  • Thank you, Jonathan. It was a record quarter, driven by continued strength of Microsoft Cloud, which surpassed $42 billion in revenue, up 22% in constant currency. Cloud and AI are the essential inputs for every business to expand output, reduce costs and accelerate growth. Now I'll highlight examples starting with infrastructure. We continue to expand our data center capacity.

    謝謝你,喬納森。這是一個創紀錄的季度,得益於微軟雲端運算業務的持續強勁成長,其營收超過 420 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長 22%。雲端和人工智慧是每個企業擴大產出、降低成本和加速成長的必要投入。現在我將重點介紹從基礎設施開始的範例。我們繼續擴大資料中心容量。

  • This quarter alone, we opened DCs in 10 countries across 4 continents. Model capabilities are doubling in performance every 6 months, thanks to multiple compounding scaling laws. We continue to optimize and drive efficiencies across every layer, from DC design to hardware and silicon to system software to model optimization, all towards lowering costs and increasing performance.

  • Company gross margin percentage was also 69%, down 1 point year-over-year, driven by scaling our AI infrastructure. Operating expenses increased 2% and 3% in constant currency, lower than expected due to our focus on cost efficiencies as well as investments that shifted to Q4.

    公司毛利率為 69%,較去年同期下降 1 個百分點,這得益於我們擴大人工智慧基礎設施的推動。營業費用以固定匯率計算增長了 2% 和 3%,低於預期,因為我們注重成本效率以及轉移到第四季度的投資。

  • Operating margins increased 1 point year-over-year to 46%, better than expected as we continue to focus on building high-performing teams and increasing our agility by reducing layers with fewer managers.

    營業利潤率年增 1 個百分點至 46%,好於預期,因為我們繼續專注於打造高績效團隊,並透過減少管理人員的層級來提高我們的靈活性。

  • At a total company level, head count at the end of March was 2% higher than a year ago and was down slightly compared to last quarter. Now to our segment results.

    從整個公司層級來看,3 月底的員工總數比去年同期增加了 2%,但與上一季相比略有下降。現在來看看我們的分部業績。

  • Revenue from Productivity and Business Processes was $29.9 billion and grew 10% and 13% in constant currency, ahead of expectations, driven by LinkedIn, Microsoft 365 Commercial products, and Microsoft 365 Consumer. M365 Commercial cloud revenue increased 12% and 15% in constant currency, in line with expectations. ARPU growth was again driven by E5 and M365 Copilot.

    生產力和業務流程收入為 299 億美元,成長 10%,以固定匯率計算成長 13%,超出預期,這得益於 LinkedIn、Microsoft 365 商業產品和 Microsoft 365 消費者的推動。M365 商業雲端收入以固定匯率計算成長 12% 和 15%,符合預期。E5 和 M365 Copilot 再次推動了 ARPU 的成長。

  • With M365 Copilot, we continue to see growth across customer segments and geos. Paid M365 Commercial seats grew 7% year-over-year to over $430 million. While we continue to see installed base expansion across all customer segments, growth was primarily driven by our small and medium business and frontline worker offerings.

    借助 M365 Copilot,我們繼續看到客戶群和地理的成長。付費 M365 商業席位年增 7%,達到 4.3 億美元以上。雖然我們繼續看到所有客戶群的安裝基礎都在擴大,但成長主要來自我們的中小型企業和第一線員工產品。

  • M365 Commercial products revenue increased 5% and 8% in constant currency, ahead of expectations due to higher-than-expected office transactional purchasing. M365 Consumer cloud revenue increased 10% and 12% in constant currency, ahead of expectations, driven by higher-than-expected subscription growth following the January price increase.

    M365 商業產品收入成長 5%,以固定匯率計算成長 8%,由於辦公室交易採購量高於預期,超出預期。M365 消費者雲端營收成長 10%,以固定匯率運算成長 12%,超出預期,這得益於 1 月價格上漲後訂閱量成長高於預期。

  • M365 Consumer subscriptions grew 9% to $87.7 million. LinkedIn revenue increased 7% and 8% in constant currency. Results were ahead of expectations due to better-than-expected performance across all businesses. The Talent Solutions business continues to be impacted by weakness in the hiring market. Dynamics 365 revenue increased 16% and 18% in constant currency, in line with expectations with continued growth across all workloads.

    M365 消費者訂閱量成長 9%,達到 8,770 萬美元。LinkedIn 營收以固定匯率計算成長了 7%,成長了 8%。由於所有業務的表現均優於預期,因此業績超出預期。人才解決方案業務持續受到招聘市場疲軟的影響。Dynamics 365 營收成長 16%,以固定匯率計算成長 18%,符合預期,所有工作負載持續成長。

  • Segment gross margin dollars increased 10% and 13% in constant currency, and gross margin percentage was relatively unchanged year-over-year even with the impact of scaling our AI infrastructure. Operating expenses increased 1% and 2% in constant currency, and operating income increased 15% and 18% in constant currency.

    以固定匯率計算,分部毛利率增加了 10%,而毛利率百分比與去年同期相比基本保持不變,即使受到擴大 AI 基礎設施的影響。以固定匯率計算,營業費用成長 1% 和 2%,以固定匯率計算,營業收入成長 15% 和 18%。

  • Next, the Intelligent Cloud segment. Revenue was $26.8 billion and grew 21% and 22% in constant currency, ahead of expectations driven by Azure. In Azure and other cloud services, revenue grew 33% and 35% in constant currency, including 16 points from AI services.

    接下來是智慧雲部分。營收為 268 億美元,成長 21%,以固定匯率計算成長 22%,超出 Azure 推動的預期。Azure 和其他雲端服務的營收以固定匯率計算分別成長 33% 和 35%,其中 AI 服務成長了 16 個百分點。

  • Focused execution drove non-AI services results. where we saw accelerated growth in our enterprise customer segment as well as some improvement in our scale motions. And in Azure AI services, we brought capacity online faster than expected.

    專注的執行推動了非人工智慧服務的成果。我們看到企業客戶部門的成長加速以及規模動態的改善。在 Azure AI 服務中,我們比預期更快實現了容量上線。

  • In our on-premises server business, revenue decreased 6% and 4% in constant currency, slightly below expectations driven by renewals with lower in-period revenue recognition from the mix of contracts. The year-over-year decline is reflective of the continued customer shift to cloud offerings.

