希尼爾翻譯公司（www.uxiaohua.cn）2017年5月29日了解到：China has become the world capital of gamers and gaming.

　　中國已經成為了游戲玩家、游戲產業(yè)世界之都。

　　That’s according to a report by specialist firm Atomico, based in London.

　　倫敦風投公司Atomico在一份報告中得出了這一結論。

　　According to the report, the size of the Chinese gamer market now exceeds that in the USA and Europe.

　　據該份報告顯示，目前中國游戲市場的規(guī)模已經超過了美國和歐洲。

　　What’s more, games and gaming are now worth in excess of $100 billion annually to the global economy.

　　此外，中國游戲和游戲產業(yè)價值每年超過了1000億美元。

　　Although the number of gamers in the USA and Europe continues to grow, numbers are rising much faster in China.

　　盡管美國和歐洲游戲玩家的數量持續(xù)增長，但是中國游戲玩家數量增長的速度要快得多。

　　When you consider that Chinese gamers also apparently spend more time and money on their hobbies, you can see why the Chinese market is now so important for gaming firms - many of whom are indeed Chinese.

　　只要你想一想中國玩家很顯然也花費更多的時間和金錢的時候，你就明白為什么現在對于游戲廠商來說中國市場如此重要了——事實上許多游戲廠商也是中國企業(yè)。

　　Interestingly, from an ’East meets West’ perspective, the news comes after we reported earlier in 2017 that a Chinese game developer is investing in a new studio in Scotland.

　　有趣的是，從“東西交匯”的觀點來看，2017年初我們還報道了一家中國游戲開發(fā)商向蘇格蘭一家工作室投資的新聞，

　　Skymoons, who are behind several popular games such as Zombie Wars and Seer Superheroes, have launched the studio in Edinburgh in order to develop a new online multiplayer game.

　　Skymoons旗下有包括《僵尸大戰(zhàn)》和《賽爾號超級英雄》等多款大熱游戲，該公司為了研發(fā)一款新的在線多人游戲，在愛丁堡成立了工作室。

　　Over 20 staff will be based at the site, which has been aided by cooperation between Skymoons and the Scottish government.

　　該工作室有20多名員工，受到了Skymoons和蘇格蘭政府的共同支持。

　　Scotland’s video games industry has been said to be ’booming’, with the country being home to some of the most exciting developers and companies in Europe. It has close to 100 specialist firms, between them employing over 1,000 people.

　　外界認為蘇格蘭的電子游戲產業(yè)正在“高速發(fā)展”，歐洲許多令人興奮的開發(fā)署和企業(yè)都坐落在蘇格蘭。蘇格蘭擁有近百家專門企業(yè)，雇傭超過1000人。
