昆明山寨苹果专卖店引起全球关注

　　China has moved to shut down several fake Apple stores found in Kunming city.

　　中国官方已经采取行动关闭了在昆明的几个假冒的苹果专卖店。

　　Three of the elaborate fake stores, which mimicked the look of the real thing, came to the world's attention after being exposed on a blog. Following the publicity, trade officials investigated and found five stores in Kunming posing as official Apple retail outlets. Two of the five have now been closed as their owners lacked a business licence.

　　在被曝光之后，这些“高仿”的假冒连锁店的其中三家引起了全球的关注，工商局调查并发现了5个在招牌中自称是官方苹果专卖店的商店。这五家里面的的两家已经于近日被关闭，理由是他们没有营业牌照。

　　The BirdAbroad blog, written by an American woman living in Kunming, wrote about a visit to one fake Apple store which superficially resembled the official outlets. In the article, the blogger wrote about conversations with staff, many of whom were convinced they worked for the US electronics firm.

　　一个由旅居在昆明的美国人所写的叫做“BirdAbroad”的博客近日曝光了一次她拜访这个假冒的苹果专卖店的过程，这个专卖店在外部陈设上模仿了苹果的专卖店。文中博主描述了和店内工作人员的对话，这些员工中的大多数坚信自己的雇主就是美国的苹果公司。

　　Chinese officials investigated the shop visited by BirdAbroad but it was not one of those closed down. It has a licence to trade and is selling genuine Apple products. Apple has said it has no comment to make on the discovery of the counterfeit shops.

　　中国的政府工作人员调查了这一间BirdAbroad去过的店铺，但是这不是那两个被关停的其中一个。他有营业执照而且卖的是真货。苹果官方则表示他们对于这个假冒的连锁店没什么评论要说。