    在我們的內部伺服器業務中,收入下降了 6%,按固定匯率計算下降了 4%,略低於預期,原因是續約以及合約組合中期內收入確認較低。與去年同期相比的下降反映了客戶持續轉向雲端產品。

  • Enterprise and Partner Services revenue increased 5% and 6% in constant currency, slightly ahead of expectations, due to better-than-expected performance in Enterprise Support Services. Segment gross margin dollars increased 13% and 14% in constant currency, and gross margin percentage decreased 4 points year-over-year driven by scaling our AI infrastructure.

    由於企業支援服務表現優於預期,企業和合作夥伴服務收入分別以固定匯率計算分別成長 5% 和 6%,略高於預期。由於擴大我們的人工智慧基礎設施,分部毛利率以固定匯率計算成長了 13% 和 14%,毛利率百分比較去年同期下降了 4 個百分點。

  • Operating expenses increased 6% and 7% in constant currency, and operating income grew 17% and 18% in constant currency. Now to More Personal Computing. Revenue was $13.4 billion and grew 6% and 7% in constant currency, ahead of expectations due to better-than-expected results across all businesses.

    營業費用以固定匯率計算成長 6% 和 7%,營業收入以固定匯率計算成長 17% 和 18%。現在開始更個人化地計算。營收為 134 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長 6% 和 7%,由於所有業務的業績均優於預期,因此超出預期。

  • Windows OEM and Devices revenue increased 3% year-over-year, ahead of expectations as tariffs uncertainty through the quarter resulted in inventory levels that remained elevated. Search and news advertising revenue ex TAC increased 21% and 23% in constant currency.

    Windows OEM 和設備收入年增 3%,超出預期,因為本季關稅的不確定性導致庫存水準仍然高漲。扣除 TAC 後的搜尋和新聞廣告收入以固定匯率計算分別成長 21% 和 23%。

  • Results were significantly ahead of expectations, driven by usage from a third-party partnership better-than-expected rate expansion and volume growth across Edge and Bing. And in gaming. Revenue increased 5% and 6% in constant currency.

    業績大幅超出預期,這得益於第三方合作夥伴的使用情況、Edge 和 Bing 的費率擴張和銷售成長好於預期。以及在遊戲中。以固定匯率計算,營收成長了 5% 和 6%。

  • Xbox content and services revenue increased 8% and 9% in constant currency, ahead of expectations driven by stronger-than-expected performance in third-party and first-party content. Segment gross margin dollars increased 9% and 11% in constant currency.

    Xbox 內容和服務收入以固定匯率計算分別成長 8% 和 9%,超出預期,這得益於第三方和第一方內容表現強於預期。以固定匯率計算,分部毛利率成長了 9%,為 11%。

  • Gross margin percentage increased 2 points year-over-year driven by strong execution on margin improvement in search and gaming. Operating expenses increased 1%. Operating income increased 21% and 23% in constant currency, driven by continued prioritization of higher margin opportunities.

    得益於搜尋和遊戲利潤率的強勁提升,毛利率年增 2 個百分點。營業費用增加了1%。由於繼續優先考慮更高利潤機會,營業收入成長了 21%,以固定匯率計算成長了 23%。

  • Now back to total company results. Capital expenditures, including finance leases, were $21.4 billion, slightly lower than expected due to normal variability from the timing of delivery of data center leases. Cash paid for PP&E was $16.7 billion.

    現在回到公司整體業績。包括融資租賃在內的資本支出為 214 億美元,略低於預期,原因是資料中心租賃交付時間的正常變化。用於 PP&E 的現金支付額為 167 億美元。

  • Roughly half of our cloud and AI related spend was on long-lived assets that will support monetization over the next 15 years and beyond. The remaining cloud in AI spend was primarily for servers, both CPUs and GPUs, to serve customers based on demand signals, including our customer contracted backlog of $315 billion.

    我們在雲端運算和人工智慧相關支出中的大約一半用於支援未來 15 年及以後貨幣化的長期資產。人工智慧雲端運算的剩餘支出主要用於伺服器(包括 CPU 和 GPU),以根據需求訊號為客戶提供服務,其中包括我們與客戶簽訂的 3,150 億美元積壓訂單。

  • Cash flow from operations was $37 billion, up 16%, driven by strong cloud billings and collections, partially offset by higher tax payments. And this quarter, free cash flow was $20.3 billion. Other income and expense was negative $623 million, more favorable than anticipated, primarily due to net gains on derivatives and investments. Our losses on investments accounted for under the equity method were slightly higher than expected. Our effective tax rate was approximately 18%.

    營運現金流為 370 億美元,成長 16%,這得益於強勁的雲端運算帳單和收款,但部分被更高的稅收所抵消。本季自由現金流為 203 億美元。其他收入和支出為負 6.23 億美元,優於預期,主要由於衍生性商品和投資的淨收益。我們以權益法計算的投資損失略高於預期。我們的有效稅率約為18%。

  • And finally, we returned $9.7 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, an increase of 15% year-over-year. Now moving to our Q4 outlook, which unless specifically noted otherwise, is on a US dollar basis. First, through April, demand signals across our commercial businesses as well as in LinkedIn, gaming and search have remained consistent. Our outlook assumes those trends continue in Q4.

    最後,我們透過股利和股票回購向股東返還了 97 億美元,年增 15%。現在轉到我們的第四季展望,除非另有特別說明,否則均以美元為基礎。首先,截至 4 月份,我們商業業務以及 LinkedIn、遊戲和搜尋領域的需求訊號保持一致。我們的展望是假設這些趨勢將在第四季度繼續下去。

  • If the environment changes, our results may be impacted. In our Windows OEM business, our outlook assumes the elevated inventory levels from Q3 will come down in Q4. We have widened our guidance range in our More Personal Computing segment to account for some of this variability.

    如果環境發生變化,我們的結果可能會受到影響。在我們的 Windows OEM 業務中,我們預計第三季增加的庫存水準將在第四季度下降。我們擴大了「更個人化的計算」領域的指導範圍,以應對部分此類變化。

  • Next, FX. With the weakening of the US dollar in April, we now expect FX to increase total revenue growth by 1 point. Within the segments, we expect FX to increase revenue growth by 1 point in Productivity and Business Processes and less than 1 point in Intelligent Cloud and More Personal Computing. We expect FX to increase COGS operating expense growth by less than 1 point.

