An American blogger has discovered three fake Apple stores operating in Kunming city, Yunnan provincial capital in southwest China, BBC reported. Pictures of the stores, their staff and a description of a stroll around them were posted on the BirdAbroad blog.
据英国广播公司报道，一名美国博客作者在云南省会昆明市发现了三家冒牌苹果店，并把该店的图片、店里的员工和周围的场景都发到了她的个人博客BirdAbroad上。

In the article, the blogger writes about conversations with staff, many of whom were convinced that they were employed by the U.S. electronics firm.
在博客中，她写到了自己与员工的对话，发现店里多数员工都确信，他们是为真的苹果公司工作。

Apple has said it has no comment to make on the discovery of the counterfeit shops.
目前苹果公司未对此事作出评论。

On her blog, BirdAbroad described the stores as a "beautiful ripoff -- a brilliant one -- the best rip-off store we had ever seen."
在她的博客里，她将这几家店描述为“漂亮的剽窃、极富智慧，是我们见过的最好的假店”。

The 27-year-old blogger said her story about the fake store in the southwestern city of Kunming attracted nearly 1 million hits over the past three days, Reuters reported.

据路透社报道，这名27岁的博主BirdAbroad在她的博客上写到昆明的冒牌苹果店，短短三天之内点击量就近百万。

The woman invited readers to send their photographs of fake Apple stores worldwide -- and has received responses from places including Costa Rica, Caracas and Vietnam.
她在博客上邀请读者给她发送世界各地冒牌苹果店照片，还真收到来自哥斯达黎加、加拉斯加和越南等地读者的回信。

"You just made me realize, I, too, have been in a fake Apple Store without knowing it! While I was living in Bogotá, Colombia last year I found an Apple Store in the middle of a very trendy area of the city. But nowhere does it show on the Apple website that there is a store in Colombia, nor did I find any authorized retailers there," wrote a reader named Laura.
一位名叫劳拉的读者在回信中说：“你让我意识到，我也曾身在一家冒牌苹果店却一点都不知道。去年我在哥伦比亚首都波哥大一处闹市地段发现一家苹果店，但苹果官方网站显示，哥伦比亚没有专卖店，甚至连授权经销商都没有。”

The blog also has a picture of a fake Apple store in Hanoi.
该博客上还有一张在越南河内的假苹果店照片。

In China, Apple has four genuine Apple Stores in Beijing and Shanghai and none in Kunming in Yunnan province. The company has 13 authorized retailers in Kunming.
在中国，苹果公司只在北京和上海有4家官方零售店，在昆明只有13家授权经销商，并没有官方零售店。
