Amazon.com Inc last Tuesday briefly joined Apple Inc to become the second $1 trillion publicly listed US company after its stock price more than doubled in a year as it grew rapidly in retail and cloud computing.
上周二，在线零售商亚马逊盘中市值突破1万亿美元，成为继苹果之后美国第二家市值达万亿美元的上市公司。随着亚马逊在零售和云计算领域的迅速发展，其股价在一年内上涨了一倍有余。
Its shares traded as high as $2,050.50 before easing a little to end the session at $2,039.51, up 1.3%.
当日，亚马逊股价最高升至2050.50美元，随后小幅回落，终盘收报2039.51美元，上涨1.3%。
If the online retailer's shares keep up their recent pace, it would be a matter of when, not if, Amazon's stock market valuation eclipses that of iPhone maker Apple, which reached $1 trillion on Aug 2.
如果股价延续近期上涨步伐，亚马逊市值超越iPhone制造商苹果只是时间问题。苹果在8月2日触及万亿美元市值大关。
Apple took almost 38 years as a public company to achieve the trillion dollar milestone, while Amazon got there in 21 years.
苹果上市后花了近38年时间才实现市值万亿美元，而亚马逊只用了21年。
While Apple's iPhone and other devices remain popular and its revenues are growing, it is not keeping up with Amazon's blistering sales growth.
尽管苹果的iPhone和其他设备依然很受欢迎，营收也在不断增长，但仍旧是赶不上亚马逊强劲的销售增长速度。
Amazon has impressed investors by diversifying into virtually every corner of the retail industry, altering how consumers buy products and putting big pressure on many brick-and-mortar stores.
亚马逊在零售业几乎在每个角落都实现了多元化，改变了消费者的购买方式，并给许多实体店铺施加巨大压力，给投资者留下了深刻的印象。
"It says a lot about Amazon and its ever-increasing dominance of segments of the retailing world as well as the web services business," said Peter Tuz, President Of Chase Investment Counsel In Charlottesville, Virginia. "They have a tiny share of the worldwide retail sales market so there's a lot left to capture there."
弗吉尼亚州夏洛茨维尔大通投资顾问总裁皮特·图兹表示：“这说明亚马逊及其在零售业和网络服务业务领域日益增长的主导地位。他们在全球零售市场占有的市场份额很小，因此还有很大的提升空间。”
Analysts expect Apple's revenue to jump 14.9% in its fiscal year ending in September, according to Thomson Reuters data, a hefty rise but still far short of Amazon's expected revenue growth of 32% for 2018.
汤森路透的数据显示，分析师预计在截至9月的本财年苹果营收将增长14.9%，这一增幅相当高，但仍然远低于亚马逊2018年32%的预期营收增幅。