    接下來是 FX。隨著4月美元走弱,我們現在預計外匯總收入成長將增加1個百分點。在這些領域中,我們預期 FX 將使生產力和業務流程領域的收入成長提高 1 個百分點,而智慧雲端和更多個人運算領域的收入成長將提高不到 1 個百分點。我們預計外匯將使 COGS 營運費用成長增加不到 1 個百分點。

  • In commercial bookings, we expect solid growth on a significant prior year comparable and a growing expiry base. Bookings growth will be driven by strong execution across our core annuity sales motions and continued long-term commitments to our platform.

    在商業預訂方面,我們預計將比去年同期大幅成長,到期基數也將持續成長。預訂量的成長將受到我們核心年金銷售計劃的強勁執行以及對我們平台的持續長期承諾的推動。

  • As a reminder, larger, longer-term Azure contracts, which are more unpredictable in their timing, can drive increased quarterly volatility in our bookings growth rate. Microsoft Cloud gross margin percentage should be roughly 67%, down year-over-year, primarily driven by the impact of scaling our AI infrastructure and now capital expenditures.

    提醒一下,規模更大、期限更長的 Azure 合約在時間上更難以預測,可能會導致我們的預訂量成長率季度波動加劇。微軟雲端毛利率約 67%,年減,主要受擴大人工智慧基礎設施和現在的資本支出的影響。

  • We expect Q4 capital expenditures to increase on a sequential basis. H2 CapEx in total remains unchanged from our January H2 guidance. As a reminder, there can be quarterly spend variability from cloud infrastructure build-outs and the timing of delivery of finance leases.

    我們預計第四季資本支出將較上季增加。H2 資本支出總額與我們 1 月 H2 指引相比保持不變。提醒一下,雲端基礎設施建設和融資租賃交付時間可能會造成季度支出變化。

  • Next to segment guidance. In Productivity and Business Processes, we expect revenue of USD32.05 billion to USD32.35 billion or growth of 11% to 12% in constant currency. M365 Commercial cloud revenue growth should be approximately 14% in constant currency, relatively stable compared to the prior quarter.

    接下來是細分指導。在生產力和業務流程方面,我們預計營收將達到 320.5 億美元至 323.5 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長 11% 至 12%。M365 商業雲端收入成長率以固定匯率計算應約為 14%,與上一季相比相對穩定。

  • We expect continued ARPU growth through E5 and M365 Copilot and some steep growth moderation given the size of the installed base. M365 Commercial products revenue growth should be in the mid-single digits.

    我們預計,透過 E5 和 M365 Copilot,ARPU 將繼續成長,並且考慮到安裝基數的規模,成長將出現一些大幅放緩。M365 商業產品收入成長應在中等個位數。

  • As a reminder, M365 commercial products includes both the Windows Commercial on-premises components of M365 suite and office transactional purchasing, both of which can be variable due to in-period revenue recognition dynamics.

    提醒一下,M365 商業產品包括 M365 套件的 Windows Commercial 內部部署元件和辦公室交易採購,這兩者都可能因為期間收入確認動態而改變。

  • M365 Consumer cloud revenue growth should be in the mid-teens, driven by the January price increase. For LinkedIn, we expect revenue growth in the high single digits. And in Dynamics 365, we expect revenue growth to be in the mid- to high teens with continued growth across all workloads. For Intelligent Cloud, we expect revenue of USD28.75 billion to USD29.05 billion or growth of 20% to 22% in constant currency.

    受 1 月價格上漲的推動,M365 消費者雲端收入成長應在 15% 左右。對於 LinkedIn,我們預計其營收成長率將達到高個位數。在 Dynamics 365 中,我們預計營收成長將達到中高水平,並且所有工作負載都將持續成長。對於智慧雲,我們預計營收為 287.5 億美元至 290.5 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長 20% 至 22%。

  • Revenue will continue to be driven by Azure, which, as a reminder, can have quarterly variability primarily from in-period revenue recognition depending on the mix of contracts. In Azure, we expect Q4 revenue growth to be between 34% and 35% in constant currency, driven by strong demand for our portfolio of services.

    收入將繼續由 Azure 推動,需要提醒的是,其季度變化主要來自於期間收入確認,具體取決於合約組合。在 Azure 方面,我們預計第四季營收成長率將達到 34% 至 35%(以固定匯率計算),這得益於對我們服務組合的強勁需求。

  • In our non-AI services, we expect focused execution to continue driving healthy growth. And in our AI services, while we continue to bring data center capacity online as planned, demand is growing a bit faster. Therefore, we now expect to have some AI capacity constraints beyond June.

    在我們的非人工智慧服務中,我們預計專注的執行將繼續推動健康成長。在我們的人工智慧服務中,雖然我們繼續按計畫上線資料中心容量,但需求成長速度更快。因此,我們現在預計 6 月以後人工智慧產能將受到一些限制。

  • In our on-premises server business, we again expect revenue to decline in the mid-single digits with the ongoing customer shift to cloud offerings. And at Enterprise and Partner Services, we expect revenue growth to be in the mid- to high single digits, driven by enterprise support services.

    在我們的內部伺服器業務中,隨著客戶不斷轉向雲端產品,我們再次預期收入將下降中等個位數。在企業和合作夥伴服務方面,我們預期在企業支援服務的推動下,營收成長將達到中高個位數。

  • In More Personal Computing, we expect revenue to be USD12.35 billion to USD12.85 billion. Windows OEM and devices revenue should decline in the mid- to high single digits. We expect Windows OEM revenue to decline in the low to mid-single digits assuming OEM inventory levels come down through the quarter as noted earlier, although the range of potential outcomes is wider than normal.

    在「更多個人計算」領域,我們預計收入將達到 123.5 億美元至 128.5 億美元。Windows OEM 和裝置收入預計將出現中高個位數的下降。我們預計,如果 OEM 庫存水準在本季度下降(如前所述),Windows OEM 收入將下降低至中等個位數,儘管潛在結果的範圍比正常情況更廣。

  • Devices revenue should decline in the high teens. Search and news advertising ex-TAC revenue growth should be in the high teens, even on a strong prior year comparable. We expect to see continued growth in both volume and revenue per search with share gains across Edge and Bing. Overall, search and news advertising revenue growth should be in the mid-teens. And in gaming.

