l 背景介紹:
博通(Broadcom)是一家製造手機晶片的廠商,其對手是另一家稱為高通(Qualcomm)的公司,後者在手機4G LTE通訊技術市場上扮演舉足輕重的地位。
文中提到博通過去幾年大量投資(invest),是為了趕上高通。
但其實,博通在高階的手機通訊市場上,一直是居市場首位,其供應商包括蘋果與三星等廠商,而這兩家公司規模之龐大,也能夠在採購時可以更仔細挑選適合的產品。
l 新聞報導:
Over the last several years, semiconductor maker Broadcom has invested a lot of money in trying to catch up to baseband industry leader Qualcomm, which is estimated to control 95% of the emerging LTE market.
Broadcom has traditionally been strong in the high-end handset connectivity market, supplying both Apple and Samsung, who can afford to pick and choose among the best components.
- 1. catch up:加緊腳步以趕上其他對手。
例句: Tom finally caught up to the leader on the last lap of the race.
- 2. pick and choose:非常仔細地挑選。
例句:With such a limited supply of fresh fruit, you won't be able to pick and choose.
