DIALOG 32

DISCUSSING THE ECONOMY

1--The economic news doesn't look good, does it?

2--Not according to the newspaper yesterday. I saw

a similar report last night on TV.

1--I saw that, too. The analysis seemed to be quite

realistic.

2--I hope they're wrong. We really need to get the

rising price structure under control.

1--Well, costs seem to be rising in so many categories

that it appears to defeat any efforts at stabilization.

2--That's my feeling, too. Raw material now costs

more. Labor is demanding higher wages and production

costs continue to soar.

1--There may be some relief this summer. I understand

the price of some foodstuffs will decrease.

6)categories：種類，范疇。

7)defeat any efforts:是一切努力歸于失敗;(使)前功盡棄

8)stabilization：穩(wěn)定;安定，動(dòng)詞是stabilize,形容詞是stable.

譯文：

1--經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)看起來(lái)不妙，是吧?

2--據(jù)昨天的報(bào)紙看是不怎么妙。昨晚我在電視里看到了

類似的報(bào)道。

1--我也看了。那個(gè)分析。

2--我但愿他們是錯(cuò)的。我們確實(shí)需要控制物價(jià)上漲。

1--哦，各行各業(yè)的費(fèi)用都在上漲，看來(lái)保持穩(wěn)定的一切

努力都難以取得成效。

2--我也有同感。原材料貴了。工人要求增加工資，生產(chǎn)成本猛漲。

1--今年夏天也許會(huì)有所緩解。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)有些食品的價(jià)格會(huì)下跌。