    設備收入應該會下降百分之十幾。即使在去年同期表現強勁的情況下,搜尋和新聞廣告(不含 TAC)收入成長也應該達到百分之十幾。我們預計,隨著 Edge 和 Bing 的份額增加,每次搜尋的數量和收入都將持續增長。整體而言,搜尋和新聞廣告收入成長率應該在十五六個百分點。以及在遊戲中。

  • We expect revenue growth to be in the mid-single digits. We expect Xbox content and services revenue growth to be in the high single digits, driven by first-party content. Now back to company guidance. We expect COGS of USD23.6 billion to USD23.8 billion or growth of 19% to 20% in constant currency. And operating expense of USD18 billion to USD18.1 billion or growth of approximately 5% in constant currency.

    我們預計收入成長率將達到中等個位數。我們預計,在第一方內容的推動下,Xbox 內容和服務收入將實現高個位數成長。現在回到公司指導。我們預計銷售成本為 236 億美元至 238 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長 19% 至 20%。營業費用為 180 億美元至 181 億美元,以固定匯率計算成長約 5%。

  • Therefore, even with ongoing AI investments as we scale, we continue to expect full year FY25 operating margins to be up slightly year-over-year. Other income and expense is expected to be roughly negative $1.2 billion, primarily driven by investments accounted for under the equity method.

    因此,即使隨著我們規模的擴大,我們不斷進行人工智慧投資,我們仍然預計 25 財年全年營業利潤率將比去年同期略有上升。其他收入和支出預計約為負 12 億美元,主要受權益法核算的投資影響。

  • As a reminder, we do not recognize mark-to-market gains or losses on equity method investments. And lastly, we expect our Q4 effective tax rate to be approximately 19%. Now I'd like to share some closing thoughts as we look to the next fiscal year.

    提醒一下,我們不確認權益法投資的以市價計價的收益或損失。最後,我們預計第四季有效稅率約為 19%。現在,在展望下一個財政年度之際,我想分享一些結論。

  • We remain committed to investing against the strong demand signals we see for our services. So as a reminder, our earlier comments on FY26 capital expenditures remain unchanged. We expect CapEx to grow. It will grow at a lower rate than FY25 and will include a greater mix of short-lived assets, which are more directly correlated to revenue than long-lived assets. These investments along with focused execution that delivers near-term value to our customers will ensure we continue to lead through the cloud and AI opportunity ahead.

    我們將繼續致力於根據我們服務的強勁需求訊號進行投資。因此提醒一下,我們之前對 FY26 資本支出的評論保持不變。我們預計資本支出將會成長。其成長率將低於 25 財年,且將包含更多的短期資產組合,這些資產與收入的直接相關性比長期資產更高。這些投資以及為我們的客戶提供短期價值的重點執行將確保我們繼續引領未來的雲端運算和人工智慧機會。

  • Congratulations on a fantastic quarter. And what all of us are looking at as a difficult environment, a lot of uncertainty out there. So really impressive to put up the results that you guys did. One of the things that we heard a lot about this quarter in the media and press reports was changing data center commitments, maybe Microsoft walking away from some of those data center commitments. But it sounds like the AI demand is very strong.

    恭喜您本季取得如此出色的成績。我們所有人都認為當前的環境很艱難,存在著許多不確定性。你們所取得的成果確實令人印象深刻。本季我們在媒體和新聞報導中經常聽到的一件事是改變資料中心承諾,也許微軟放棄了一些資料中心承諾。但聽起來人工智慧的需求非常強勁。

  • You're talking about not being able to hit all of that demand with the supply. So can you talk to us about what's going on with your data center strategy? Are there any shifts taking place. And maybe in particular, Satya, you could talk about some of the comments that you had made about the potential risk for oversupplies and GPUs out in the future. What exactly was that risk you were talking about?

    您說的是供應無法滿足所有需求。那麼您能跟我們談談您的資料中心策略進展嗎?有沒有任何變化發生?薩蒂亞,您或許可以特別談談您對未來供應過剩和 GPU 的潛在風險的一些評論。您所說的風險到底是什麼?

  • And are you incorporating that risk into your data center strategy?

    您是否將該風險納入了您的資料中心策略中?

  • Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

    Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Yeah. First of all, thanks, Keith, for the question. The reality is we've always been making adjustments to build, lease, what pace we build all through the last 10, 15 years, it's just that you all pay a lot more attention to what we do quarter-over-quarter nowadays.

    是的。首先,感謝 Keith 提出這個問題。事實是,在過去的 10 到 15 年裡,我們一直在調整建設、租賃和建設速度,只是現在大家更加關注我們每季所做的事情。

  • Having said that, the key thing for us is to have our bills and lease be positioned for what is the workload growth of the future, right? So that's what you have to [go seek] to. So there's a demand part to it, there is the shape of the workload part to it, and there is a location part to it.

    話雖如此,對我們來說,關鍵是讓我們的帳單和租賃適應未來的工作量成長,對嗎?所以這就是你必須去尋求的。因此,它有需求部分、工作量部分、位置部分。

  • So you don't want to be upside down on having one big data center in one region when you have a global demand footprint. You don't want to be upside down when the shape of demand changes because, after all, with essentially pretraining plus test time compute.

    因此,當您擁有全球需求足跡時,您不會希望在一個地區建立一個大型資料中心。當需求形狀改變時,您不希望出現混亂,因為畢竟本質上是預訓練加上測試時間計算。

  • That's a big change in terms of how you think about even what is training, right, [forget] inferencing. So fundamentally, given all of that, and then every time there's great Moore's Law, but remember, this is a compounding sort of S curve, right, which is Moore's Law, there's system software, there's model architecture changes, there's the app server efficiency.

    就你對訓練的看法而言,這是一個巨大的變化,對吧,[忘記]推理。所以從根本上來說,考慮到所有這些,然後每次都會有偉大的摩爾定律,但請記住,這是一種複合的 S 曲線,對吧,這是摩爾定律,有系統軟體,有模型架構變化,有應用伺服器效率。

  • Given all of that, we just want to make sure we're building accounting for the latest and greatest sort of information we have on all of that. And that's what you see reflected, and I feel very, very good about the pace. In fact, Amy just mentioned, we will be short power.

