好，让我们再进一步把眼光放到中国，请看一下B图。目前电脑总拥有量在六千万台左右，这条增长线的斜率告诉我们，在那么短的时间里增长量是如此之大。当然，和中国的总人口数比起来，六千万只是沧海一粟。但别忘了，这也许就是中国个人电脑市场为什么如此火爆的原因。

OK, let's now move one step forward and set our sights on China. Please take a look at diagram B. There are approximately 60 million computers in use in China currently. The slope of this line of growth tells us just how quickly this number has grown in such a short amount of time. Of course, compared to China's total population, 60 million is merely a drop in the ocean. But don't forget that this is probably why the market for personal computers in China is so hot right now.
