3星抢在苹果前在华发售新机.docxVIP

Samsung Electronics’ new high-end smartphone will go on sale in China early next week, ahead of any other market except South Korea, as the company tries to steal a march on Apple’s new iPhones and halt its sliding share of the world’s biggest mobile phone market. 三星电子(Samsung Electronics)最新款的高端智能手机下周初起将在中国发售。该款手机将在韩国首发，紧接着便来到中国，早于其他任何一个海外市场。三星此举的用意是抢在苹果(Apple)新款iPhone之前进入中国市场，同时终止自身在这个全球最大手机市场份额不断下滑的态势。 Samsung, the world’s leading smartphone producer by sales, has lost market share in China over the past two years to cheaper homegrown rivals, and in the second quarter gave up the top spot, according to leading research firms. 按销量计算，三星是全球第一大智能手机生产商。然而根据主要研究公司的数据，最近两年来，三星在中国的市场份额被更为廉价的中国本土厂商不断蚕食，今年第二季度甚至丢掉了市场老大的宝座。 The Galaxy Note 4 is an upgraded model of Samsung’s large-screen “phablet”. It will go on sale in South Korea on Friday and in China before the end of the month, Samsung said on Wednesday, marking the first time the South Korean smartphone maker has given China priority over other export markets with a new device in the flagship Galaxy range. Galaxy Note 4是三星大屏“平板手机”的升级版。三星于周三表示，该款手机将于周五在韩国发售，并将于本月底以前在中国发售。这标志着，三星在推出旗舰Galaxy系列的最新款机型时，首次把中国市场摆在了其他出口市场之前。 Samsung unveiled the Note 4 on September 4, just five days before Apple announced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The latter is Apple’s first foray into the phablet segment, which Samsung has dominated since launching the first Galaxy Note in 2011. 三星在9月4日发布Note 4，五天后，苹果发布了iPhone 6和iPhone 6 Plus。iPhone 6 Plus是苹果首次推出的平板手机产品，而三星自2011年推出首部Galaxy Note以来，一直在这个领域占据主导地位。 Apple says it sold 10m of the new iPhones in the three days after their September 19 launch – a record for the company despite the fact that the phones are not yet for sale in China, where regulators have yet to give final approval for the devices. 苹果表示，新款iPhone在9月19日上市后，三天里销售了1000万部。由于中国相关主管部门仍未最终批准这两款手机在中国上市，新款iPhone并未在华出售。尽管如此，苹果公司这次还是创下了iPhone的最佳销售纪录。 While Samsung’s early launch of the Note 4 in China could help mitigate the threat
