A San Francisco clothing retailer has filed a class-action lawsuit against Ivanka Trump’s clothing and accessory company, accusing the operation of unfair competition because of her connections to the White House.
一家旧金山的服装零售商对伊万卡·特朗普的服装和饰品公司提起了集体诉讼，控告其因与白宫之间的关系而进行不公平竞争。
“President Donald J. Trump and his individual and White House employees and agents have, since the election, promoted defendant Ivanka Trump’s brand by exploiting the power and prestige of the White House,” read the complaint, filed last week in San Francisco Superior Court.
上周在旧金山高等法院提起的控诉中写道：“自总统大选以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统、他个人的和白宫的员工以及政府代表都在利用权力和白宫的威望来宣传被告伊万卡·特朗普的品牌。”
The suit also accuses company employees of “piggy backing” product promotions on government events.
该诉讼还控告其公司职员在政府活动中“捎带着”进行产品宣传。
The lawsuit points to a company sales boost after Donald Trump slammed Nordstrom department store on Twitter in February for dumping his daughter’s products.
该诉讼指出，2月份川普在推特上猛烈抨击了诺德斯特姆百货公司倾销他女儿的产品，之后伊万卡公司的销售额就增长了。
It also cites Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway’s touting of Ivanka Trump products during an interview on national TV. “I’m going to give a free commercial here,” Conway said on Fox News. “Go buy it today, everybody.”
该诉讼还指出，川普的顾问凯莉安娜·康韦在国家电视台的一次采访中吹捧伊万卡·特朗普的产品。“我要在这儿免费打个广告，”康韦在福克斯新闻上说道。“各位，今天就去买（伊万卡·特朗普的产品）吧。”
Sales of Ivanka Trump products soared 346 percent from January to February compared with the same period last year because she and her family are exploiting their White House connections, the lawsuit states.
该诉讼声明，因为伊万卡·特朗普和她的家族利用他们与白宫之间的关系，从一月到二月，与去年同期相比，伊万卡·特朗普的产品销售额暴涨346%。
The lawsuit seeks to represent a class including all women’s clothing and accessory companies that operated in California between November 9, 2016 ― the day after the election — through the date of trial.
该诉讼力图代表在2016年11月9日，也就是大选日之后的一天，到审判日期间，在加利福尼亚州运营的所有的女装和饰品公司这一个社会群体。
The suit is seeking restraining orders barring Ivanka Trump’s brand from continuing to compete unfairly in California.
该诉讼寻求对伊万卡·特朗普的品牌实行限制令，禁止其继续在加利福尼亚进行不公平竞争。
So far, Ivanka Trump’s company has not commented on the suit.
目前，伊万卡·特朗普的公司还未对此诉讼发表任何意见。
