If you're heading for your nearest branch of Waterstones, the biggest book retailer in the UK, in search of the Duchess of Sussex's new children's book The Bench, you might have to be prepared to hunt around a bit; the same may be true of The President's Daughter, the new thriller by Bill Clinton and James Patterson.
如果你正前往英国最大的图书零售商沃特尔斯通斯（Waterstones）最近的门店，寻找苏塞克斯公爵夫人新出版的儿童读物《The Bench》，你可能需要多找找；同样地，寻找比尔·克林顿和詹姆斯·帕特森合著的新惊悚小说《The President's Daughter》也可能如此。
Both of these books are published next week by Penguin Random House (PRH), a company currently involved in a stand-off with Waterstones.
这两本书将于下周由企鹅兰登书屋（Penguin Random House，简称PRH）出版，而这家公司目前正与沃特尔斯通斯处于僵持状态。
The problem began late last year, when PRH confirmed that it had introduced a credit limit with Waterstones "at a very significant level".
问题始于去年年底，当时PRH确认它已与沃特尔斯通斯"在非常显著的水平上"引入了信用额度限制。
The trade magazine The Bookseller reported that Waterstones branch managers were being told to remove PRH books from prominent areas such as tables, display spaces and windows, and were "quietly retiring them to their relevant sections".
贸易杂志《The Bookseller》报道称，沃特尔斯通斯的门店经理被指示将PRH的书籍从显眼的位置如桌子、展示区和橱窗中移除，并被要求"悄悄地将它们归还到相应的书架区域"。
PRH declined to comment on the issue, but a spokesperson for Waterstones told me: "Waterstones are currently operating with reduced credit terms from PRH, the only publisher in the UK to place any limitations on our ability to trade.
PRH拒绝就此事发表评论，但沃特尔斯通斯的一位发言人告诉我："沃特尔斯通斯目前从PRH获得的信用条款有所减少，而PRH是英国唯一一家对我们交易能力施加限制的出版商。"
