(单词翻译:单击)

2004年7月15日,IT业巨头IBM公司公布了2004年第二季度的收益情况,报告显示,由于硬件设备销售状况良好,IBM实现了季度收益的第六次持续增长。

  外电有这样的报道:

  IBM on Thursday reported its sixth consecutive1 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、差额、赤字”的意思,例如:There will be a shortfall in the wheat supplies this year.(今年的小麦供应将不足。)短语trade shortfall表示“贸易赤字”。
