在北京新開張的蘋果店是在亞洲最大的蘋果零售店。蘋果目前已經(jīng)在中國(guó)擁有6家零售店,位于王府井的為北京第三家。全球的零售店數(shù)量達(dá)到了390家。

先看相關(guān)英文報(bào)導(dǎo):
A new Apple store open in Beijing is the company's largest retail store in Asia.Apple has 390 retail stores around the world. The Wangfujing store is its third in Beijing and sixth on the Chinese mainland.

分析:
上述報(bào)導(dǎo)中“retail store”就是零售店的意思。零售店常指商家出售商品給消費(fèi)者的地方,以小額(small amounts)出售或是單一個(gè)數(shù)售賣為主,區(qū)別于大宗貨品的批發(fā)(wholesale)業(yè)務(wù)。最主要的特征就是以小數(shù)出售。但在價(jià)格方面有可能會(huì)比批發(fā)貴上一些。

王府井的蘋果店共分三層:地下一層為配件(accessory)銷售區(qū),其擁有的零配件數(shù)量在蘋果的亞洲零售店是最多的;地上一層為產(chǎn)品銷售區(qū),展示產(chǎn)品iPhone、iPod和iPad等產(chǎn)品;地上二層為天才吧(geniusbar),王府井店的天才吧首次采用了360度設(shè)計(jì),顧客可站在蘋果的服務(wù)人員身邊交流或接受服務(wù),這是目前亞洲唯一的360度設(shè)計(jì)的天才吧。

2. The goods are distributed to the retail stores throughout the country.

3. Retail stores are clamouring for something new to stimulate sales.
