名词解释

Noun interpretation

中国第一宗网络购物发生在1996年的11月，购物人是加拿大驻中国大使贝详，他通过实华开公司的网点，购进了一只景泰蓝“龙凤牡丹”。早在1999年以前，中国互联网的先知们就开始建立B2C网站，致力于在中国推动网络购物。但这种做法在当时遭到了经济学界的普遍质疑。

China's first online shopping took place in November 1996. The shopper was Canadian ambassador to China Bei Xiang. He bought a cloisonne "dragon, Phoenix and peony" through the outlets of shihuakai company. As early as 1999, the prophets of China's Internet began to establish B2C websites to promote online shopping in China. However, this practice was widely questioned by the economic circles at that time.

自1991年起，中国先后在海关、外贸、交通航运的部门开展了EDI（电子数据交换）的应用，启动了金卡、金关、金税过程。1996年，外贸部成立中国国际电子商务中心。1997年，网上书店开始出现，网上购物及中国商品订货系统初现端倪。1998年7月，中国商品交易与市场网站正式运行，北京、上海启动了电子商务工程。

Since 1991, China has successively carried out the application of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) in the departments of customs, foreign trade and transportation and shipping, and started the process of gold card, gold customs and gold tax. In 1996, the Ministry of foreign trade established the China international e-commerce center. In 1997, online bookstores began to appear, and online shopping and China's commodity ordering system began to take shape. In July 1998, China's commodity trading and market website was officially put into operation, and e-commerce projects were launched in Beijing and Shanghai.
