中国到处都是“独角兽” [英国媒体]

China’s startup industry is booming. Here’s a list ofChinese unicorns that have entered the market since the start of the year

中国的创业企业正在蓬勃发展。以下是今年年初以来进入市场的中国“独角兽”企业名单。



Since the beginning of 2017, China has seen its fairshare of unicorns. No, not the national animal of Scotland. We're talking aboutstartups valued in excess of $1 billion.

2017年初以来，中国“独角兽”的市场份额已经相当可观。不，不是苏格兰的国家象征动物。我们谈论的是市值超10亿美元的创业公司。

In 2017, 41 global technology companies have reachedunicorn status, according to data intelligence platform CB Insights. Of those,15 are from China. Europe, by contrast, has hatched just five unicorns thisyear.

根据数据信息平台CB Insights提供的数据，2017年，全球有41家科技公司符合“独角兽”的要求。其中有15个来自中国。相比之下，欧洲今年只有5家。

The United States remains on top (but only just) with 17new unicorns. Since 2009, the US has dominated the global startup scene. Thereare now 215 unicorns globally, with the United States claiming 107 of those,according to CB Insights. The majority are based in California.

美国仍处于领先地位，不过也只有17家新独角兽。2009年以来，美国一直主导着全球创业圈。根据CB Insights的数据，目前全球共有215家“独角兽”企业，其中美国有107家，大多数都是在加州。

But China is catching up fast. In 2014 China only hadeight unicorns, now it has 56. Europe has 23. Most of China’s new class ofunicorns are in the e-commerce and online marketplace industries. "The $1billion-plus valuations for these companies are influenced by the rise ofChina’s middle class that are increasingly shopping online for goods andservices" says William Altman, a technology industry analyst at CBInsights.

但中国正在迎头赶上。2014年，中国只有8家独角兽公司，现在有56家。欧洲有23家。中国的新型独角兽企业主要来自电子商务和网络市场行业。“这些公司估值超过10亿美元，随着中国中产阶级崛起，人们越来越多地选择在网上购买商品和服务，”CB Insights的技术行业分析师威廉•奥特曼表示。

The dominance of Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent in theChinese market is also significant. "Increasing investment activity inChina’s unicorns is also notable for contributing to higher valuations that,in-turn, warrant big-ticket investments" Altman says.

阿里巴巴、百度和腾讯在中国市场的优势非常显着。奥特表示:“中国“独角兽”企业的投资在增加，这有助于提高企业估值，反过来又能为这些企业赢得大量投资。”

"While most European countries are stagnating interms of entrepreneurship, China remains wealthy and technologically advanced,with a huge capital inflow" adds Tino Sanandaji, an economist at theStockholm School of Economics. "The sheer force of China's entrepreneurialsurge means it's momentum is likely to continue".

斯德哥尔摩经济学院的经济学家蒂诺•萨纳达吉补充到:“尽管大多数欧洲国家在创业方面都停滞不前，但中国资金充足，技术先进，拥有巨大的资金流。中国创业浪潮的绝对优势意味着，中国创业势头会持续下去。”

It's definitely because China has lots of young malevirgins! Unicorns are gay after all.
I mean seriously, if you're busy working your asses offin a rising startup, you won't have much time to get a girlfriend until yourimpending arranged marriage at your mother's insistence at your 30s.

这肯定是因为中国有很多年轻的处男！毕竟，“独角兽”指的是同性恋。
说真的，如果你正忙着在一家新兴的创业公司工作，你就不会有太多的时间去找女朋友了，除非你的母亲在你30多岁的时候给你安排好了婚姻。
