中國(guó)的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)社區(qū)是全世界發(fā)展最快的，2010年，中國(guó)約有4.2億網(wǎng)民，而且人數(shù)還在迅速增長(zhǎng)�；ヂ�(lián)網(wǎng)的日漸流行帶來(lái)了重大的社會(huì)變化。中國(guó)網(wǎng)民往往不同于美國(guó)網(wǎng)民。美國(guó)網(wǎng)民更多的是受實(shí)際需要的驅(qū)使，用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)為工具發(fā)電子郵件、買賣商品、做研究、規(guī)劃旅程或付款。中國(guó)網(wǎng)民更多是出于社交原因使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，因而更廣泛的使用論壇、博客、聊天室等等。

　　The Chinese Internet communities are developing at the highest speed in the world. There were about 420 million netizens in China in 2010 and this numbers keeps increasing rapidly. The growing popularity of the Internet brings about significant social changes. Chinese netizens are different from their American counterparts. The latter is more motivated by real needs. They use Internet as tools of sending emails, purchasing goods, doing research, planning tours or making payments. Chinese netizens use Internet for social reasons. Therefore, Internet forums, blogs and chat rooms are more widely used。
