希尼爾翻譯公司（www.myfavoritepainters.net）2016年5月16日了解到：An anti-counterfeiting group said Friday it was suspending Alibaba’s membership following an uproar by some companies that view the Chinese e-commerce giant as the world’s largest marketplace for fakes.

國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟于周五宣布他們將暫停阿里巴巴的會(huì)員資格。原因是該機(jī)構(gòu)的部分聯(lián)盟公司認(rèn)為這個(gè)中國(guó)的電子商務(wù)巨頭實(shí)質(zhì)上是全球最大的假貨市場(chǎng)，他們對(duì)阿里的加盟表示不滿。

The International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition told members that it had failed to inform the board of directors about conflicts of interest involving the group’s president, Robert Barchiesi.

國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟表示，理事會(huì)未能獲悉主席羅伯特·巴切西涉及到的利益沖突。

Earlier Friday, The Associated Press reported that Barchiesi had stock in Alibaba, had close ties to an Alibaba executive and had used family members to help run the coalition.

周五早些時(shí)候，美聯(lián)社報(bào)道巴切西實(shí)際上持有阿里巴巴股票，與阿里巴巴總裁關(guān)系密切，并曾讓家人參與聯(lián)盟的日常工作。

The coalition, in a letter to members sent after the AP report came out, said conflicts weren’t disclosed to the board "because of a weakness in our corporate governance procedures." It said the failure was not because of "inaction on Bob’s part," referring to Barchiesi.

繼美聯(lián)社報(bào)道之后，國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟向眾位會(huì)員公司寫信解釋之所以沒有向理事會(huì)透露相關(guān)利益沖突是因?yàn)楣镜墓芾沓绦蚍浅１∪?。信中還表示這一切并不是巴切西的責(zé)任，與其無關(guān)。

The coalition said that is hiring an independent firm to review its corporate government policies.

聯(lián)盟表示他們計(jì)劃租用一個(gè)單獨(dú)的公司，用來審核公司管理的相關(guān)政策。

In its letter, the board said that as a result of members’ concerns, it was suspending a new class of membership under which Alibaba had recently joined. The move would affect two other companies that signed up under the new rules.

理事會(huì)們?cè)谛胖刑岬?，出于部分?huì)員公司的擔(dān)心，該機(jī)構(gòu)將暫時(shí)取消新設(shè)立的會(huì)員資格，不久前阿里巴巴正是通過這種資格的設(shè)立加入了國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟。此舉還可能會(huì)影響到其他兩家新近加入聯(lián)盟的公司。

Jennifer Kuperman, Alibaba’s head of international corporate affairs, said companies like Alibaba were important for solving the problem of counterfeiting.

阿里巴巴集團(tuán)國(guó)際企業(yè)事業(yè)部主管詹妮弗·庫(kù)珀曼則表示，類似阿里巴巴這樣的公司對(duì)處理反假問題實(shí)質(zhì)上起著非常重要的作用。

"Whether or not we are a member of the IACC, we will continue our productive and results-oriented relationships with brands, governments and all industry partners," she said.

詹妮弗表示：“不管我們是不是國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟的成員，我們都會(huì)一如既往地注重結(jié)果，并持續(xù)和產(chǎn)品品牌、政府以及其他的行業(yè)伙伴保持這種富有成效的關(guān)系?！?span id="88339achw" class="style52">

At issue is the independence of a small but influential coalition that lobbies U.S. officials and testifies before Congress.

國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟是一家規(guī)模不大，但比較有影響力的機(jī)構(gòu)，經(jīng)常游說美國(guó)政府官員，并在國(guó)會(huì)作證。

Alibaba’s membership could help shape the global fight against counterfeits. Fakes damage companies’ bottom lines, can harm consumers who unknowingly buy such products, and feed a vast underground money-laundering industry that supports criminal syndicates.

阿里巴巴加入反假聯(lián)盟可能會(huì)從一定程度上改變?nèi)虼蚣傩蝿?shì)。假貨會(huì)影響公司的利益，會(huì)損害在不知情條件下購(gòu)買這類產(chǎn)品的消費(fèi)者的權(quán)益，同時(shí)還會(huì)孳生一大批地下洗錢的不法行業(yè)，為犯罪組織提供便利。

In recent weeks Gucci America, Michael Kors and Tiffany have quit the Washington D.C.-based coalition, which has more than 250 members.

最近幾周，古馳的美國(guó)分公司，邁克爾·科斯以及蒂芙尼等公司已經(jīng)先后退出了國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟。該機(jī)構(gòu)有250多名會(huì)員公司。

The AP found several ties between the group’s president and Alibaba:

此外，美聯(lián)社發(fā)現(xiàn)聯(lián)盟主席巴切西與阿里巴巴還存在以下關(guān)系：

—Barchiesi has owned Alibaba stock since its 2014 listing in New York. The IACC said in a statement that the holdings represent "a small percentage of his investment portfolio."

巴切西自從阿里巴巴2014年在美國(guó)上市以來就持有該公司股票。國(guó)際反假聯(lián)盟表示這部分股票只是他個(gè)人投資組合中的一小部分。

—Matthew Bassiur, who took over as vice president of global intellectual property enforcement at Alibaba in January, hired Barchiesi’s son, Robert Barchiesi II, to work at Apple back in 2011. Alibaba said that hire was made on merit. Apple declined to comment.

今年一月剛剛?cè)温毎⒗锇桶腿蛑R(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)副主席的馬修·巴希爾曾在2011年雇用巴切西的兒子羅伯特·巴切西二世在蘋果公司工作。阿里巴巴則聲稱公司是任人唯賢，不存在裙帶關(guān)系。蘋果公司則拒絕回應(yīng)。

—Bassiur is a founding board member of the ICE Foundation, which supports U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees. Since 2013, the foundation has been run by Barchiesi’s other son, James Barchiesi. That same year, the foundation’s board voted to award a contract for "fiscal and operational management" to a private company, also run by James Barchiesi. The foundation has received grants of $10,000 from the anti-counterfeiting coalition every year since 2012, tax filings show.

巴希爾是ICE基金會(huì)的創(chuàng)始董事成員之一，該基金會(huì)一直向美國(guó)移民及海關(guān)執(zhí)法局的員工提供支持。自2013年以來，該基金會(huì)就一直由巴切西的另一個(gè)兒子詹姆斯·巴切西在運(yùn)營(yíng)。同年，ICE基金會(huì)進(jìn)行投票，將財(cái)務(wù)和運(yùn)營(yíng)管理權(quán)交給由詹姆斯·巴奇斯運(yùn)營(yíng)的一家私營(yíng)公司。據(jù)相關(guān)稅務(wù)文件顯示，該基金會(huì)自2012年以來每年都會(huì)從反假聯(lián)盟中收到近1萬美元的捐款。

Kuperman, of Alibaba, said Bassiur’s expertise would help the company "further instill trust in our marketplaces."

阿里巴巴公司的庫(kù)珀曼則聲稱，巴切西的專業(yè)技術(shù)將進(jìn)一步幫助阿里巴巴向市場(chǎng)注入信任。

"We are highly confident in his abilities and proud to have him at Alibaba in this critical global role," she said.

庫(kù)珀曼表示：“我們絕對(duì)相信巴切西的能力，非常高興他能夠擔(dān)任這樣一個(gè)關(guān)鍵職位?！?span id="88339achw" class="style52">

Robert Barchiesi had also come under fire for his stewardship of the coalition and allegations of conflicts of interest on the move to include Alibaba.
