English term

buy into

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) SaaS
One of the greatest advantages of SaaS is “reuse,” which in my own opinion really is the foundation for all other benefits of the paradigm. When you buy into using a SaaS solution for your enterprise, you’re ultimately admitting that you’ve chosen not to reinvent the wheel and will simply leverage an existing solution, one that you can implement faster and cheaper, at a minimum, and where the solution will be “good enough,” if not the best.
这个短语有“相信/接受”的意思,但在这里后面跟了doing结构,不知如何翻译?

Shaunna (X) Mar 3, 2007:
是啊。我也是忐忑。先把答案寫好了,沒發就撤了。后來想想,不說難受,就還是答了。沒有字典定義,所以我舉了那兩個例子,那裏buy into的用法也顯然不是字典上的任何一條,而是更接近于“選擇”、“習慣”。你自己決定怎么譯吧。我這兒沒有更具說服力的論據了。
clearwater (asker) Mar 3, 2007:
@Shaunna:我非常赞同“选择”的译法。但跟你一样,我查了许多词典,也没有buy into的这层意思。没有肯定的来源或出处,总有些忐忑。

I am not very sure but here is what I feel about this "buy into" here:
It does not only mean believing the idea and adopting the solution, but also, and more pertinently, using it or even using it as the main source (or whatever it is). So I'm thinking of:
如果您的企业选择使用/应用。。。

In a sense, "buy into" here is almost like "grow into", or "become accustomed to", but just not so strong.

I can't find a dictionary entry that would define such meanings for "buy into", but here are some examples where "buy into" are used similarly:

"...casino rmlike 2 of my favourite films but in recent years he bought into going in really bad films where..."

agree Jason Ma : Actually, meaning of some words are vigue. 比如:选择/接受了毒品就是走上了一条不归路。我看不出什么区别。

接受SaaS的解决方案/理念

If you buy into an idea,solution or theory, you believe and accept it. An informal use.
即,如果一个企业选择使用SaaS 理念 ‘using a SaaS solution ’
