9月29日,中国互联网络信息中心(CNNIC)发布第46次《中国互联网络发展状况统计报告》。
The number of internet users in China had reached 940 million as of June, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total, according to the report. The internet penetration rate in China reached 67 percent, about 5 percentage points higher than the global average, the report said.
报告显示,截至2020年6月,我国网民规模达9.40亿,相当于全球网民的五分之一。互联网普及率达67.0%,约高于全球平均水平5个百分点。
【单词讲解】
这里的penetration rate多用于商业领域,指“渗透率”,常用的专业表达是market penetration rate(市场渗透率),指某个商品或品牌在整个市场中的普及程度以及销售情况。那么internet penetration rate指的就是互联网在全国的普及及使用程度。类似的表达还有broadband/mobile-phone penetration(宽带/手机普及程度)。
城乡数字鸿沟显著缩小
Residents in 98 percent of China's poor villages had access to the internet through fiber-optic cables,said the report, noting that the urban-rural digital gap had been significantly narrowed.
数据显示,全国贫困村通光纤比例达到98%,城乡数字鸿沟显著缩小。

这里的digital gap就是“数字鸿沟”,又称为“信息鸿沟”,也可以用digital divide来表示,是指在全球数字化进程中,不同国家、地区、行业、企业、社区之间,由于对信息、网络技术的拥有程度、应用程度以及创新能力的差别而造成的信息落差及贫富进一步两极分化的趋势。消除数字鸿沟有助于缩小rural-urban divide(城乡差距)。
