nternational coffee company and coffeehouse Starbucks has again brewed debate over business versus historical interests in China after its opening of an outlet near a famed Buddhist temple in East China. 国际连锁咖啡公司星巴克再次在中国引发争议，这次的矛盾主要集中在商业与古迹之间的博弈，而事件起因是星巴克在华东地区一间著名古刹旁的新店开张。 The controversial Starbucks outlet opened on Saturday in the scenic zone of the quiet, secluded Lingyin Temple, or the Temple of Soul's Retreat, which is located in a wooded area on the bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province. 上周六，这家坐落在风景优美、与世隔绝的灵隐寺风景区中的星巴克连锁店在一片争议声中开门营业。灵隐寺位于浙江杭州西湖岸边的一片树林之中。 This is not the first time for Starbucks to light a fire under the kettle in China. In 2007, similar disputes over commercialism in points of historical interest eventually forced the closure of an outlet of the company it had operated for seven years in Beijing's Forbidden city, also known as the Imperial Palace. 这并非星巴克第一次在中国引发热议了。2007年，类似的一场关于历史古迹商业化的论战最终迫使运营了7年时间的星巴克门店退出北京故宫。 Some people have expressed concerns about the American coffee chain's presence near the peaceful temple. |
