双语新闻：美国“零元购”猖獗，第二大零售商塔吉特关闭多家商店引行业震动
塔吉特成为最新一家因犯罪而关闭商店的零售商，商界领袖对此表示担忧。
“The US Chamber is deeply concerned with increasing reports of stores closing in communities across the country due to large-scale theft and looting,” Tom Wickman, senior vice president of state and local policy at the US Chamber of Commerce, told CNN in a statement on Wednesday. “No store should have to close because of theft.”

Target sent shockwaves through the industry on Tuesday by saying it will close nine stores across four states due to large-scale theft. It is not clear whether the stores were under-performing or reaching their revenue goals. Target did not comment on this or provide data on theft at the stores. Target previously said it was expecting to lose $500 million this year due to rising theft.

Crime statistics are not growing significantly more serious. But as economic fears grow amid inflation and rising borrowing costs, shoplifting often comes with the territory, industry watchers say.
犯罪统计数字的增长并没有明显加剧。但行业观察人士表示，随着通货膨胀和借贷成本上升，人们对经济的担忧加剧，商店行窃往往伴随着该地区而来。
“We are hearing from members large and small about the problems they continue to face from crime and, in some areas, a lack of prosecution of criminals,” Wickman said.
Wickman说：“我们从大大小小的成员那里听到了他们继续面临的犯罪问题，在某些领域，他们缺乏对罪犯的起诉。”
The Chamber of Commerce said it is pushing for new legislation to close loopholes that let people sell stolen products and it is “calling on prosecutors to do their jobs and hold criminals accountable.”
商会表示，它正在推动新的立法，以堵塞让人们销售被盗产品的漏洞，并“呼吁检察官做好本职工作，追究罪犯的责任”。
“We call on policymakers to tackle this problem head-on before it gets further out of control,” Wickman said.
Wickman说：“我们呼吁政策制定者在这个问题进一步失控之前正面解决这个问题。”

Wylde said retail theft puts workers at risk and costs stores when it comes to security and lost inventory.
Wylde说，零售盗窃使工人面临风险，并使商店在安全和库存损失方面付出代价。

Wylde说：“纽约警察局和地区检察官专注于这个问题，这就是为什么我们看到了进展，但还需要更多的措施来关闭已经成为复杂的犯罪行动。”
