大体能看懂这篇文章,但是有些地方还是模棱两可的感觉, 听完笃师的讲解惘然大悟.再一次体会到语文水平的重要性,很多地方明白是这个意思但是要表达出来就很难。这篇文章真的有很多地方可以套到作文里,很实用。没读这篇文章之前认为亚马逊跟淘宝差不多,提供一个平台进行买卖交易,对亚马逊接触最多的就是每次打开kindle商店看到各种电子书推荐。也知道亚马逊和Google这些公司不仅仅只是涉及单一的领域,但是从来没有具体的看一些跟它有关的文章。以前觉得淘宝很牛逼它做的很大,今天发现哇亚马逊这么牛逼啊,之前自己都不知道,瞬间觉得自己好无知。一个公司能走的有多远真的跟决策者的眼界有很大关系。通过学习掌握了两种介绍亚马逊市值全球第五的表达方式。喜欢看这类文章觉得它逻辑很清楚,很容易把握中心,一点都不绕来绕去, 虽然有些句子真的很绕一下子拐不过来。
