Businesswomen have started to learn foreign languages and artificial intelligence technology at the Yiwu International Trade Market in Yiwu, East China’s Zhejiang province.
在中国东部浙江省义乌市的义乌国际贸易市场，女商人开始学习外语和人工智能技术。
Data show that the average daily visit of foreigners to the market has reached about 3,500 this year. “Foreign buyers are more interested in sellers who can speak their native language because it is easier to make a deal. Speaking the same language helps to build trust and connection, which can turn into friendship,” said Fu Jiangyan, a 42-year-old businesswoman in Yiwu. Fu’s shop is one of the 75,000 outlets at the Yiwu International Trade Market, which supplies nearly 2.1 million varieties of goods to the world, including about two-thirds of the world’s Christmas decorations.
数据显示，今年平均每天有3500名外国人到访这个市场。“外国买家对会说他们母语的卖家更感兴趣，因为这样更容易达成交易。说同一种语言有助于建立信任和联系，这可以转化为友谊，”义乌42岁的女商人付江艳说。付的店是义乌国际贸易市场75000家门店之一，该市场向全球供应近210万种商品，其中包括全球约三分之二的圣诞装饰品。
In the first four months of this year, Yiwu’s import and export value exceeded (超过) 201 billion yuan ($27.71 billion), up 22 percent year-on-year. Africa, Latin America and the ASEAN countries are Yiwu’s major trading partners, and Yiwu’s foreign trade with India and Saudi Arabia is also growing rapidly.
今年前四个月，义乌进出口总值超过2010亿元，同比增长22%。非洲、拉丁美洲和东盟国家是义乌的主要贸易伙伴，义乌与印度、沙特阿拉伯的对外贸易也在快速增长。
Currently, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence are opening up even more possibilities for business people such as Fu Jiangyan. Thanks to an AI intelligent innovation service platform launched last year, a recorded Chinese video can be automatically converted into 36 languages, and the output can be adjusted to the shape of the mouth based on the pronunciation.
目前，人工智能等尖端技术正在为付江艳这样的商务人士开辟更多的可能性。得益于去年推出的AI智能创新服务平台，录制的中文视频可以自动转换为36种语言，并可以根据发音调整输出到口型。
At present, more than 10,000 merchants in Yiwu are using AI to conduct business. Fu Jiangyan and seven other English-speaking Yiwu owners even promoted their products to global audiences via a big screen in the Times Square in New York last month. Fu Jiangyan also mastered skills such as short-video editing and sold out a type of socks with the help of an English-language video within seconds.
目前，义乌有1万多家商户正在使用人工智能开展业务。上个月，付江燕和其他7位说英语的义乌店主甚至通过纽约时代广场的大屏幕向全球观众宣传他们的产品。付江艳还掌握了短视频编辑等技能，在一段英文视频的帮助下，一款袜子在几秒钟内就被抢购一空。
With the aid of foreign languages and new technologies, businesswomen in Yiwu can use various digital tools to contact customers, offer prices, receive orders and do business with global customers.
在外语和新技术的帮助下，义乌的女商人可以使用各种数字工具联系客户，报价，接受订单，与全球客户开展业务。
