　　上周，苹果(Apple)在亚利桑那州的一家关键组件制造商申请破产，导致苹果与供应商间的保密协议被拖进公众视野。

　　Details of Apple’s non-disclosure agreements, whichsuppliers are not allowed to acknowledge, haveemerged in court filings by GT AdvancedTechnologies, including the $50m penalty theiPhone maker imposes for any leak of productinformation.

　　苹果的保密协议细节(协议要求供应商不得供认这些细节)已出现在GT Advanced Technologies提交法院的文件中，这些细节包括，若产品信息有任何泄漏，苹果将对泄密方处以5000万美元罚款。

　　Ahead of a court hearing tomorrow, GT’s lawyers are arguing that even more information aboutits relationship with Apple should be published, in the interests of creditors and shareholders.

　　明天法院将举行庭审。GT的律师在开庭前主张，为债权人和股东的利益起见，应将GT与苹果关系的更多细节公之于众。

　　In filings last week, the manufacturer called its supplier agreement with Apple “oppressiveand burdensome”. That marked a sudden about-turn by the Nasdaq-listed company, which ayear ago was enthusing to shareholders how the partnership would transform it. Creditors andbondholders are together owed more than $500m by GT.

　　GT在上周提交给法院的文件中称，其与苹果达成的供应商协议是“压迫性的和苛刻的”。此事标志着这家纳斯达克(Nasdaq)上市公司的态度突然发生了180度的转变。一年前，该公司还在兴奋地向股东表示与苹果的合作关系会让公司发生多大的改观。GT现在欠债权人和债券持有人合计超过5亿美元。
