Since retailing touches the economy and society in so many ways, e-commerce is already having broad effects well beyond the industry itself. Small new manufacturers are able to challenge big, established ones, thanks to the ease of selling goods online. Consumers are enjoying a broader choice of goods and more price transparency than ever before. But for bricks-and-mortar shops these are difficult times. In some parts of the world shopping malls are being blighted as their customers move online. Many traditional retail jobs will vanish as shops close and the remaining ones use more automation.

　　参考译文：零售业关系到经济和社会生活的方方面面，因而电子商务影响广泛，其影响范围已经远远超出行业本身。网上销售十分便利，一些新兴的小型制造商如今已有能力挑战大型老 牌制造商。消费者的购物选择比以往任何时候都丰富，价格透明度比以往任何时候都要高。但对实体店而言，眼下正是困难时期。在世界某些地区，顾客转向线上消费导致一些商场陷入生存困境。大量实体店铺关闭，继续经营的门店也更多采用自动化技术，许多传统零售行业的岗位即将消失。
