(don't understand)what do those red words mean? and what does the 3rd sentence mean? Quote
skylee Posted October 23, 2007 at 11:47 PM Report Posted October 23, 2007 at 11:47 PM The title : should be 穩居 not 陰居 1. 穩居 - stay in a stable position (i.e. no other brands can take Nokia's place) 2. 代工 - I think it is "to manufacture on behalf of ...". I know there is a term for it but cannot recall it. PS - looks like it is OEM. 3. 供新興市場銷售 - it is not 供新, it is 供 (to provide) 新興市場 (emerging / new markets) 銷售 (sale) - to provide cdma phones for sale in emerging markets 而隨著一線大廠缺乏低價CDMA手機供新興市場銷售，中國手機製造業者已快速搶佔這個市場，也讓中國CDMA手機生產比例在第二季首度躍升至一成大關。 And as low-cost cdma handsets from top manufacturers are in short supply for sale in emerging markets, Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have swiftly taken up these markets. This has also enabled China's cdma phone production to reach 10% of the total production for the first time in the second quarter. Quote
Mugi Posted October 24, 2007 at 04:11 AM Report Posted October 24, 2007 at 04:11 AM ...在第二季首度躍升至一成大關...for the first time in the second quarter Does this mean "the first time in the second quarter, but there was at least one time it reached 10% in the first quarter" OR "this is the first time it has reached 10% ever, and this event happened in the second quarter."? I'm guessing the latter, but is the Chinese definitive, or can both interpretations be made? Quote
skylee Posted October 24, 2007 at 05:08 AM Report Posted October 24, 2007 at 05:08 AM I think it is the latter. The chinese is clearer. Sorry for the poor translation but it is not my profession. Quote

Mugi Posted October 25, 2007 at 04:35 AM Report Posted October 25, 2007 at 04:35 AM Thanks skylee. There was nothing wrong with your translation (just a tad ambiguous), and I wasn't confident enough about the Chinese to make an outright statement. Quote
82riceballs Posted October 25, 2007 at 11:35 PM Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 at 11:35 PM 中國在全球手機供應鏈的角色也越來越重要。 The role that China plays as the supplier of cellphones worldwide has grown increasingly important. why is there 鏈 (chain)? what is it doing there? Quote
