Sony Corporation is one of Japan’s biggest multinational conglomerates. It is renowned worldwide for high-tech innovation and quality electronics products, many of which are household names. It was founded by Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka in 1946. They popularized tiny transistor radios and gained a solid market share in Europe and the U.S. The Sony name was created by combining "sonus," (Latin for "SONIC," meaning sound), with "sonny," - a youthful boy. It was chosen for its simple pronunciation that is the same in any language. Today, Sony is a market leader in batteries, computer game consoles, cameras, music and movies and financial services. The Sony Walkman and PlayStation are among their pioneering products. The company’s turnover is close to $100 billion a year.
索尼公司是日本最大的跨国集团之一。该公司因高新技术创新和家喻户晓的电子产品而知名。1946年，盛田昭夫和井深大共同创立了索尼。他们宣传了自己的小型晶体管收音机，并在欧洲和美国获得了稳固的市场份额。索尼一词是“sonus”（“SONIC”的拉丁意思为声音）和“sonny”的组合（小宝宝一词）。选择该词的原因是它的发音在任何语言中都是相同的。如今，索尼是电池、手柄游戏、照相机、音乐、电影以及金融服务产业的主导企业。索尼随身听和索尼游戏机是主导产品。公司每年的营业额将近1000亿美金。
