青蛙的学习专用站，只有学习

Internet users in the U.S. have finally caught up with the rest of the world in their browser choice today, with Google’s Chrome taking over third place from default Apple browser Safari. The browser, first released just two years ago, has led Safari worldwide since last September, but just this week surpassed it in the U.S. as well, according to Internet traffic analytics company StatCounter.

现在美国互联网用户在他们的浏览器选择这个问题终于赶上世界上的其他地区，Google的Chrome从苹果默认的浏览器Safari手中接管了第三名的位置。Chrome这个浏览器发布的时间才两年，已经领先Safari是从去年9月开始，但是这周才在美国赶超它，报告来自互联网浏量分析公司StatCounter。

For some, this is seen as a big win for Google over Apple, as the two companies battle over the search and mobile spheres.

这些看作Google对苹果的一个大胜利，这两家公司的竞争还覆盖到搜索与移动领域。

Worldwide, the browser market is dominated by Internet Explorer, which holds nearly 53% of browser use, with Firefox coming in at just over 31%. Chrome follows with 9% and Safari with under half of that at 4%. The picture is similar for the U.S., but with Chrome and Safari coming in nearly even at around 9%. According to StatCounter, Chrome just barely took the lead over Safari this week with 8.97%, as opposed to Safari’s 8.88%.

全球范围内，IE主导着浏览器市场，使用接近53%，Firefox紧随其后，占31%。Chrome是接下来的9%，Safari低于它的一半，在4%。这张图片反映了美国的情况，但是Chrome跟Safari很接近，都在9%左右。根据StatCounter的统计，Chrome这周以少量的优势8.97%领先于Safari的8.88%。

Chrome has steadily gained ground over the past year, and recently has been stealing away the geeks and early adopters from open-source alternative Firefox. For many of these same users, it has been Chrome’s lack of features that has held them back, but as the little-browser-that-could has added functionality like extensions or location awareness, its speed and minimal design have drawn an ever-increasing user base.

Chrome在过去的一年里已经稳固上涨，现在已经从主流开源的Firefox手中抢走一些客户及之前的使用者。对其中很多相同的用户，由于Chrome一些缺少的功能已经回到Firefox中，但是浏览器可以增加一些功能性的东西，如扩展及本地意识，速度及简单的设计已经拉回一个不断增加的用户群。

很多措词还是不知道怎么选择，感觉很生硬，但又不知道该怎么处理既能体现意思，又能让句子看起来更通顺？

头疼啊。