    考慮到所有這些,我們只想確保我們正在根據我們所掌握的最新和最好的資訊建立會計。這就是你所看到的反映,我對這個節奏感到非常非常滿意。其實剛才艾米也提到了,我們將會缺少電力。

  • And so therefore -- but it's not a blanket statement. I need power and specific places so that we can either lease or build at the pace at which we want. And so that's the sort of plan that we're executing to. Maybe, Amy, you can add to that.

    因此——但這並不是一個籠統的說法。我需要電力和特定的地方,以便我們可以以我們想要的速度租賃或建造。這就是我們正在執行的計劃。也許,艾米,你可以補充一點。

  • Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

    Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

  • Yeah, maybe just add a little bit to Satya's comments. Just a reminder, these are very long lead time decisions. From land to build, to build-outs can be lead times of five to seven years, two to three years. So we're constantly in a balancing position as we watch demand curves and [made the things Satya watch].

    是的,也許只是對 Satya 的評論做一點補充。需要提醒的是,這些都是需要很長時間才能做出的決定。從土地到建設,再到竣工,可能需要五到七年,甚至兩到三年的時間。因此,我們始終處於平衡狀態,觀察需求曲線和[製作 Satya 觀看的東西]。

  • And the second part is just to maybe remind you when Satya talks about being short power, he's really talking about data center space. And so we've continued through the second half to put things in place. In fact, we talked a little bit about pulling even some of that space to be ready earlier and being able to deliver that earlier to customers this quarter, which is really good work by the teams as we continue to get more and more efficient at that process.

    第二部分可能只是為了提醒你,當 Satya 談到電力短缺時,他實際上是在談論資料中心空間。因此,我們在下半場繼續努力,把事情安排妥當。事實上,我們討論過如何提前利用部分空間,以便能夠在本季提前交付給客戶,這對團隊來說確實是件好事,因為我們在這過程中的效率越來越高。

  • And I look forward to being able to continue to do that in the future. I did talk about in my comments, we had hoped to be in balance by the end of Q4. We did see some increased demand as you saw through the quarter. So we are going to be a little short (inaudible), a little tight as we exit the year but are encouraged by that.

    我期待未來能夠繼續這樣做。我在我的評論中確實談到了,我們希望在第四季度末實現平衡。正如您在本季所看到的,我們確實看到了一些需求的成長。因此,在結束這一年時,我們的時間會有點緊(聽不清楚),但我們對此感到鼓舞。

    Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Thanks, Brent. So I sort of think about three big things that are happening in the cloud all in parallel, and there's also a relationship between them. One is, I'll just say, the classic migration of whether it's SQL, Windows Server. And so that sort of again got good steady-state progress because the reality is I think everyone is now -- perhaps there's another sort of kick in the data center migrations just because of the efficiency the cloud provides. So that's sort of one part.

    謝謝,布倫特。所以我認為雲端同時發生的三件大事,它們之間也存在著某種關係。一個是,我只想說,無論是 SQL 還是 Windows Server 的經典遷移。因此,這再次獲得了良好的穩定狀態進展,因為現實情況是,我認為現在每個人都是 - 也許由於雲端提供的效率,資料中心遷移還有另一種推動力。這就是其中的一部分。

  • The second piece is good data growth. You saw some -- like Postgres -- I mean, forgetting in SQL, so Postgre in Azure is growing, Cosmos is growing. The analytics stuff I talked about with Fabric. It's even the others, whether it is Databricks or even Snowflake on Azure are growing. So we feel very good about Fabric growth and our data growth.

    第二部分是良好的數據成長。您看到了一些——例如 Postgres——我的意思是,在 SQL 中被遺忘了,所以 Azure 中的 Postgre 正在成長,Cosmos 也在成長。我與 Fabric 討論了分析內容。甚至其他的,無論是 Databricks 還是 Azure 上的 Snowflake 都在不斷發展。因此,我們對 Fabric 的成長和數據的成長感到非常滿意。

  • Then the cloud native growth. So this is again before we even get to AI, some of the core compute consumption of cloud-native players is also pretty very healthy. It was healthy throughout the quarter. We projected to go moving forward as well.

    然後是雲端原生的成長。因此,在我們討論人工智慧之前,一些雲端原生玩家的核心運算消耗也非常健康。整個季度情況都很好。我們也計劃繼續前進。

  • Then the thing to notice is the ratio, and I think we mentioned this multiple times before, if you look underneath even ChatGPT, in fact, that team does a fantastic job of thinking about not only their growth in terms of AI accelerators they need.

    然後要注意的是比例,我想我們之前多次提到過這一點,如果你看一下 ChatGPT,事實上,那個團隊在考慮他們所需的 AI 加速器方面的增長方面做得非常出色。

  • They use Cosmos DB, they use Postgres. They use core compute and storage. And so there's even a ratio between any AI workload in terms of AI accelerator to others. So those are the four pockets, I'd say, or for different trend lines, which all have a relationship with each other. And if I step back, and Amy and I talk a lot about this, this time around, there's nothing certain for sure in the future, except for one thing, which is our largest business is our infrastructure business.

    他們使用 Cosmos DB,他們使用 Postgres。他們使用核心運算和儲存。因此,就 AI 加速器而言,任何 AI 工作負載與其他工作負載之間都存在一個比率。所以我想說,這四個口袋,或是不同的趨勢線,它們都彼此相關。如果我退一步來看,艾米和我談論了很多關於這個問題的事情,這一次,未來沒有什麼是確定的,除了一件事,那就是我們最大的業務是基礎設施業務。

  • And the good news here is the next big platform shift builds on that. So it's not a complete rebuild, having gone through all these platform ships where you have to come out on the other side with a full rebuild. If there is good news here is that we have a good business in Azure that continues to grow and the new platform depends on that. So we want to stay disciplined and execute super well on that.

    好消息是,下一個重大平台轉變將以此為基礎。因此,這不是徹底的重建,在經歷了所有這些平台船之後,你必須在另一邊進行全面重建。如果這裡有好消息的話,那就是我們在 Azure 上擁有良好的業務,而且還在持續成長,而新平台依賴於此。因此,我們希望保持紀律並出色地執行。

  • I will reiterate what my peers have said. Congratulations on the great quarter. Satya and Amy, Microsoft is a very different business than it was during the last recession. Incredible job you've done. If we get into a recession, I hope we don't, how do you think about the stability the sustainability, revenue volatility of Microsoft today if we were to get into a recession.

