The apple retail juggernaut continues, with or without Ron Johnson, now CEO at J.C. Penney ( JCP).

看来，不管零售巨头彭尼公司（J.C.Penney）新任首席执行官罗恩•约翰逊（前苹果零售负责人&译注）在任与否，苹果商店的零售快车依然一往无前。

Just before the holiday season, big retailers like target ( TGT), J.C. Penney ( JCP) and Saks Fifth Avenue ( sks) installed free Wi-Fi throughout their stores.

就在圣诞季之前，像塔吉特（Target）、彭尼公司（J.C.Penney）和萨克斯第五大道精品百货店（Saks Fifth Avenue）这样的大型零售商在全店安装了免费的WiFi。

When Johnson took the helm at J.C. Penney, he brought with him a strong belief that his Apple experience-he built the company's stores, now the most profitable retail group in the country-would be a huge plus.

约翰逊入主J.C.Penney时曾坚信，他在苹果的经验——他一手打造的苹果商店现在已经是全美最赚钱的零售集团——将是一个巨大优势。

Still, for retailers aimed at the middle-class, such as Macy's, J.C. Penney and Gap, the good news won't last long.

不过，对于Macy's、J.C.Penney和Gap等针对中产阶级的零售商来说，好消息可能不会持久。

Unlike J.C. Penney, their stunt had no twist or joke to it: They cut right to the chase and made a direct ploy to get people tweeting about them, and it worked.

与杰西潘尼公司不同，他们的花样并没有意想不到的转折或笑话，而是单刀直入，径直呼吁人们发布与它们相关的微博，这招很奏效。

Of course, investors knew J.C. Penney was in trouble, even without reading into the decision to bring back a former CEO.

当然，投资者们都知道J.C.Penney身处困境，这一点无需从它召回前CEO一事中看出。

J.C. Penney: get back to basics

J.C.Penney：回归本原

' I wanted to make both daytime casual looks and fun dresses to go out in at night. I met with the design team for Candie's and Kohl's, and we started making sketches and designed a line.

我想设计出在适合日常穿着和适合晚上出去玩的有趣服饰，我遇到了Candies和Kohl的设计团队，我们开始制作草图设计了这个系列。

Companies from Amazon.com Inc. to Kohl's Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. promised to deliver items from headphones to television sets before Christmas, but shipping delays left gift-givers across the country without anything to put under the tree.

从亚马逊公司（Amazon.com Inc.）到Kohl's Corp.再到沃尔玛（Wal-Mart Stores Inc.），网上零售商们信誓旦旦地保证可以在圣诞节前把耳机、电视机等五花八门的商品送到顾客手中。但运输的延误却导致全美国许多人没有礼物可以摆在圣诞树下。

Kohl's, Wal-Mart and UPS said a small percentage of customers experienced delays but declined to elaborate on how many people were affected.

Kohl's、沃尔玛和UPS说，有一小部分顾客遭遇了延迟，但拒绝详细说明有多少人受到影响。

Kohl's victory was short-lived, however. A neighbor who witnessed the slashing spree turned in the elderly woman.

但科尔的胜利是短暂的，一个邻居目睹了老太太爆轮胎。

Kohl's said on Tuesday it would pay the full cost of all items not delivered in time.

Kohl's周二说，将为所有未及时送达的商品全额退款。

Within months she was a government spokesman and, soon afterwards, a minister in Mr Kohl's cabinet.

短短几个月内，她就当上了政府发言人，而且很快成了科尔内阁的一名部长。

As I think I mentioned in the reply to Kohl's critique, to many people this sounds wishy-washy, and my students often do say that I'm wishy-washy.

我记得我在回复科尔的批判的时候提到，对很多人来说这听起来很空泛，我的学生经常说我很空泛。

A few days ago, retailers JC Penney and Kohl's delivered disappointing results, while Starbucks noted its first quarterly fall in customer traffic at its US outlets.

几天前，零售商JC Penney和Kohl's公布了令人失望的业绩，而星巴克（Starbucks）表示，其当季美国各家分店的客流量首次出现下降。

It would be paternalistic but Kohl's argument is that if you really care about somebody, you can't just stand by and ignore the hazards.

这会变得像家长式的作风，但科尔的论点是，如果你真的关心一个人，你不能袖手旁观。
