　　据当地媒体6月1日报道，为提高公司财务状况并恢复其在美国通信市场的活力，软银将抛售部分阿里巴巴股票，金额高达79亿美元。作为日本移动通信巨头，软件银行集团长期持有中国电子商务巨头阿里巴巴集团的股票。

　　Japan's mobile telecommunications behemoth SoftBank Group Corp. will sell a long-held investment worth 7.9 billion U.S. dollars in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group to enhance its fiscal situation, as it eyes, in part, in rehabilitating its activities in its U.S. communications market, local media said Wednesday.

　　软银称，公司对阿里巴巴的持股比例将从原先的32.2%降至28%，目前市场价格大概为500亿美元。并且，公司希望抛售的股票能够尽快吸引到有意者，最好在几周内完成交易，这样有助于提高公司资本。

　　SoftBank said it will continue to keep 28 percent from its 32.2 percent stake in Alibaba, which at market rates is currently worth around 50 billion U.S. dollars, and will sell its stock to interested parties to raise capital, with the transactions expected to take place relatively soon and possibly within a few weeks.

　　即使抛售了部分阿里巴巴股票，孙正义管理的软银集团仍然是中国电子商务巨头阿里巴巴的最大持股者。软银董事长孙正义和阿里巴巴执行主席马云都表示会继续担任对方公司的董事会成员。

　　After the stock sale however, SoftBank, controlled by billionaire Masayoshi Son, will still be the largest shareholder of the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut and sources from both parties stated that Son and Alibaba Executive Chairman Jack Ma will both continue to serve as board members of each others' firms.

　　软银表示，抛售阿里巴巴股份的决定与美国证监会对阿里巴巴的调查没有关系，这个决定纯粹是出于对公司的资本重组，减免债务和支持投资者建议的考虑。

　　SoftBank said that its decision to sell its shares in Alibaba had nothing to do with a recent accounting probe into Alibaba by the U.S. authorities and said that the move was purely driven by its plans for capital restructuring and moves toward deleveraging its position and bolstering investor sentiment.

　　2013年，软银斥资216美元买下美国电信控股公司Sprint的多数股份。Sprint提供无线服务并成为全球性的网络运营商。软银的目的是在相对饱和的美国无线市场开辟一条道路。但自从软银持股以来，Sprint的运营状况一直不理想并且负债累累，不仅不断地流失客户，还需要大量资金来维持运转。

　　In 2013, SoftBank bought a major stake in Sprint, a U.S. telecommunications holding company that provides wireless services and is a major global internet carrier, for 21.6 billion U.S. dollars. The move by SoftBank was to forge its way into a relatively saturated U.S. wireless market, but Sprint has performed poorly since SoftBank's buy-in and has been struggling with mounting debts, an ever-eroding consumer base as well as outgoings to augment its network.

　　受到财务状况不理想的困扰，软银抛售阿里巴巴股份以求改善财务状况，使投资者重拾信心。

　　As such, the adverse financial conditions have ticked over to SoftBank, with those close to the matter saying its move with Alibaba is aimed at proactively consolidating its finances, while attempting to renew slumping investor confidence.
