commodity economics

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) IP Storage
The benefits shared by all IP Storage solutions derive from advantages associated with standard Ethernet networking:
➤ Mature, well-understood technology with a long history of plug-and-play interoperability
➤ Low costs through commodity economics
➤ Strong roadmap to 40Gb and beyond
别说是“商品经济”。

Discussion

Wenjer Leuschel (X) Feb 10, 2007:
为什么原文说 "Low costs through commodity economics" 而不是 "Low cost through commodity" 或 "Low costs through commodity" 呢?"commodity economics" 有其一定的内涵,不只是“大众化”或“商品化”而已。前人翻译“商品经济”,不会是没有道理的。各式各类的白皮书里多得是“XXX经济”。这天下碍眼的东西可多了。非自己想出来的,有时样样碍眼。
clearwater (asker) Feb 9, 2007:
这是篇有关IP存储技术的白皮书,这里是列举标准以太网网络技术具有的几个优点,译成“XXX经济”总觉得很碍眼。
clearwater (asker) Feb 9, 2007:
Low costs through commodity economics的大意是说:由于商品大众化了,所以成本低下来了。

大众化商品经济

不叫“商品经济”也难;顶多更具体地说是“大众化商品经济”,因为 commodities 原本就是大众化商品。

要不就倒过来说:“大众商品化经济”。

“由于商品大众化了,所以成本低下来了”

下标简洁:“大众化商品经济,低成本”

agree iiiox : 量產效益(聽起來是不是...量產越多,成本越低,售價越低的經濟模式^^?)

在台灣有那種說法。但,commodity economics 的內涵不只量產,還牽涉到其它經濟活動。
agree chica nueva : agree with iiiox' idea, it is part of the production and distribution process. IMO massification/commodification refers more to cultural and social contexts.
