佈局全球 支付寶把生意做到了北極圈!

Alipay, the payment platform of China's e-commerce giant Alibaba, announced last Tuesday that it has extended its service to the northernmost part of the world: the Santa Claus Village in Lapland, Finland.

國內電商巨頭阿里巴巴旗下的支付平臺支付寶上週二宣佈，已將服務範圍擴展至世界最北端--芬蘭拉普蘭的聖誕老人村。

Alipay gained acceptance at more than 100 shops, restaurants and hotels in the northern Finnish city of Rovaniemi within a month.

芬蘭北部城市羅瓦涅米的百餘家商店、飯店和酒店一個月內就接受了支付寶。

About 70,000 overseas physical stores from 16 countries and regions took part in Double 12 this year, a move that will enhance Alipay's influence in European and American markets, according to Douglas Feagin, head of Alipay International.

支付寶國際業務負責人道格拉斯·費根表示，來自16個國家和地區約7萬家線下海外門店參與了今年的雙12，這將提升支付寶在歐美市場的影響力。

By the end of November, Alipay's payment service had extended to department stores, airports and restaurants in seven European countries, including Germany, France and Finland.

截至11月底，支付寶的支付服務已擴展至德國、法國、芬蘭等7個歐洲國家的百貨公司、機場和餐館。

Currently, about 100,000 overseas stores have connected with Alipay's mobile payment service.

目前，約10萬家海外店鋪已接入支付寶的移動支付服務。

On "Singles' Day" this year, consumers spent more than 120 billion yuan (17.4 billion U.S. dollars) online with Alibaba.

在今年的光棍節，消費者在阿里巴巴的網購消費超過了1200億元（摺合174億美元）。
