More than two centuries after the first Rothschild made his fortune in European banking, two branches of the dynasty are set to do battle in the French courts — over the family name.
两个多世纪前，第一个罗斯柴尔德(Rothschild)在欧洲银行业发迹。两百多年后的今天，罗斯柴尔德王朝的两个分支准备在法国的法庭上争夺家族姓氏。
Edmond de Rothschild Group, a Franco-Swiss private bank and asset manager, is about to issue a cease-and-desist order to the French financial adviser Rothschild & Cie, insiders have disclosed.
据内部人士透露，法国-瑞士私人银行和资产管理公司爱德蒙德罗斯柴尔德（Edmond de Rothschild，又称爱德蒙德洛希尔）集团即将向法国财务顾问公司Rothschild & Cie发出禁止令。

The Swiss-based group says the parent company of the French business unfairly refers to itself as “parent of the Rothschild group” — implying that they have sole claim to the banking dynasty name.
总部位于瑞士的爱德蒙德罗斯柴尔德集团表示，这家法国公司的母公司不诚实地称自己为“罗斯柴尔德集团的母公司”，暗示只有他们才有资格拥有这个银行业王朝的名字。
“No entity has the right to lay sole claim to the Rothschild name,” said a person close to Edmond de Rothschild Group.
接近爱德蒙德罗斯柴尔德集团的一名人士说：“任何实体都无权宣称只有自己才有资格拥有罗斯柴尔德这一姓氏。”
Rothschild & Cie’s parent company, Paris-Orléans, declined to comment but a person familiar with the situation said it had not received any documents relating to the case and remained “extremely relaxed” about any challenge.
Rothschild & Cie的母公司Paris-Orléans拒绝置评，但一名知情人士透露，该公司尚未收到本案的任何文件，并对任何挑战保持“非常放松”的态度。
News of the impending cease-and-desist order reflects an escalation of hostilities between two sides of the family, and represents one of the first acts of Ariane de Rothschild, who took over as chief executive of Edmond de Rothschild at the end of January.
禁止令即将出炉的消息，反映了罗斯柴尔德家族两个分支之间敌意的升级，也代表了阿里亚纳•德•罗斯柴尔德(Ariane de Rothschild)上任后的首批行动之一。阿里亚纳于今年1月底接任爱德蒙德罗斯柴尔德首席执行官。
Almost three years ago, Lord David de Rothschild brought together the French and British arms of the two centuries old banking dynasty, under the Paris Orléans parent group.
近三年前，大卫•德•罗斯柴尔德勋爵(Lord David de Rothschild)将这间有两百年历史的银行业王朝的法国与英国分支集合到一起，并入Paris Orléans母公司旗下。
This put Rothschild & Cie of France and NM Rothschild of the UK into a unified structure, ending years of cross-Channel rivalry between the pair.
此举将法国的Rothschild & Cie公司和英国的NM Rothschild纳入一个统一架构，结束了英吉利海峡两岸的这两家公司的多年角力。
But there remain offshoots of the Rothschild dynasty outside the unified group — the biggest of which is Edmond de Rothschild Group, which owns almost 8 per cent of Paris-Orléans.
但在这个统一的集团以外，还有一些罗斯柴尔德王朝的分支——其中最大的一支是爱德蒙德罗斯柴尔德集团，该集团拥有Paris-Orléans近8%的股份。
