English term

punished

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) Smartphone market
These disaffected Google partners may be looking more closely at Microsoft's Windows Phone 8, now that Nokia reported some impressive numbers (both of which included the numeral 4, oddly enough): The company sold 4.4 million Lumia Windows Phone devices and reported a year-over-year quarterly U.S. market revenue increase of 444%.
这些心怀不满的谷歌合作伙伴可能在更密切地关注微软的Windows Phone 8,这鉴于诺基亚发布了一些表现抢眼的数字:该公司出售了440万部Lumia Windows Phone设备,声称美国市场的季度收入同比猛增了444%。

Although the market punished Nokia's earnings, a careful analyst might notice that Nokia's Lumia line failed horribly in the so-called "emerging markets" of China and elsewhere, but succeeded in the U.S. and Europe. The company is making more money on far fewer handsets than before. In other words, Windows Phone 8 may be helping Nokia's economic situation become less like Google's (high volume, low margin) and more like Apple's (high margin, low volume).
虽然市场惩罚了诺基亚的盈利?

Although the market punished Nokia's earnings,我觉得这里的market 有可能指的是股市

虽然市场(竞争)使诺基亚利润下滑/盈利受阻

punished其实是一个引申义。

根据日常的诸多诺基亚新闻,主要是竞争太激烈,有三星,有苹果,还有HTC. 而诺基亚使用自己的独特系统,产品不太受欢迎,业绩一直下滑。貌似最近它也开始用windows还是Androd的系统了……所以在一些地区开始有好的业绩……
