据报道，美国思科公司8月10日发布了最新的财务报告，由于企业客户对其网络设备的需求在不断增长，在于7月31日结束的第四财季中，思科的季度收益比上个季度上涨了41%，净利润为14亿美元。第三财季，曾有投资者对思科的库存大幅增长表示不安。但思科高层在5月份表示这不是什么大问题。外电有这样的报道：The
firm's shares lost more than 5% during after-hours electronic trading in
New York. But chief executive John Chambers played down the concerns over
future prospects. "In the things we can control, I feel good," he said.
Play down表示“对……不太重视；降低重要性；贬低”例如：The doctor played down the serious nature
of the poor man's illness.（医生把这个可怜人的病情讲得轻些。）
