BBC新闻 – 三星电子公布四季度盈利预期取得50%的大幅增长，尽管它的旗舰产品Note 7手机惨败。盈利预期高于分析师预计，标志着三星自2013年以来的最高季度盈利。
BBC News – Samsung Electronics has reported a 50% profit surge in its guidance for the fourth quarter despite the fiasco with its flagship Note 7 phone. The earnings estimate is higher than analysts predicted and would mark its highest quarterly profit since 2013.?
强劲的业绩归功于三星的半导体和显示器业务。这家韩国科技巨头说，预计第四季度录得9.2万亿韩元（合78亿美元）营业利润。此前的四季度盈利预估中，三星说，预计Note 7召回意味着会对其盈利造成21亿美元的打击。
The strong results are due to Samsung's semiconductor and display businesses. The South Korean tech giant said it expected to post 9.2tn won ($7.8bn) in operating profit for the months from September to December. In an earlier profit forecast for the fourth quarter, Samsung had said it expected the Note 7 recall would mean a $2.1bn hit to their profits.
三星9月份因电池爆炸的投诉首次宣布召回Galaxy Note 7。 被认为安全的替换手机也被发现会过热和着火后，公司就彻底废弃了这款手机。
The company first issued a recall for the Galaxy Note 7 in September following complaints about exploding batteries. After replacement devices deemed safe were also found to overheat and catch fire, the company scrapped the phone entirely.
“当你看过去几个月的头条新闻时，总是在说三星电池爆炸，厄运当头的事。”国际数据公司的技术顾问布赖恩.马说。
"When you look at the headlines over the last couple of months it's always been about exploding batteries and doom for Samsung," Bryan Ma, technology consultant with IDC said.
“但我们得记着，那并不是他们唯一的业务 – 真正推动盈利的是对存储器和显示器的强劲需求。这些业务真的真的很赚钱。”
"But we've got to keep in mind that that's not their only business - what's really driving these earnings is strong demand for memory and displays. And they are really, really profitable businesses."
三星说，将“很快”公布对Note 7起火问题原因的调查详情。公司将在一月末披露详细上季度财报，这将让人们对其各个业务的表现有更多深入了解。
Samsung said that it will "very soon" share details of its inquiry into the cause of the Note 7 problems. The company will disclose a detailed earnings release for the quarter in late January which will give more insights into the performance of its individual businesses.
