中国硬件和软件发展

中国硬件业的发展取得了举世瞩目的成功。在过去的五年中，中国的个人电脑销售额年增长率约为40%，成为亚洲地区乃至世界的一刻耀眼的明星。过去的五年中，中国的软件业虽然也得到了发展，但从目前正在使用的计算机数量看来，软件业并未达到预期的增长。与同一地区的其他国家相比，在中国，每台计算机的软件收入低得惊人，而这确实衡量某个市场的软件业发展健康与否的一个重要标准。

参考译文：

The growth of the hardware industry in China is a worldwide success story recognized throughout world. With annual growth in PC sales of 40% over the past five years, China is a bright star of the Asian region and even around the world. While the software industry in China has also grown over the past five years, it has not seen the level of growth one would expect when given the number of PCs in use. Software revenue per PC, one measure of the health of the software industry in a market, is particularly low in China compared to other countries in the region.
