"Customer response to the iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with our best first weekend sales ever in China," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement .
"China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products," he added, following Friday's launch of the iPhone 5 on the Chinese mainland.
iPhone 5自12月14日在中國內地上市，三天內已經售出200多萬部。“中國用戶對iPhone 5的反應非常熱烈，首個週末銷售量創造了中國市場的新紀錄。”蘋果首席執行官庫克對這一成績很滿意，他再一次重申中國市場對蘋果公司意義重大，而中國消費者對蘋果產品的需求一直旺盛。
【講解】
“上市”在文中的表達是launch，launch另一個釋義是“發射”，如launch a spaceship（發射宇宙飛船），在日常口語表達中，“某商品上市”也可以表示爲something is on the market ，而“上市公司”通常表示爲listed companies。smartphone是使用Windows Mobile for Smartphone Edition操作系統的智能手機。handset和mobile phone同義，意爲“手機”。
