Simone Biles comes just days after we learned that Kobe Bryant's estate is also leaving Nike after nearly 18 years and at least 20 pairs of sneakers.

1.Simone Biles

蒙·拜爾斯（Simone Biles），1997年3月14日出生于俄亥俄州哥倫布市，美國職業(yè)體操運動員，效力于美國女子體操隊。她擁有著驚人的爆發(fā)力和卓越的穩(wěn)定性，是集力量、技術、心理素質于一身的體操選手。

2.estate 遺產

3.Nike 發(fā)應注意

4.sneakers 運動鞋

譯：就在我們剛剛得知科比的遺產團隊也將要和Nike終止長達接近18年而且至少有20雙運動員的合作之后，沒幾天Simone Biles也宣布將終止與Nike的合作。

Kobe's wife Vanessa was at odds with Nike over supply issues.The estate has been quietly filing patents and trademarks of its own, hinting at a new line.

1.at odds with 與某人在某事上不和

2.supply issues 商品供應商的問題

3.filing 正式提出（訴訟、請求）

4.patent 專利權

5.trademark 商標

6.hinting at 間接地表明某物

7.line 產品種類

譯：科比的老婆Vanessa之前和Nike在供應問題上有些不和，而科比的遺產團隊最近也在悄悄的注冊自己的商標和專利權，而這一切都意味著一個新的鞋子類別將要出現(xiàn)。

——————————————————————

As for Nike, Bryant's sneakers aren't necessarily a needle mover on sales. They are reportedly under $250 million. But Bryant of course, is an icon.

1.As for ≠for

As for 至于。放在句子開頭承接兩個邏輯關系為轉折的句子。

Gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send the "stronger signal". As for gift-recipients, they may not construe smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness.

2.needle mover 產生影響的東西

v.move the needle

3.reportedly 據報道，據了解

4.icon 偶像

譯：至于Nike方面，科比的運動鞋系列不一定對Nike的銷量有多大的影響，因為科比系列的銷量只有不到2.5億美元。但顯然，科比是一位偶像。
