“批发市场”怎么说
[ 2006-12-08 15:48 ]
自12月11日起,中国将对外开放国内原油、成品油的批发经营权,一改中石油和中石化两大集团集中批发成品油的局面。从此,具备条件的企业都可以从事原油、成品油的批发经营,国内石油市场将逐步形成国有大型石油公司、跨国石油公司和社会经营单位共同参与的格局。
请看《中国日报》The oil productwholesale marketwill be open to domestic and foreign investors from next year, the Ministry of Commerce announced yesterday.
The wholesale business has long been monopolized by two State-owned conglomerates China Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec) and China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC). And the opening-up will bring in new entities including State-owned, multinational and private companies, which can invest in the sales of gasoline, diesel and kerosene to retailers.
报道中的“wholesale market”指“批发市场”。“Wholesale”在此做形容词,表示“批发的”,如:wholesale price(批发价)、whole dealer(批发商)、wholesale business(批发业务)。
此外,wholesale也可用做副词和动词,分别指“以批发价、大批(购买)”、“成批出售”,看几个例子:To buy goods wholesale(批量购进货物)、to send out Christmas cards wholesale(大量寄送圣诞卡)、These pencils wholesale at 15 Yuan per dozen.(这种铅笔批发售价每打15元。)
报道中所提到的“油”,“原油”常用“crude oil”来表示,而“成品油”则为“refined oil”。
