The owner of Zara is taking on(与…竞争；接受挑战) Primark, Shein and the supermarkets with the launch of its cut-price(廉价的；削价的) chain Lefties in Britain, backed by an army of(一大批；大量) robots.
Zara的母公司正携其低价连锁品牌Lefties进军英国，与Primark、Shein及各大超市展开竞争，背后有机器人“大军”支持。
The Spanish fashion brand opened its first UK store in Liverpool on Thursday, a few weeks after quietly(悄悄地；不声张地) launching its UK website.
这家西班牙时尚品牌于周四在利物浦开设了其在英国的首家门店，而就在几周前，它悄然上线了英国官网。
The store has embraced(欣然接受；采用) robotics to reduce staffing costs, with self-checkouts that scan a whole basket in one go(一口气；一次完成) and a clothes hanger sorter(分拣机；分拣员). Shoppers put their hangers in a slot(狭槽；投币口) as they pay and they are taken on a hidden conveyor belt(传送带) to two robots behind a screen that sort them into boxes for different sizes.
该门店采用机器人技术以降低人力成本，设有可一次性扫描整个购物篮的自助结账机和衣架分拣机。顾客付款时将衣架放入槽口，衣架便通过隐藏传送带送至屏风后的两台机器人处，由它们按尺码分拣装箱。
