A year after its blockbuster debut as a public company, Google Inc. said Thursday it plans to offer another 14.2 million shares, currently worth about $4 billion, as competition heats up with rivals Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
The Internet search leader said it will use theproceedsfor "general corporate purposes," including possible acquisitions. Google added that it currently has no agreements or commitments to make a material purchase.
文中的Proceeds means the amount of money received from a particular event or activity or when something is sold,表示"收益;收入"。如:The proceeds of today's festival will go to several local charities.(今天活動的收入將捐給當(dāng)?shù)氐膸准掖壬茩C構(gòu)。)
