Amazon is reportedly scrapping plans to build dozens of warehouse facilities across the United States amid slowed sales growth.
据报道，由于销售增长放缓，亚马逊取消了在美国各地建立数十个仓库设施的计划。

The consulting firm MWPVL says that the online retail giant is either closing or abandoning plans to open 42 facilities across the country totaling almost 25 million square feet of usable space, Bloomberg reported.
据彭博社报道，咨询公司MWPVL表示，这家在线零售巨头正在关闭或放弃在全国开设42家设施的计划，这些设施总可用空间近2,500万平方英尺。

The firm says that Amazon has also delayed opening 21 other locations and canceled several European projects, mostly in Spain.
该公司表示，亚马逊还推迟了其他21个地点的开业，并取消了几个欧洲项目，其中大部分在西班牙。

"Amazon is a dynamic business and we are constantly exploring new locations," Amazon spokesperson Maria Boschetti told Fox News Digital. "We weigh a variety of factors when deciding where to develop future sites to best serve customers. We have dozens of fulfillment centers, sortation centers and delivery stations under construction and evolving around the world. It’s common for us to explore multiple locations simultaneously and adjust timetables based on needs across the network."
“亚马逊是一个充满活力的企业，我们不断探索新的地点，”亚马逊发言人玛丽亚·博舍蒂告诉福克斯新闻数字。“在决定在哪里开发未来站点以最好地服务客户时，我们会权衡各种因素。我们在世界各地有数十个正在建设和发展的配送中心、分拣中心和配送站。我们经常同时探索多个地点，并根据整个网络的需求调整时间表。”

Amazon posted its slowest growth rate in more than 20 years in July but ultimately posted better results than expected which caused the stock to jump 12%, the New York Times reported.

"Despite continued inflationary pressures in fuel, energy and transportation costs, we’re making progress on the more controllable costs we referenced last quarter, particularly improving the productivity of our fulfillment network," Andy Jassy, Amazon’s chief executive, said in a statement at the time.
亚马逊首席执行官安迪·贾西（Andy Jassy）当时在一份声明中表示：“尽管燃料、能源和运输成本持续面临通胀压力，但我们在上季度提到的更可控成本方面取得了进展，特别是提高了我们履单网络的生产率。”。

Amazon announced earlier this year that it would begin subleasing some warehouse space as online shopping numbers have been slowing down.
今年早些时候，亚马逊宣布将开始转租一些仓库空间，因为在线购物数量一直在放缓。

Spokeswoman Alisa Carroll said subleasing allows the company to "relieve the financial obligations associated with an existing building" that no longer meets its needs.
发言人阿莉莎·卡罗尔（Alisa Carroll）表示，转租使该公司能够“减轻与不再满足需求的现有建筑相关的财务义务”。