    我將重申我的同事們所說的話。恭喜本季取得如此出色的成績。薩蒂亞和艾米,微軟現在的情況與上次經濟衰退期間相比有很大不同。你所做的工作真是令人難以置信。如果我們陷入經濟衰退,我希望我們不會,如果我們陷入經濟衰退,您如何看待微軟今天的穩定性、可持續性和收入波動性。

  • Would the business react early to a recession or late, would you insist to have a more shallow impact on revenue? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    企業對經濟衰退的反應是早還是晚?您是否堅持​​對收入產生較淺的影響?任何想法都將不勝感激。

  • Maybe I'll start, and then Amy should add, Mark. The way at least I think we will approach it is, quite frankly, be very focused on how we help our customers if there is any turbulence in the macro because one of the things that we feel we can do just because of the efficiencies of the cloud.

    也許我會開始,然後艾米應該添加馬克。坦白說,我認為我們至少會採取這樣的方式:非常專注於如何在宏觀上出現任何動盪時幫助我們的客戶,因為我們認為我們可以做的事情之一就是藉助雲端的效率。

  • And the footprint we have and the differentiated sort of layers of the stack from the SaaS application side to the infrastructure side. I think if you sort of buy into the argument that software is the most valuable resource we have to fight any type of inflationary pressure or any type of growth pressure where you need to do more with less. I think we can be super helpful in that.

    以及我們所擁有的足跡以及從 SaaS 應用程式端到基礎設施端的堆疊的差異化層。我認為,如果你認同軟體是最寶貴的資源這一觀點,我們就必須對抗任何類型的通膨壓力或任何類型的成長壓力,你需要用更少的資源做更多的事情。我認為我們可以在這方面提供極大的幫助。

  • And so if anything, we would probably have more of that mindset is how do we make sure we are helping our customers. And then, of course, we'll look to share gains.

    因此,如果有什麼不同的話,我們可能會更多地考慮如何確保我們能夠幫助我們的客戶。然後,當然,我們會尋求分享收益。

  • A number of metrics to applaud, but I think the one that stands out to me is the 16 point growth rate lift to Azure from AI. Satya and Amy, I just wanted to ask if you could unpack that a little bit. Of course, you mentioned that you got a bit of a kicker from capacity coming online, but I'm a little bit more interested in where the demand came in above expectations, like what workload type. It's hard for us to see that on the outside. Was it a surge in ChatGPT inference that landed in Azure?

    有很多指標值得稱讚,但我認為最突出的是人工智慧為 Azure 帶來的 16 個百分點的成長率提升。Satya 和 Amy,我只是想問一下你們是否可以稍微解釋一下這個問題。當然,您提到您對上線的容量感到有點興奮,但我更感興趣的是需求超出預期的地方,例如工作負載類型。從外表我們很難看到這一點。是 ChatGPT 推理的激增​​導致了 Azure 的出現嗎?

  • Was it an uptick in enterprise AI adoption? And Amy, do you think that 16 points could be higher in June?

    這是企業採用人工智慧的上升趨勢嗎?艾米,您認為 6 月的 16 個百分點會更高嗎?

  • Thanks, Karl, for the question. Just to provide some clarity because I think your question implies something that we didn't mean to imply on the call. First, the real outperformance in Azure this quarter was in our non-AI business. So then to talk about the AI business, really, what was better was precisely what we said. We talked about this.

    謝謝卡爾提出這個問題。只是為了提供一些澄清,因為我認為你的問題暗示了我們在電話中不想暗示的事情。首先,本季 Azure 的真正優異表現是在我們的非人工智慧業務方面。那麼,談到人工智慧業務,實際上,更好的正是我們所說的。我們討論過這個。

  • We knew Q3 that we had and hadn't really match supply and demand pretty carefully and didn't expect to do much better than we had guided to on the AI side. We've been quite consistent on that. So the only real upside we saw on the AI side of the business was that we were able to deliver supply early to a number of customers.

    我們知道,在第三季度,我們並沒有真正非常仔細地匹配供需,並且並不期望在人工智慧方面取得比我們預期更好的成績。我們對此一直非常堅持。因此,我們在人工智慧業務方面看到的唯一真正好處是我們能夠提前向許多客戶交付貨物。

  • And being able to do that throughout the quarter creates quite a good benefit to us. But the majority of our outperformance versus where we had expected to be was on the non-AI piece of the business.

    並且能夠在整個季度中做到這一點,為我們帶來了相當大的利益。但我們超出預期的業績主要體現在非人工智慧業務領域。

  • One question for Amy. You've said in the past that that you can attain better and better capital efficiency with the cloud business and probably cloud and AI business. Where do you stand today, Amy and maybe Satya you can opine as well, that you've said before that you can slow down your CapEx growth rate while still accelerate Azure, which includes AI. Can we get a mark-to-market on that?

    問艾米一個問題。您過去曾說過,透過雲端業務以及雲端和人工智慧業務,您可以實現越來越好的資本效率。艾米,也許薩蒂亞,你們現在的立場是什麼?你們可以發表意見嗎?你們之前說過,你們可以減緩資本支出成長率,同時仍加速 Azure(包括 AI)的發展。我們能對此進行市價調整嗎?

  • Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

    Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

  • Maybe I'll start, Kash, and let talk Satya add on, because I really think when you go back and read some of Satya's comments, on how the S-curves build on themselves, that's actually the levers that go into the answer of the question that you're asking.

    也許我應該先開始,卡什,然後讓我們談談薩蒂亞的補充,因為我真的認為,當你回過頭去閱讀薩蒂亞的一些評論時,關於 S 曲線如何自我構建,這實際上是回答你所問的問題的槓桿。

  • And so the way, of course, you've seen that historically is right when we went through the prior cloud transitions, you see CapEx accelerate, you build out data center footprint. You slowly filled (inaudible) capacity. And over time, you see software efficiencies and hardware efficiencies build on themselves. And you saw that process for us for goodness now quite a long time.

