　　根据一项调查结果显示，孩子们正逐步表现出对网上购物的强烈兴趣，他们当中超过半数的人曾经有过在线购物的经历。根据英国哈里法克斯银行（Halifax）的调查，在7岁到16岁这一年龄段的孩子中，有53％的人曾通过互联网买过东西，这一比例较2004年增加了10％。
　　More than half of children preferred buying things over the Internet to buying them on the high street,while 61 percent of those who had purchased things online said it was easier to buy certain items over the Internet than in shops. However,Boys were more likely to be Internet shoppers than girls,with 60 percent of boys saying they had bought items online, compared with just 46 percent of girls. Boys were more likely to always prefer buying things online, while girls were more likely to still like the actual high street shopping experience.
　　与过去繁华的商业街购物相比，半数以上的孩子更愿意通过互联网购物。在有过网上购物经历的孩子中，61％的人表示网上购物的便捷性要胜过商场。而且，男孩儿成为网上购物者的可能性要高于女孩儿，60％受调查的男孩儿称自己曾经在网上买过所需物品，而女孩儿仅为46％。男孩儿总是倾向于在网上购物，女孩儿似乎依然更热衷于到那些繁华的商业街上去亲身体会现场购物的乐趣。
　　The most common items for young people to buy over the Internet were CDs and tapes or computer games and equipment,both at 45 percent, while 43 percent of children had bought DVDs and videos and 37 percent had bought gifts. Children spent most money on computer games and equipment,with 13 percent saying they spent more than 20 pounds online on these items a year, followed by 12 percent who spent more than 20 a year on mobile phones and 11 percent who spent the same amount on clothes.

　　Cheryl Millington, head of savings at Halifax, said:“We are not only seeing the emergence of a generation of young consumers, but also keen cyber-consumers. While children often lead the way in Internet use within the family home, parents have an important role to play in ensuring they stay safe while online.”
　　哈里法克斯银行储蓄部的主管谢丽尔・米灵顿表示：“我们不应只看到新一代消费者已经浮出水面，我们还应意识到这些人都是网上购物的狂热发烧友。由于一般情况下青少年总是一个家庭在互联网应用上的先行者，所以在保证孩子安全使用网络这一点上，父母们可谓责任重大。”
