[科技] 微软关闭MSN中文网转型何方？ (双语)

　　微软日前发布通知，宣布将于6月7日起关闭MSN中文门户网站，希望借此将中国市场的发展重点从提供网络内容，转向为Windows 10设备提供软件和服务。“微软去年投入精力发展中国市场，提供了包括Windows 10和云计算在内的一系列产品，还在那里设立了美国之外最大的研发中心。”微软发言人表示。

　　Microsoft is planning to shut down its MSN website in China in June, the company said in an emailed statement on Tuesday. "Microsoft is deeply committed to China, offering a range of products counting Windows 10, cloud services to customers, and hosting the leading research and development center outside of the U.S." Microsoft said.

　　早在2014年10月31日，微软正式关闭中国地区MSN即时通讯服务，标志着MSN即时通讯服务彻底被Skype取代。而此次微软决定关闭MSN中文门户网站，原因尚不清楚。

　　The giant tech company stopped its instant messaging service in China in 2014. A spokesperson has yet to respond to the reason behind the closure, according to CNN.

　　微软MSN中文门户网站在中国大陆拥有很多强有力的竞争对手，包括新浪网、搜狐网等门户网站。而其旗下的新浪微博、搜狗引擎搜索也分别与微软旗下的twitter、必应存在竞争关系。

　　Microsoft has been faced with competition with other local players, such as sina.com, which provides a twitter-like micro-blogging site Sina Weibo; and sohu.com, which runs a search engine in China: sogou.com.

　　虽然微软在中国收缩了面向消费者的网络服务，但该公司还是在该国积极拓展云计算业务。微软在北京和上海拥有大型数据中心，为企业客户提供云计算和云存储服务。

　　While Microsoft is closing its website in China, the company has been actively expanding its cloud computing offerings in the country. Microsoft is operating massive data centers in Beijing and Shanghai for the provision of web-based, on-demand computing services and data storage for corporate customers, according to the Wall Street Journal.
