每日听写10.6（选）高级苹果在中国与腾讯的应用之战 Apple is trying to fortify its position. 苹果公司努力加强自己在中国的地位。 It is investing heavily in its large network of stores and research labs on the mainland; and it plans to include China in the first wave of countries in which its highly anticipated new iPhone will be launched later this year. 所以它开始在大陆大量投资庞大的网络商店和研究实验室；而苹果公司计划将中国纳入备受期待的新苹果手机首波发行国家之中。 But Apple is on the defensive, whereas Tencent is firmly on the attack. 不过，苹果现在处于防御状态，腾讯则一直处于进攻状态。 Mr Brennan speculates that Tencent might even launch a WeChat phone, which would make Tencent's offering completely independent of the iPhone. Brennan预测腾讯甚至可能会推出微信手机，能够使腾讯推出的软件完全独立于苹果手机。 Anywhere else in the world, it would be foolish to go up against the Californian giant. 无论哪个国家的公司，与苹果公司作对是不明智的。 In China, though, the native firm may have the advantage. 但是在中国，本土公司也许有优势。 As Connie Chan of Andreessen Horowitz, an investment fund in Silicon Valley, puts it: “Loyalty is much, much stronger to WeChat than to Apple in China.” 硅谷的Andreessen Horowitz（一家风险投资基金公司）的Connie Chan 讲到：在中国，用户对于微信的忠诚要比苹果强的多。