    當然,您已經看到,從歷史上看,當我們經歷先前的雲端轉型時,您會看到資本支出加速,資料中心的覆蓋範圍擴大。你慢慢地填滿了(聽不清楚)容量。隨著時間的推移,您會看到軟體效率和硬體效率不斷提高。您已經看到我們經歷了相當長一段時間的這段過程。

  • And what Satya's talking about is how quickly that's happening on the AI side of the business and you add to that model diversity. So think about the same levers plus model efficiency, those compounds. Now the one thing that's a little different this time is just the pace. And so when you're seeing that happen pace in terms of efficiency side, but also pace in terms of the build-out. So it can mask some of the progress.

    Satya 談論的是業務的人工智慧方面發生這種變化的速度有多快,以及模型的多樣性如何增加。因此,考慮相同的槓桿加上模型效率,這些化合物。這次唯一稍有不同的就是節奏。因此,當您看到這種情況發生時,不僅效率方面的速度加快,而且建造方面的速度也加快。因此它可以掩蓋一些進展。

  • But we are working hard across all of the teams, hardware, software, even the build teams to get things in place as quickly as possible, dock to live times, all of that is improving and all of that actually is benefiting us. And I'll go ahead and say our margins on the AI side of the business are better than they were at this point by far than when we went through the same transition and the server to cloud transition.

    但是,我們所有團隊、硬體、軟體,甚至建立團隊都在努力工作,以盡快完成所有工作,縮短對接時間,所有這些都在改善,實際上,所有這些都使我們受益。我想說的是,我們在人工智慧業務方面的利潤率比我們經歷同樣的轉變和伺服器到雲端的轉變時要好得多。

  • Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

    Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Yeah. I mean I think at a macro level, I think the way to think about this is you can ask the question, what's the difference between a hosting business and a hyperscale business. It's softer. That's, I think, the gist of it. We asked for sure, it's a capital-intensive business, but capital efficiency comes from that system-wide software optimization.

    是的。我的意思是,我認為從宏觀層面來看,思考這個問題的方式是你可以問這個問題,託管業務和超大規模業務之間有什麼區別。它比較柔軟。我想,這就是事情的要點。我們問得很清楚,這是一項資本密集業務,但資本效率來自於系統範圍的軟體最佳化。

  • And that's what makes the hyperscale business attractive and that's what we want to just keep executing super well on.

    這就是超大規模業務的吸引力所在,也是我們希望繼續出色執行的原因。

  • Satya, you had commented recently that the DeepSeek moment is a real thing. And you had said that software efficiencies mean that the fleet will be aged for a longer time. Can you comment on how those advances are affecting the pace and volume of AI experimentation and activity in the marketplace.

    Satya,您最近評論說 DeepSeek 時刻是真實存在的。您曾說過,軟體效率意味著車隊的使用壽命會更長。您能否評論一下這些進步如何影響市場上人工智慧實驗和活動的速度和數量。

  • And Amy, could we start to consider the possibility that software enhancements might extend the useful life assumption that you're using for GPUs? Is it a little premature to be thinking that way?

    艾米,我們是否可以開始考慮軟體增強可能會延長您對 GPU 使用的使用壽命假設的可能性?這樣想是不是有點太早?

  • Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

    Satya Nadella - Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer

  • Yeah. First of all, I think some of the work that actually OpenAI first pioneered indeed with all other reasoning models. And of course, DeepSeek has sort of added to it and done good work as well and others as well.

    是的。首先,我認為 OpenAI 實際上率先進行的一些工作確實與所有其他推理模型都相關。當然,DeepSeek 也對其進行了補充,並且做出了很好的工作,其他人也一樣。

  • The idea that you can have test time compute plus pre-training and then some of the great optimization at inference time that has all happened has proven up. I mean if you look at I would say, for every Moore's Law change and movement there's probably a 10 times improvement because of software, right?

    可以進行測試時間計算加上預訓練,然後在推理時間進行一些出色的優化的想法已經得到證實。我的意思是,如果你看一下,我會說,摩爾定律的每一次變化和運動都可能因為軟體而帶來 10 倍的改進,對嗎?

  • That's sort of what's happening with these models. Some of it comes from model architecture, some of that comes from data efficiency, compute efficiency and what have you. So that's what we are writing. And we feel that all up, when you have a commodity that is getting that better, then the question is how do you build out a fleet that's super balanced. So that then the workloads can be built and can, in fact, take advantage of that efficiency and the underlying infrastructure.

    這些模型正在發生類似的事情。其中一些來自模型架構,有些來自資料效率、運算效率等等。這就是我們正在寫的內容。我們認為,當你擁有一種正在變得越來越好的商品時,問題就是如何建立一支超級平衡的艦隊。這樣就可以建構工作負載,並且實際上可以利用這種效率和底層基礎架構。

  • I mean it's kind of like virtualization. What is the difference between servers and sort of, again, client server with virtualization, it was efficiency. What is the difference between virtualization and cloud, it was efficiency. What is the difference between this generation of cloud and AI, it's efficiency. So the more you can kind of continue to think about software driving that efficiency is what drives demand ultimately.

    我的意思是它有點像虛擬化。伺服器和虛擬化的客戶端伺服器之間有什麼區別?效率如何?虛擬化和雲端的差別是什麼呢,就是效率。這一代雲和AI的差別是什麼,就是效率。因此,你越能繼續思考軟體驅動的效率,最終就越能推動需求。

  • And to your specific question, in terms of thinking about the the depreciable life of an asset, we like to have a long history before we make any of those [changes]. So we're focused on getting every bit of useful life we can, of course, out of assets -- but to Satya's point, that tends to be a software question more than a hardware one.

    對於您的具體問題,在考慮資產的折舊年限方面,我們希望在做出任何決定之前,先了解資產的長期歷史。[變化]。因此,我們專注於盡可能發揮資產的實用價值——但正如 Satya 所說,這往往是軟體問題,而不是硬體問題。

  • Congrats on a great quarter. Amy, you mentioned that the upside on Azure came from the non-AI services this time around. I was wondering if you could just talk a little bit more about that. And I guess as you look forward, maybe what's different this go around versus what we saw a few years ago when obviously, things like optimization weighed on the growth a little bit. It sounds like the product portfolio is much broader right now. But just wondering if you could add some color on that front.

