2017考研英语拓展阅读：苹果涉嫌操纵价格在俄罗斯被调查
Russia has accused American technology giant Apple Inc. of allegedly fixing retail prices of its iPhones in the country.
俄罗斯表示已经对美国科技巨头苹果公司展开了调查，原因是苹果涉嫌操纵iPhone在当地的价格。
Russia’s Federal Anti-monopoly Service (FAS) said Monday an investigation found that retailers "set identical prices" for iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and other iPhone models and kept the prices at that level for a certain period of time.
俄罗斯联邦反垄断署(FAS)周一宣布，已对苹果展开调查，因其分销商涉嫌为iPhone 6s、iPhone 6s Plus和其他型号iPhone产品“制定相同的售价”，并在一定时间内保持这个价格水平。
Targets of the investigation are Apple’s Russian operation, known as Apple Rus, Apple Inc., three other Apple business entities and 16 of the company’s primary resellers in Russia.
调查对象是苹果在俄罗斯的业务部门——苹果俄罗斯分部，在俄罗斯有3家实体店和16家主要分销商。
MTS, one of the resellers targeted by FAS, declined a request for comment. Another firm, Euroset, denied allegations of price fixing.
FAS调查的对象之一——MTS，拒绝就此事发表评论。另一家公司欧洲网络否认了垄断价格的指控。
Apple, which was not immediately available for comment, has previously been the target of a Russian price-fixing investigation. As a result of the probe, two Russian mobile businesses were fined for fixing prices for iPhone 4.
苹果公司没有立即对此事作出回应，该公司之前一直是俄罗斯反垄断机构调查的对象。调查的结果是，两家俄罗斯公司因为垄断iPhone 4的价格而被罚款。
FAS said it launched the investigation in response to a complaint from a consumer who noticed the prices remain unchanged since the 2015 introduction of the two new models in Russia.
FAS称，这次开展调查是因为一名消费者抱怨称，这两款手机自2015年引进俄罗斯之后，价格就没有变过。
