Gap has been facing stiff competition from fast fashion stores like HM and Uniqlo, and basic clothing has become more of a commodity.

Uniqlo, a contraction of the original name, started expanding and by the mid-1990s had more than 100 stores.

优衣库（公司起初名字的缩写）开始发展壮大，到上世纪90年代中叶，共开设了100多家门店。

Uniqlo's high-tech clothing makes wearers sweat less during sweltering summers, which is handy.

优衣库的高科技含量服饰使得穿衣人在酷暑时少出汗，这是很省心的。

Fast Retailing, with about 30,000 employees, was established in 1963 though it opened its first Uniqlo store in Japan in 1984.

拥有近3万名员工的迅销集团，成立于1963年，其首家优衣库店铺于1984年在日本开业。

Uniqlo said that none of its staff members were among those detained, The Beijing News reported.

据《新京报》报道，优衣库表示，公司没有任何工作人员遭到拘留。

The stores will match UNIQLO's greatest products with the best service and the highest possible standards, creatively presented with outstanding visual merchandising.

这两家店铺将符合优衣库最好的产品与最好的服务和高品质的富有创造性地展现出不同凡响的视觉营销。

There's even a slang word for "you've been caught [ wearing] Uniqlo."

对于“你居然穿过优衣库”，他们甚至自己编出了一句俚语。

In 2001, Uniqlo opened several stores in London only to shut most of them again after miserable results.

2001年，优衣库在伦敦开设了几家门店，没想到多数因经营惨淡而关门了事。

We believe that both the factories and Uniqlo have enough capacity to provide a decent working environment to their workers.

我们相信，两家工厂和优衣库有足够的能力，为工人提供有尊严的工作环境。

Uniqlo's approach is quite different from Zara's.

Uniqlo的营销策略与Zara差别非常大。

When will China have great brands such as CHANEL, LV, ZARA, UNIQLO?

中国什么时候才能有CHANEL、LV、ZARA、优衣库这样无形价值巨大的品牌？

FASHIONABLE Japanese are sniffy about Uniqlo's cheap clothes.

时尚的日本人对Uniqlo品牌的便宜衣服嗤之以鼻。时尚的日本人对Uniqlo品牌的便宜衣服嗤之以鼻。

Both new Uniqlo outlets are three stories high. They're crowded with stacks of jeans at80 percent off the usual price.

优衣库的全部分店都有三层楼高。其中堆满了一大堆的降价80%的牛仔裤。

That hasn't stopped streams of visitors taking selfies outside Uniqlo's flagship store in Sanlitun.

但这并不能够阻止众多游客在三里屯优衣库旗舰店前自拍。

Uniqlo alone is opening about one new outlet a week and will break into Germany and Australia next spring with stores in Berlin and Melbourne.

仅优衣库每周就会新开一家门店，明年开春就会在德国的柏林与澳大利亚的墨尔本开设新门店。

That combination could give Uniqlo an edge in a slow economy, according to retail sales consultant Patricia Pao.

这种状况可以给优衣库慢经济的优势，就像零售顾问帕特西亚保罗所说的那样。

There is a slang term, unibare, meaning to be caught wearing Uniqlo clothes.

有个俚语叫unibare，意为被警方抓住的坏人都穿着优衣库服装。

Japanese brand UNIQLO opened its first Chinese store in 2002 and now has over 50 branches.

日本品牌优衣库（uniqlo）于2002年在中国开设了第一家店铺，现在拥有50多家分店。

Products can be exchanged provided that the products are in new, clean condition with UNIQLO tags, however, only once.

顾客须保留UNIQLO的货品标签，在商品完整及清洁的状态下可以换货一次。

Like Ms Xue, training manager for a cosmetics company, many Chinese consumers want what Uniqlo offers-Japan branding at China prices.

优衣库所提供的，正是许多中国消费者所想要的：日本品牌，中国价格。在某化妆品公司担任培训经理的薛米琪，就是这样一位消费者。

To catch higher price points using designer cachet, Uniqlo started selling Jil Sander-designed clothing last month.

为了借助设计师声望把握较高端市场，优衣库上个月开始销售吉尔•桑德设计的服装。
