Up for grabs:To describe something that is not yet claimed, and available to anyone who wants to compete for it. (待价而沽、可供获取)
例句:For the past decade, Chinese companies thought that they owned the domestic mass market, while ceding the premium segments to foreign imports. This is no longer the case. Within only one year after China’s entry into WTO, the Chinese mass market, which means the low- and mid-end cosumer and business markets, is up for grabs. { 例句出处:《慧眼看中国——米尔顿·科特勒营销文丛:P24》}
翻译:在过去的十年,中国公司认为他们控制了国内大众市场,所以毫不在乎地就将高端市场让给我外国进口商品,可是这样的好儿子已经不再有了。在加入WTO之后不到一年的时间里,中国的大众市场–中低端消费者市场以及产业市场,就面临着被鲸吞蚕食的严重危险。
