Alibaba revenue falls for first time since New York listing
阿里巴巴报告赴美上市以来首次季度营收下降
Alibaba’s quarterly revenue has fallen for the first time since its 2014 New York listing after the ecommerce group co-founded by Jack Ma suffered from China’s brutal Covid-19 lockdowns.
阿里巴巴(Alibaba)自2014年在纽约上市以来首次报告季度营收下降，此前马云(Jack Ma)与人共同创立的这家电子商务集团受到中国严厉防疫限制措施的影响。
The Chinese group reported that revenue in the second quarter declined less than 1 per cent year on year to Rmb206bn ($31bn), during a period that included Covid lockdowns in large parts of the country. Operating profit fell 19 per cent to Rmb25bn from a year earlier.
这家中国集团报告2022年第二季度营收同比下降不到1%，至2060亿元人民币（合310亿美元），该季度期间中国很多地区实施新冠防疫封锁。营业利润同比下降19%，至250亿元人民币。
Noting the “soft” economic environment, chief executive Daniel Zhang said Alibaba could not control the Covid resurgence nor Beijing’s policies. “The only thing we can do at this moment is to focus on improving ourselves,” he said.
首席执行官张勇(Daniel Zhang)在谈到经济环境疲弱时表示，疫情的反复和政府的政策都超出阿里巴巴的控制范围。他说，此刻“唯一能做的就是不断通过主观努力，做好自己”。
