商務英語情景口語:匯率波動的結果
F: Have you followed the value of dollar lately?
M: How could I help but follow it? The fluctuation of dollar is killing my company! The exchange rates are eating into our profits, and we can't do anything about it.
F: It's really frustrating, isn't it? I have the same problem. I would feel a lot better if the currency was a little more stable. With the way the dollar plummeting lately, my securities have gone up in smoke.
M: Every day I have less money! I haven't spent anything, it is just melting away because of the shifts in exchange rate.
F: What we really should be making investment in is the Euro. I've followed the Euro's progress over the last quarter, I think it's about time to buy in.
M: What about the Yen?
F: Are you kidding? The Yen is in worse shape than the Dollar!
最近你注意美元的價格了嗎?
我怎麼能不關心呢?美元的價格波動快要把我們的公司搞垮了!匯率變化耗掉了我們的利潤,而且我們對此毫無辦法.
這事真讓人灰心喪氣,是不是?我也遇到了同樣的問題.我覺得如果貨幣再稍微穩定些,情況可能會更好些.由於最近美元暴跌,我的有價證券已經化爲灰燼.
我的錢一天天變少!我一分錢還沒花,這些錢因爲匯率變化而逐漸化爲零.
我們真的應該把錢投在歐元上.上一季度我注意過歐元的變化,我認爲現在該買進了.
日元怎麼樣?
你開玩笑吧?日元比美元的情況還糟糕!
