【英音模仿秀】推特！推特！

❤ 模仿文本：Twitter is part of many people's lives. It's an instant purveyor¹ of news and opinion for millions all around the world. But is it actually a profitable business? Well that's the key question as it gets ready to launch on the stock market. In fact the truth right now is it isn't making a profit. In fact, it made a loss of $69 million in the first six months of the year. So what're its financial prospects²? What have we learned about how the Twitter business works? I asked the BBC technology correspondent Mark Gregory.

 

❤ 译文：Twitter是很多人生活的一部分，它能瞬时将消息和观点传递给全球上百万用户，但是Twitter真的赚钱么？Twitter既然准备上市，那这就成了关键问题了。事实上，Twitter现在不仅不赚钱，今年上半年还亏了6900万美元。那么Twitter的经济前景如何呢？我们又了解到了哪些关于Twitter运营方面的消息呢？BBC科技记者Mark Gregory带来报道。
