IKEA Store Closure 宜家闭店 | Learn Chinese with Yoyo Mo

现在我尝试所有播客内容都用全中文了，

xiàn zài | wǒ | cháng shì | suǒ yǒu | bō kè | nèi róng | dōu | yòng | quán | zhōng wén | le，

Now I'm trying to use full Chinese for all podcast content.

这个想法在我之前的节目中有提到，

zhè | ge | xiǎng fǎ | zài | wǒ | zhī qián | de | jié mù | zhōng | yǒu | tí | dào，

This idea was mentioned in my previous episodes.

原因之一就是效率，

yuán yīn | zhī | yī | jiù | shì | xiào lǜ，

One of the reasons is efficiency.

当然还有其它一些原因，

dāng rán | hái | yǒu | qí tā | yī | xiē | yuán yīn，

Of course, there are also some other reasons.

每个节目内容都附有文稿，

měi | gè | jié mù | nèi róng | dōu | fù | yǒu | wén gǎo，

Every episode comes with a script.

包含了中文、拼音和英语。

bāo hán | le | zhōng wén | pīn yīn | hé | yīng yǔ。

Including Chinese, Pinyin and English.

好了，今天我们聊的是宜家，

hǎo | le | jīn tiān | wǒ men | liáo | de | shì | yí jiā，

Alright, today we're talking about IKEA.

来到2026年，

lái | dào | èr líng èr liù | nián，

As we enter 2026,

宜家中国宣布，要关停在中国的7家门店，

yí jiā | Zhōng guó | xuān bù | yào | guān tíng | zài | Zhōng guó | de | qī | jiā | mén diàn，

IKEA China announced that it will close 7 stores in China.

其中包括上海的曾经亚洲最大的宜家门店。

qí | zhōng | bāo kuò | Shàng hǎi | de | céng jīng | yà zhōu | zuì | dà | de | yí jiā | mén diàn。

Including the once largest IKEA store in Asia located in Shanghai.

宜家在中国的第一家店是在1998年在上海开业的，

yí jiā | zài | Zhōng guó | de | dì | yī | jiā | diàn | shì | zài | yī jiǔ jiǔ bā | nián | zài | Shàng hǎi | kāi yè | de，

IKEA's first store in China opened in Shanghai in 1998.

截至2025年11月，在中国一共开了37家店，

jié zhì | èr líng èr wǔ | nián | shí yī | yuè | zài | Zhōng guó | yī gòng | kāi | le | sān shí qī | jiā | diàn，

As of November 2025, it has opened a total of 37 stores in China.

我生活的成都有两家店。

wǒ | shēng huó | de | Chéng dū | yǒu | liǎng | jiā | diàn。

There are two stores in Chengdu, where I live.

宜家给我们带来了一种新的生活方式，

yí jiā | gěi | wǒ men | dài lái | le | yī | zhǒng | xīn | de | shēng huó | fāng shì，

IKEA has brought us a new lifestyle.

和新的家居购物方式，

hé | xīn | de | jiā jū | gòu wù | fāng shì，

and a new way of shopping for home furnishings.

我们跟着它习惯了北欧风的简约家居，

wǒ men | gēn zhe | tā | xí guàn | le | běi ōu | fēng | de | jiǎn yuē | jiā jū，

We have gotten used to Nordic-style minimalist home furnishings because of it.

我们时不时去那里逛逛，买点好东西，

wǒ men | shí | bù | shí | qù | nà lǐ | guàng guang | mǎi | diǎn | hǎo | dōng xi，

We go there from time to time to browse and buy some nice things.

然后在那里的餐厅吃点又贵又不好吃的餐食。

rán hòu | zài | nà lǐ | de | cān tīng | chī | diǎn | yòu | guì | yòu | bù | hǎo | chī | de | cān shí。

Then we have some overpriced and not very tasty meals at its in-store restaurant.

据称，自2019年，宜家中国就开始走下坡路了，

jù | chēng | zì | èr líng yī jiǔ | nián | yí jiā | Zhōng guó | jiù | kāi shǐ | zǒu | xià pō | lù | le，

It is said that IKEA China has been on the decline since 2019.

到2024年，营收缩水约三分之一，

dào | èr líng èr sì | nián | yíng shōu | suō shuǐ | yuē | sān | fēn | zhī | yī，

By 2024, its revenue had shrunk by about one-third.

所以它现在开始关闭一些门店了。

suǒ yǐ | tā | xiàn zài | kāi shǐ | guān bì | yī | xiē | mén diàn | le。

That's why it's now starting to close some stores.

因为我马上要搬到新家了嘛，

yīn wèi | wǒ | mǎ shàng | yào | bān | dào | xīn | jiā | le | ma，

Because I'm going to move to a new home soon.

所以我近期还去了几次宜家，

suǒ yǐ | wǒ | jìn qī | hái | qù | le | jǐ | cì | yí jiā，

I've been to IKEA a few times recently.

也不远，就几公里，

yě | bù | yuǎn | jiù | jǐ | gōng lǐ，

It's not far, just a few kilometers away.

给我的感觉就是，它还是那样，

gěi | wǒ | de | gǎn jué | jiù | shì | tā | hái | shì | nà | yàng，

My impression is that it's still the same as before.

这是它的优点，它保持了风格，

zhè | shì | tā | de | yōu diǎn | tā | bǎo chí | le | fēng gé，

That's its advantage—it has maintained its style.

但是，它的劣势也是：它还是那样。

dàn | shì | tā | de | liè shì | yě | shì | tā | hái | shì | nà | yàng。

But that's also its disadvantage—it's still the same as before.
