So take away an anchor store and the whole mall can suffer.

因此当一家主力商店被撤走，整个购物中心都将遭受重创。

Malls are vulnerable to systemic shocks; if an “anchor” stores closes, or if vacancies linger, other vendors quickly suffer.

购物中心容易遭受系统冲击带来的影响，如果某家“锚”店停业了，或者房屋持续空置，其余的商家也很快遭殃。

Macy's is an anchor store. A major retail location that brings in a lot of shoppers that in turn visit the smaller stores around it.

梅西百货是一家核心商店。这个大型零售场所会吸引大量购物者，这些购物者也会光顾周围的小商店。

Another anchor store JCPenney followed in 2014. Both JCPenney and Macy's will close dozen more stores in the U.S. this year, helping put around a quarter of America's 1,200 malls at risk, according to commercial real estate firm Costar.

另一家主力店 JCPenney 在 2014 年紧随其后。根据商业房地产公司 Costar 的数据，JCPenney 和梅西百货今年将在美国关闭十几家门店，使美国 1,200 家购物中心中的大约四分之一面临风险。
