Shortfall: 不足、差額、赤字 [ 2004-07-19 01:00 ] 7月15日,IT業(yè)巨頭IBM公司公布了2004年第二季度的收益情況,報(bào)告顯示,由于硬件設(shè)備銷售狀況良好,IBM實(shí)現(xiàn)了季度收益的第六次持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)。外電有這樣的報(bào)道:IBM
on Thursday reported its sixth consecutive quarterly rise in profit, as strength
in computer hardware and services largely shielded it from the shortfalls that
hit other technology companies. Shortfall表示“不足、差額、赤字”的意思,例如:There will be a
shortfall in the wheat supplies this year.(今年的小麥供應(yīng)將不足。)短語(yǔ)trade
shortfall表示“貿(mào)易赤字”。
