The chairman of the Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi, a rising star of the consumer technology industry, said that sales more than doubled last year to $12.2 billion and that the company planned to expand further into global markets.
中国智能手机品牌小米是消费技术行业的后起之秀，该公司董事长说，去年小米的销售额增长一倍有余，达122亿美元，该公司计划进一步在全球市场上扩张。Xiaomi, a five-year-old company, sold 61.1 million handsets, a 227 percent increase over 2013.
小米公司诞生于五年前，去年它售出6110万部手机，比2013年增长227%。
Revenue rose 135 percent to 74.3 billion renminbi, or $12.2 billion, the chairman, Lei Jun, wrote on his company blog.
小米董事长雷军在公司博客上表示，公司营收743亿元人民币，同比增长135%。
Xiaomi overtook Samsung Electronics in the second quarter of last year and became China’s biggest-selling smartphone brand by number of handsets sold. The privately held company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fund-raising from investors that Mr. Lei said valued Xiaomi at $45 billion, making it one of the world’s most valuable technology brands.
以手机销售数量而言，去年第二季度，小米超越三星电子(Samsung Electronics)，成为中国最畅销的智能手机品牌。这家民营公司总部设在北京，最近从投资者处完成了一轮融资。雷军说，据此小米估值为450亿美元，这让它成为了世界上最具价值的科技品牌之一。Xiaomi plans to expand further abroad after selling a million handsets last year in India, its biggest foreign market, Mr. Lei said, though he gave no indication which markets it might focus on.
小米最大的国外市场是印度，去年它在那里销售了一百万部手机，该公司计划在海外进一步扩张，雷军说，不过他没有明确表示小米可能重点关注哪些市场。Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales of some handsets while it heard a complaint by Ericcson of Sweden that the Chinese company violated its patents.
去年12月，小米在印度遇到了法律上的麻烦：由于瑞典爱立信(Ericcson)称小米公司侵犯了它的专利，印度一所法院禁止该公司销售一些手机。Mr. Lei called the case a “rite of passage” for a young company.
雷军称这个案子是一家年轻公司的“成年礼”。
