If you picked up your cup of joe from Starbucks this morning, you might have noticed that it cost a little more. Just when inflation was beginning to ease here in China, the coffee chain says: not so for its business and raised the prices on certain types of its drinks sold in China - starting from this morning.
如果你今天早上从星巴克买了杯咖啡的话，你就会发现星巴克涨价了。虽然中国的通胀情况刚刚有所缓解，星巴克却不买账，开始在中国的连锁店对部分产品进行涨价。
Hey, don't try to rip me off. I know what this is worth. I can get this cheaper at other places.

To win a following among Chinese buyers, brands have to follow three rules. First and most important, products that are consumed in public, directly or indirectly, command huge price premiums relative to goods used in private.
要赢得中国的消费者，品牌需遵循三个规则。第一点也是最重要的，公开使用的产品，无论是直接公开还是间接公开，价格都要高于私下使用的产品。
Luxury items are desired more as status investments than for their inherent beauty or craftsmanship. The Chinese are now the world's most avid luxury shoppers, at least if trips abroad to cities like Hong Kong and Paris are taken into account. According to Global Refund, a company specializing in tax-free shopping for tourists, the Chinese account for 15% of all luxury items purchased in France but less than 2% of its visitors.
购买奢侈品更多的是身份投资，而不是为了其本身的美观或工艺。中国目前是世界胃口最大的奢侈品买家，把前往香港和巴黎等城市的出境游算上的话至少是这样。据免税购物公司Global Refund统计，在法国，占游客总数不到2%的中国游客消费了15%的奢侈品。
China has raised gasoline and diesel prices by 350 yuan per ton, in a bid to reflect rising international crude-oil prices. It's also a move that could shake the country's taxi industry, as it pushes up operating costs.

Luxury buyers want to demonstrate mastery of the system while remaining understated, hence the appeal of Mont Blanc's six-point logo or Bottega Veneta's signature cross weave—both conspicuously discreet. Young consumers want both stylishness and acceptance, so they opt for more conventionally hip fashion brands like Converse and Uniqlo.
奢侈品消费者既要表现自己对体制游刃有余的掌控，同时又要保持低调，因此万宝龙的六角星标识和宝缇嘉标志性的编织皮革颇受欢迎，二者都是低调的奢华。年轻消费者既想要时尚，又希望被人接受，因此选择匡威(Converse)和优衣库(Uniqlo)等比较传统的时尚服装品牌。
