Even as Japanese officials wring their hands about the harmful effects of China’s air pollution drifting over to Japan, Japanese white goods manufacturers are finding the problem has a welcome silver lining.
就在日本官員為從中國(guó)漂來的空氣污染物造成的有害影響而煩惱之際，日本的白色家電制造商卻發(fā)現(xiàn)，這個(gè)問題給它們帶來的是意外的商機(jī)。
Sales of air purifiers made by Daikin, Panasonic and Sharp have shot up in China amid mounting concerns about air pollution over the past few months.
過去幾個(gè)月里，隨著中國(guó)人對(duì)空氣污染日感擔(dān)憂，大金(Daikin)、松下(Panasonic)和夏普(Sharp)三家日企生產(chǎn)的空氣凈化器在華銷量急劇增長(zhǎng)。
Sharp said sales of its air purifiers in China tripled last month compared with a year earlier, while Panasonic sold more than twice as many air purifiers in China in January.
夏普表示，該公司空氣凈化器在華銷量上月同比增長(zhǎng)兩倍。松下空氣凈化器上月在華銷量也同比增長(zhǎng)一倍以上。
Daikin, a leading maker of air-conditioners, also saw sales of its air purifiers in China rise 3.6 times year on year in January.
知名空調(diào)生產(chǎn)商大金的空氣凈化器在華銷量上月同比增長(zhǎng)2.6倍。
The boost in demand for air purifiers is a rare piece of positive news for Sharp and Panasonic, which are struggling to regain profitability. Sharp is forecasting a record net loss in the year to the end of March of Y450bn ($4.8bn), while Panasonic expects to suffer a net loss of Y765bn.
對(duì)夏普和松下而言，空氣凈化器需求增長(zhǎng)是個(gè)難得的好消息。這兩家公司目前都在為恢復(fù)盈利而掙扎。夏普預(yù)計(jì)，在截至3月底的一年里，該公司凈虧損額將達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的4500億日元（合48億美元），而松下預(yù)計(jì)將凈虧損7650億日元。
“We believe the impact of the air pollution problem in China on sales of our air purifiers is huge. We expect sales to continue increasing until May or June,” said a Panasonic representative. The group is ramping up production by 50 per cent.
松下的一名代表說：“我們相信，中國(guó)空氣污染問題會(huì)給我們的空氣凈化器銷售帶來很大影響。我們預(yù)計(jì)，到今年5月或6月，這一產(chǎn)品的銷量還將繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)?！痹摷瘓F(tuán)正致力于將空氣凈化器產(chǎn)量提高50%。
Demand for air purifiers made by Japanese manufacturers had already been on the rise in China, due to increasing awareness of health and environmental issues, a Sharp representative said.
夏普的一名代表說，由于人們?nèi)找孀⒁饨】岛铜h(huán)境問題，日本制造商生產(chǎn)的空氣凈化器在華需求已在不斷增長(zhǎng)。 ?
