In an alleyway in London’s Camden Market, a woman in ripped black jeans and fingerless gloves fiddles with an iPad screen. Like most shopkeepers in this area, Emma Peonia usually sells clothes to tattooed youngsters paying with debit cards or cash but, for the first time, she is using a Chinese payments app to sell an Iron Maiden T-shirt. 在伦敦卡姆登市场(Camden Market,见文首照片)的一条巷子里,一名身着黑色破洞牛仔裤、手戴露指手套的女性在iPad屏幕上不停摆弄。和这里的大多数店主一样,埃玛?皮奥尼亚(Emma Peonia)通常把衣服卖给文身的年轻人,他们用借记卡或者现金支付。但现在,她第一次用一款中国支付应用来卖一件Iron Maiden乐队T恤衫。 “My boss thought it would be useful — she has just created a new website,” she says. “She wants to sell more to Chinese tourists.” “我的老板觉得这会派上用场——她刚刚建了一个新网站。”皮奥尼亚说,“她想把更多商品卖给中国游客。” |
