CATTI二级笔译：亚马逊总裁收购华盛顿邮报
没有人能预料到年轻的亚马逊掌门人会一举收购有135年历史的《华盛顿邮报》，《纽约客》甚至戏谑称贝索斯收购华邮是“在网上不知道点错了什么键”。互联网巨头贝索斯以不到百度收购91助手八分之一的价格，就拿下这份揭露水门事件丑闻令尼克松总统下台的百年大报，而业界讨论的焦点在于贝索斯收购华邮目的何在？他的互联网行业背景又能如何帮助这份传统纸媒进行“基因突变”浴火重生？
The boss of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has agreed to purchase the Washington Post newspaper for $250m (￡163m).
Mr Bezos is buying the paper and its other print properties in a personal capacity.
The Post has been owned by the Graham family for 80 years.
"Years of familiar newspaper-industry challenges made us wonder if there might be another owner who would be better for the Post," said Post chief executive, Donald Graham.
"Jeff Bezos' proven technology and business genius, his long-term approach and his personal decency make him a uniquely good new owner for the Post."
The Washington Post Company also owns Kaplan, a test preparation company, in addition to other properties. Those will stay under the ownership of the Grahams as part of a yet-unnamed entity.
The sale is expected to be completed in the next 60 days.
