【英語(yǔ)閱讀】電商巨頭亞馬遜計(jì)劃退出中國(guó)市場(chǎng)。亞馬遜中國(guó)周四計(jì)劃關(guān)停對(duì)中國(guó)的在線零售業(yè)務(wù)。（關(guān)注本網(wǎng)站，每天更新實(shí)時(shí)英語(yǔ)新聞，保持對(duì)世界的接軌！）

Amazon is planning to close down online retail operations catering to consumers in China, a report said on Thursday.

亞馬遜周四計(jì)劃關(guān)閉針對(duì)中國(guó)消費(fèi)者的在線零售業(yè)務(wù)。

The US e-commerce pioneer will maintain other operations in China such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Kindle e-books and cross-border teams that help ship goods from Chinese merchants to customers abroad, Bloomberg News said, citing unidentified people familiar with the plans.

彭博新聞稱，美國(guó)電子商務(wù)先驅(qū)將維持在中國(guó)的其他業(yè)務(wù)，如亞馬遜網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)（AWS），Kindle電子書和跨境團(tuán)隊(duì)，幫助中國(guó)商人向國(guó)外客戶運(yùn)送貨物

Although dominant in the United States and some other markets, Amazon has struggled to compete in China with the likes of Alibaba and JD.com, who are hugely popular in the country.

雖然亞馬遜在美國(guó)和其他一些市場(chǎng)占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位，但卻在中國(guó)與阿里巴巴和京東等公司競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，后者在該國(guó)非常受歡迎。

This comes despite Amazon's investment in logistics in China and its acquisition in 2004 of Chinese online book seller Joyo.

盡管亞馬遜在中國(guó)投資物流并于2004年收購(gòu)了中國(guó)在線圖書銷售商卓越網(wǎng)，但這仍然存在。

An Amazon spokesperson did not explicitly confirm the pull-out plans, but said the company was looking to focus more on cross-border sales.

亞馬遜發(fā)言人沒有明確確認(rèn)撤出計(jì)劃，但表示該公司希望更多地關(guān)注跨境銷售。

"Over the past few years, we have been evolving our China online retail business to increasingly emphasise cross-border sales, and in return we’ve seen very strong response from Chinese customers," the spokesperson said in a statement emailed to AFP.

“在過去的幾年里，我們一直在不斷發(fā)展我們的中國(guó)在線零售業(yè)務(wù)，以越來越多地強(qiáng)調(diào)跨境銷售，作為回報(bào)，我們看到中國(guó)客戶的回應(yīng)非常強(qiáng)烈，”該發(fā)言人在給法新社的電子郵件中說。 

The company was making "operational adjustments to focus our efforts on cross-border sales in China", the statement said.

聲明說，該公司正在進(jìn)行“運(yùn)營(yíng)調(diào)整，以集中精力在中國(guó)進(jìn)行跨境銷售”。
