred to as "eBusiness" or "e-business"， may bedefined as the utilisation of information and communication technologies （ICT） in support of all theactivities of business. Commerce constitutes the exchange of products and services between businesses，groups and individuals and hence can be seen as one of the essential activities of any business. Hence，electronic commerce or eCommerce focuses on the use of ICT to enable the external activities andrelationships of the business with individuals， groups and other businesses. [Para 2] Electronic business methods enable companies to link their internal and external dataprocessing systems more efficiently and flexibly， to work more closely with suppliers and partners， andto better satisfy the needs and expectations of their customers. [Para 31 In practice， e-business is more than just e-commerce. While e-business refers to morestrategic focus with an emphasis on the functions that occur using electronic capabilities， e-commerceis a subset of an overall e-business strategy. E-commerce seeks to add revenue streams using the WorldWide Web or the Internet to build and enhance relationships with clients and partners and to improveefficiency using the Empty Vessel strategy. Often， e-commerce involves the application of knowledgemanagement systems. [Para 4] E-business involves business processes spanning the entire value chain： electronicpurchasing and supply chain management， processing orders electronically， handling customer service，and cooperating with business partners. Special technical standards for e-business facilitate theexchange of data between companies. E-business software solutions allow the integration of intra andinter firm business processes. E-business can be conducted using the Web， the Internet， intranets，extranets， or some combination of these.
