中国共享单车小蓝尚未在旧金山获得许可

 　　Chinese bike-share startup Bluegogo, which had planned to fill San Francisco's public bike racks with rental¹ bicycles, is seeking permits after drawing backlash from city leaders.

　　中国共享单车初创企业“小蓝单车”原计划到美国旧金山发展租赁单车业务，但是却遭到了该市官员的反对，目前正在申请许可。

　　The company has recently faced resistance in its first US market－San Francisco, which is home to other share-economy innovations like Uber, Lyft and Airbnb.

　　日前，这家公司遭到了来自其第一个美国市场--旧金山的阻力，该市目前拥有像优步、Lyft、以及Airbnb等其它的共享经济创新产品。

　　Different from other bike-share programs, Bluegogo's bikes are equipped with smart locks and GPS systems, which allow riders to locate and unlock the bikes using their smartphones and leave them at any public bike rack without locking. The service costs only 99 cents per half hour.

　　和其他的共享单车项目不同，“小蓝单车”的自行车都配有智能锁和GPS系统，这使得骑车的人可以用手机来定位和锁住单车，并且不用上锁就可以把单车停放在任何公共自行车架上。这项服务每半小时只收费99美分。

　　The company had planned to launch the program last month, but city leaders vowed² to impound their bicycles and fine the company if they went ahead without permission.

　　该公司原计划上月推出这项计划，但是旧金山市的官员表示，如果“小蓝单车”未经许可就行动，他们将扣押该公司的自行车并罚款。

　　City officials, who have referred to Bluegogoas a "rogue³" company, were worried that the company would dump tens of thousands of bikes that would clutter⁴ public sidewalks. Bluegogo does not reveal how many bicycles it plans to deposit in the city.

　　该市官员称“小蓝单车”是一个“流氓”公司，担心该公司会在旧金山倾泻数万辆自行车，使得人行道杂乱不堪。“小蓝单车”方面也没有透露计划在该市总共投入多少单车。

　　Supervisor⁵ Aaron Peskin said: "Every single time, these arrogant⁶ tech companies ask later for forgiveness, or ask later for permission. This is the first time where San Francisco has gotten ahead of the curve."

　　旧金山城市监督人亚伦·佩斯金表示：“每一次，这些傲慢的科技公司都是先斩后奏。这是旧金山第一次走在了他们前面。”

　　Ilya Movshovich, Bluegogo's vice-president of US operations, told China Daily in an email: "We'd still really like to come to an agreement with the city regarding the use of public racks. We last met with the city on Jan 25 and are still waiting to hear back on what permits might be needed."

　　“小蓝单车”美国区营运副总裁伊利亚·莫沙维奇在写给《中国日报》的一份电子邮件中表示：“我们仍然很想和旧金山市在使用公共自行车架方面达成协议。我们上次和该市官员会面是在1月25日，我们仍然在等他们回复需要哪些许可。”
