阿里云是中国电商巨头阿里巴巴集团旗下公司，中国新冠疫情爆发使对数字服务的需求增加，该公司将在未来三年将2千亿元投入到云基础结构上。
该公司在二月份说，截止2019年12月，阿里云的季度收益相比前一年的同期增长了62%。
Alibaba’s cloud revenue grew 62% in the quarter ended December 2019 compared with the same quarter a year earlier, the company said in February.
新冠疫情使人们产生对数字服务的额外需求，数字服务通常依靠云计算服务和数据中心来实现。
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in extra demand for digital services, which are typically reliant on cloud computing services and data centers to function.
阿里云是中国最大的云计算服务供应商，但在国际上要排在亚马逊和微软之后。
Alibaba Cloud is the largest provider of cloud computing services in China, but falls behind Amazon and Microsoft globally.
阿里巴巴的投资将主要用在操作系统和芯片研发上，同时也会用在数据中心网络上，后者就是其运用这些技术的地方。
Alibaba’s investment will focus on operating system and chip development, as well as on its network of data centers, where the technologies will be deployed.
从今年年初开始，阿里巴巴的技术利用率显著提高。为了降低新冠病毒传播风险，很多公司要求员工在家办公，全国的公司都更加依赖钉钉这样的工具。钉钉是阿里巴巴的企业通信应用程序。
Alibaba has seen a marked increase in the use of its technology since the beginning of the year. As many businesses requested that their employees work from home to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections, companies across China relied more heavily on tools like Dingtalk, Alibaba’s enterprise communications app.
在学校和大学受疫情影响停课以后，钉钉也提供网上学习平台。
Dingtalk also provided a platform for online learning after schools and universities were closed due to the outbreak.
周一，阿里云智能总裁张建锋在声明中说：“新冠疫情给各行业的整体经济造成了附加压力，但也引导我们更多地投入到数字经济中。”
“The Covid-19 pandemic has posed additional stress on the overall economy across sectors, but it also steers us to put more focus on the digital economy,” Jeff Zhang, president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence, said in a statement on Monday.
阿里巴巴在过去两年提高了对云计算的投入，把它视为发展的主动力。
Alibaba has increased its focus on cloud computing over the past two years, seeing the business as a major driver of growth.
阿里巴巴首席执行官张勇此前在接受美国消费者新闻与商业频道采访时说云计算会成为这家电商巨头的“主要业务”。
