After many false starts, QR codes are finally taking off.
在沉寂多年后，QR码最终开始成功。
EREAL boxes are, by and large, poor works of literature. Yet many people sit at breakfastreading them over and over again.

Last year Kellogg's realised it could make its packets more entertaining-and guessed thatpeople also had their phones to hand (anything beats talking to the family).
直到去年，麦片品牌凯乐格(Kellogg's)才意识到，因为多数人有这种习惯，所以他们产品的包装盒应该变得更有趣。同时，他们推测，人们在吃早餐时，往往不是边吃边与家人聊天，而是随手拿着自己的手机玩。
The cornflake-maker put 2D codes, better known as QR (for quick response) codes, on itsCrunchy Nut boxes in America.
基于此，凯乐格在其在美国出售的Crunchy Nut麦片的包装盒上加上了二维码，或称QR码(QR即快速反应"Quick Response"之意)。
When scanned, these took cereal-munchers to a video of dawn in, say, Washington state.
人们扫描该产品包装盒上的QR码后，程序将自动播放据说是华盛顿州的黎明景象。
The idea was to push cereal as an all-day snack: "It's morning somewhere."
这个创意的口号是"处处是黎明，时时可享用"，旨在将以前仅作为早餐食用的麦片打造成全天可享用的小吃。
QR codes-squares of black-and-white patterns-have much to recommend them.
QR码是一组在正方形平面上分布的黑白相间的图案，优越性很高。

And they are cheap. They have been popular in Japan for years, but elsewhere have for awhile been touted as the next big thing. (In 2009 this newspaper said they were "on the pointof breaking out".)
同时，QR码成本较低。近年来，QR码在日本被广泛应用，但在其他地方还有待推广。(2009年，本报已表明QR码的应用"将会爆炸性增长"。)
Over the past year, QR codes have quietly slipped into the marketing mainstream.
过去一年中，QR码悄然进入主流市场。
Three-quarters of American online retailers surveyed by Forrester, a research firm, usethem. In April nearly 20% of smartphone users in America scanned one, up from 14% in Maylast year (see chart 1).
根据弗雷斯特研究公司(Forrester)对四分之三美国网络零售商的调查显示，今年四月，美国20%的智能手机用户用手机扫描了QR码，而去年五月这个比例为14%。

And perhaps most important, marketers have only now worked out how best to use QRcodes. Simply sending customers to the company website is not enough, says Melissa Parrish,an analyst at Forrester.
最重要的原因是，市场营销公司目前想出了充分利用QR码进行营销的办法。弗雷斯特研究公司分析师梅利莎·帕里什表示，现在仅仅向消费者提供本公司的网址是不够的。
