Crocs洞洞鞋要成歷史？官方是這麼說的....
Crocs has announced the closure of its last manufacturing facility in Italy, much to the dismay of its global array of consumers.
Crocs（卡駱馳）宣佈關閉它位於意大利的最後一個製造工廠的消息，讓全球消費者驚掉了下巴。
The comfortable foam clog shoe has been a source of contention ever since it was first launched 16 years ago, as it is unquestionably one of the most hated shoes around the world.
自16年前問世以來，這種舒適的泡沫硬底鞋就一直處在爭議中，因爲它無疑是“世上最讓人討厭”的鞋。
When the news of the facility's closure was announced by the company in a quarterly statement published on August 7, numerous people took this to mean that Crocs would soon become a thing of the past. “Really Crocs have the audacity to shut down after all that we've been through together? My heart hurts,” someone wrote online. “SAVE OUR CROCS,” another person pleaded.
八月七日Crocs在其季度報告中宣佈了關閉製造工廠的消息，許多人認爲這意味着Crocs即將成爲歷史。“真的嗎？Crocs就這麼任性地倒閉了？枉我們一起經歷了這麼多，我的心好痛！”有人在網上這樣寫到。“快來救救我們的Crocs！”也有人發出懇求。
However, despite the widespread belief that Crocs would be folding, Crocs has informed the internet that this isn't the case. “FALSE ALARM: We aren't going anywhere,” the company wrote online in response, Crocs stated: “Take comfort, #CrocNation. Our future remains as bright, bold and colourful as ever.”
在Crocs即將倒閉的消息傳得鋪天蓋地之時，Crocs在網上發聲了，表示情況並不是這樣：“假警報：我們哪裏都不去！”Crocs在網上回應到，“放寬心，#洞洞迷！我們的未來仍是明亮、無畏和色彩斑斕的。”
According to the statement in regard to the company's revenue in the second quarter of 2018, Crocs will be closing its last manufacturing facility in order to "simplify the business and improve profitability." Crocs has stated that it believes it will bring in a revenue of around $240 to $250m (£188 to £195m) in the third quarter of the year.
在有關2018年第二季度公司收益的聲明中提到，Crocs關閉製造廠的目的在於“簡化業務，提高收益”。Crocs表示，它相信這項舉措將帶來今年第三季度2.4 -2.5億美元（1.88-1.95億英鎊）的收益。
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Crocs had released a high-heeled version of its comfortable but aesthetically displeasing shoe in collaboration with British designer Christopher Kane. Named the “Women's Cyprus V Heel,” the shoe is currently sold out on the Crocs website.
據透露，今年早些時候，Crocs與英國設計師克里斯多夫・凱恩聯手出品了一款舒適但談不上美感的高跟鞋。這款叫做“女人的塞浦路斯V高跟鞋”的鞋，目前已在Crocs網站上賣斷貨。