    恭喜本季取得優異成績。艾米,你提到這次 Azure 的優點來自於非 AI 服務。我想知道您是否可以就此再多談一點。我想,當你展望未來時,也許這次與幾年前的情況會有所不同,當時顯然諸如優化之類的因素對成長產生了一些影響。聽起來現在的產品組合更廣了。但我只是想知道您是否可以在這方面添加一些顏色。

  • Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

    Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

  • Sure. And thanks for the question, Kirk. It's -- we go to non-AI. I talked a little bit about this. In general, we saw better-than-expected performance across our segments, but we saw acceleration in our largest customers.

    當然。謝謝你的提問,柯克。我們轉向非人工智慧。我稍微談了一下這個。整體而言,我們各部門的表現都優於預期,但我們最大的客戶的表現也加速了。

  • We call that the enterprise segment in general. And then in what we talked about of our scale motions, where we had some challenges in Q2, things were a little better. And we still have some work to do in our scale motions, and we're encouraged by our progress. We're excited to stay focused on that. as, of course, we work through the final quarter of our fiscal year.

    我們將其統稱為企業部門。然後,當我們談到我們的規模動議時,我們在第二季度遇到了一些挑戰,但情況有所改善。我們在規模運動方面還有一些工作要做,我們對我們的進展感到鼓舞。我們很高興能夠繼續關注這一點。當然,我們正在完成財政年度的最後一個季度。

  • By geo, the performance was pretty consistent Satya actually highlighted some of the workloads that came in a little better than we thought. Obviously, just some good consistent work on migrations, good execution by the sales and partner teams, the data workloads he went through.

    從地理位置來看,效能相當一致,Satya 實際上強調了一些比我們想像的要好一點的工作負載。顯然,這只是他在遷移方面所做的一些良好而持續的工作,銷售和合作夥伴團隊的良好執行,以及他所經歷的資料工作量。

  • And so in general, Kirk, I wouldn't say it's anything beyond that. I do think it was improved execution. And I was happy to see it, but there's still some work to do on our scale motions, in particular.

    所以總的來說,柯克,我不會說它超出這個範圍。我確實認為它的執行力有所提升。我很高興看到這一點,但我們在規模運動方面還有一些工作要做。

So maybe, Amy, to the point that you're making that the surprise factor was on the non-Azure, non-AI side of the house, and it sounds like there's confidence in that continuing beyond.

    再次恭喜 Azure 取得如此驕人的成績,說實話,我覺得這非常鼓舞人心。所以,艾米,也許正如你所說,令人驚訝的因素是在非 Azure、非 AI 方面,而且聽起來你有信心繼續保持這種勢頭。

  • How much of that are you starting to see the pull in of the non-AI driven by the AI portion of Azure. And on the AI portion specifically, as test time compute really just blows out kind of prior conceptions of scaling law challenges, how much does that change potentially the curve of the AI Azure growth as you go forward here over the next few quarters?

    您在多大程度上開始看到由 Azure 的 AI 部分所驅動的非 AI 的吸引力。具體到人工智慧部分,由於測試時間計算實際上只是打破了先前對縮放定律挑戰的概念,在接下來的幾個季度中,這可能會在多大程度上改變人工智慧 Azure 的成長曲線?

  • Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

    Amy Hood - Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President

  • Thanks, Alex. Let me first of all say, I think we've talked about this quite a bit, it's always a good chance to get to iterate this. It's getting harder and harder to separate what an AI workload is from a non-AI workload. And we've talked about it this way. I think in most instances, to make sure people understood that when we were accelerating all of our CapEx spend over the past 2.5 or 3 years now, that people had confidence that we were turning that into revenue and product in a way that was transparent and that everyone could understand really the goals that we have set for ourselves and for our partners and customers in terms of building product that turned to revenue.

    謝謝,亞歷克斯。首先我要說的是,我想我們已經討論過這個問題很多次了,這始終是一個重申這個問題的好機會。區分人工智慧工作負載和非人工智慧工作負載變得越來越困難。我們已經這樣討論過這個問題了。我認為在大多數情況下,要確保人們理解,當我們在過去 2.5 年或 3 年內加速所有資本支出時,人們有信心我們以透明的方式將其轉化為收入和產品,並且每個人都能真正理解我們為自己、為合作夥伴和客戶設定的目標,即打造能夠轉化為收入的產品。

  • But if you take a step back from that, it's that these workloads are being built, GPU, CPU, storage, network, all the same things. And so I think really what we're talking about is really how Satya talked about in one of the earlier questions. We're seeing digital natives, digital natives fill workloads, they do AI work, they do not AI work. Do they tend to do that work in the same cloud? Lots of times.

    但如果你退一步來看,這些工作負載正在建置中,GPU、CPU、儲存、網絡,都是相同的東西。所以我認為我們真正談論的正是 Satya 在之前的問題中談到的內容。我們看到數位原住民,數位原住民承擔工作量,他們做人工智慧工作,他們不做人工智慧工作。他們是否傾向於在同一個雲端中完成這項工作?很多次。

  • Sometimes it all in the same place, not all the time, but that relationship gets stronger and stronger as people pivot to more of AI heavy workloads. And so I think you're starting to see some of that relationship I think we'll continue to see that as AI workloads continue to get built and experimented with and proof of concepts get expanded.

    有時一切都在同一個地方,而不是一直如此,但隨著人們轉向更多的人工智慧繁重的工作,這種關係會變得越來越強。所以我認為你開始看到其中的一些關係,我認為隨著人工智慧工作負載的不斷構建和試驗以及概念驗證的擴展,我們將繼續看到這一點。

  • And so I think I mostly focus on the fact that together, we saw good performance in Q3 on Azure. As you're inclusive of both components, in terms of our execution, in terms of the skilled and partner teams and backlog and conversion and interesting workloads and adding customer value and solving real problems and adding real value. And I think that's probably how I would approach that number more than trying to separate it in the way that even we have talked about it, but for very different reasons.

    因此我認為我主要關注的是我們在第三季度看到了 Azure 的良好表現。就我們的執行而言,就技術和合作夥伴團隊以及積壓和轉換和有趣的工作量以及增加客戶價值和解決實際問題和增加實際價值而言,您包含了這兩個組成部分。我認為這可能是我處理這個數字的方式,而不是像我們討論過的那樣試圖將其分開,但原因卻截然不同。
