蘋果投資滴滴，Uber滴滴競爭升級！.

　　Didi says it will be invested in products and newtechnology. But some experts say it will be neededto fuel its battle with US-based Uber for marketshare in China.

　　滴滴稱，將利用這筆資金投資產(chǎn)品和新技術(shù)。但是一些專家稱，這筆錢會被投入滴滴與總部位于美國的優(yōu)步(Uber)爭奪中國市場份額的競爭。

　　China’s car-hailing wars have seen both sides spendbillions of dollars funding discounts for customersand subsidies to drivers.

　　在中國的打車服務(wù)之戰(zhàn)中，雙方均支出數(shù)十億美元向顧客提供折扣，向司機提供補貼。

　　In March Didi’s chairman, Cheng Wei, told the website QQ Tech that the company had set aside$4bn raised since last year to spend on what he called “market fostering”. It was not clear howmuch of it had already been spent, though estimates based on a financial presentation madelast year suggest Didi could have lost $1.4bn last year mainly on subsidies. Uber lost $1bn lastyear in China according to chi executive Travis Kalanick.

　　3月，滴滴的首席執(zhí)行官程維告訴騰訊科技，該公司已經(jīng)留出了自去年以來融資的40億美元，用于他所謂的“市場培育”。這筆錢已經(jīng)花費了多少不得而知，不過基于去年一份財務(wù)陳述的估計認為，滴滴去年可能虧損了14億美元，主要用于補貼。優(yōu)步首席執(zhí)行官特拉維斯?卡蘭尼克(Travis Kalanick)表示，優(yōu)步去年在中國虧損了10億美元。

　　Ge Jia, an influential tech blogger, says he believes Didi may be spending more on subsidiesthan it lets on – Didi is three or four times the size of Uber and drivers who work for both saythe rate of subsidies is roughly the same. “Didi cannot afford to lower subsidies or that will justbe surrendering its users to competitors.”

　　有影響力的科技博主葛甲稱，他相信滴滴在補貼上的花費或許超出了準備——滴滴的規(guī)模是優(yōu)步的三到四倍，為這兩家公司工作的司機稱，雙方的補貼率差不多一樣。“滴滴承受不起較低補貼，否則就會將自己的用戶拱手讓給競爭者。”

　　Didi will not disclose its financial losses but a spokeswoman said it was spending less onsubsidies than Uber and was breaking even in more than half of the 400 cities it operates in. “Investors wouldn’t have shown such support had we not shown them a clear path towardsprofitability,” she said.

　　滴滴不會披露其財務(wù)虧損，但是一名發(fā)言人稱，它在補貼上的花費少于優(yōu)步，同時其運營的400個城市中超過半數(shù)實現(xiàn)了收支平衡?！叭绻覀儧]有給投資者呈現(xiàn)出一條明確的盈利路線的話，他們是不會表現(xiàn)出如此支持的，”她表示。

　　As for how Apple’s money will be spent, she added: “All investments are going to be focused inproduct and tech innovations as we see more and more cities pass the breakeven point.”

　　至于蘋果的錢將如何花費，她補充稱：“隨著我們看到越來越多的城市實現(xiàn)收支平衡，所有投資將集中用于產(chǎn)品和科技創(chuàng)新。”
