引語：這是【YY 一讀】的第二期，回顧上周，我們一起關注了核安全峰會，核安全峰會還是蠻火的話題，上周還看到Roy提供了相關的精聽，大家可以去看看。另外，還有金磚四國（BRIC）峰會，大家也可以去閱讀閱讀，關注時事，對于大家的英語水平的提高，以及

本周我們一起關注下經濟，關注一下蘋果公司，話不多說，大家看看文章先：

Apple soars with 90% increase in profits

iPhone sales and related revenue gained 124 percent to $5.4 billion for Apple, easily exceeding the $3.8 billion in revenue from desktop and portable computers.

1:soar這個單詞原指（雄鷹）翱翔、高飛，后來引申為劇增、高聳。

例句1：Set the bird's wings with gold and it will never again soar in the sky.鳥翼上系上了黃金，這鳥便永不能再在天上翱翔了（出自泰戈爾）。

例句2：The truth is, we are all born with potential greatness and blessed with numerous opportunities to soar to dizzying new heights.事實上，我們所有人來來都擁有巨大的潛力，享有無數的機會，可以達到令人眩暈的新高度。

2：revenue表示稅收、國家的收入、收益。

例句：A string of military rulers saw oil revenue as a source of patronage and a reward for winning office.一批又一批的軍事統治者們發現石油收入是恩惠的來源和贏得官職的獎賞。

這個詞在外刊中常見，中高口閱讀里也不難見到，所以除了知道本身的意思外，我們還需要了解下這個詞相關短語或者詞組：

revenue above the line（國家）預算內收入

revenue account進賬

revenue distribution收益分配

revenue and expenditure in balance財政收支平衡

與收支平衡相關的又有（記住一兩個常用的就可以。）：

balance expenditure with income

balance of income and outlay

balance receipts and payments  

3：exceed譯為（在數量或質量上）超過，占優勢，它可以和不同的介詞連用，如exceed by表超出(某數量、程度或范圍)，

例句：The Bush administration says federal expenditures will ascend exceed revenues by $ 398 billion this year and by a record high $ 482 billion in fiscal year 2009.布什政府說，今年的聯邦支出將會超過收入3980億美元，并有望在財政年度2009年達到4820億美元的歷史新高。

再如exceed in表示（在某方面）超過，

例句：If a variety were to flourish so as to exceed in numbers the parent species, it would then rank as the species.如果一個變種的繁殖，超過它的親種數量，它就會被列為物種。

和它形似的一個詞excessive強調過多的、極度的、過分的，比如超速，我們用excessive speed來表達，“超前消費”可以表示為excessive consumption（當然，也可以理解為過度消費），酗酒excessive drinking，超支excessive expenditure。

Apr 21, (FT) -- Apple on Tuesday reported a 90 per cent increase in second-quarter profit, far surpassing bullish Wall Street estimates with a 49 per cent increase in revenue.

1: bullish這個詞相對而言比較常見，原指公牛(般)的；牛脾氣的；強壯如牛的（當然也表示固執的，頑愚的，愚笨的），在經濟領域，這個詞引申為“看漲的、上揚的、有希望的”。

例句1：This bullish sentiment has been reflected in recent rise in the product futures markets in the USA and Europe.這一看漲情緒已經體現在美國和歐洲的成品油期貨市場的價格上漲上。

例句2：Despite that disappointment, Raikkonen is bullish about his prospects for the race.盡管有些失望，但是冰同學還是對比賽的前景充滿了信心。

The consumer computer products group had been expected to record earnings per share of $2.46 on sales of about $12bn; instead, it reported $3.33 a share, or $3.1bn in total, on sales of $13.5bn in the three months to March 27. Stock in Apple rose more than 5 per cent in after-market trading.

1：earnings per share表示每股收益

2：stock in…這個用法也可以關注，平時我們總說stock of…

Steve Jobs, chief executive, said the new iPad computer had been well received since going on sale on April 3 and promised "several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year". Analysts expect a new version of the iPhone to be released as early as June.

1：go on sale表示上市、發布，與release在此段中意思相近。需要注意的是，be on sale可表示賤賣、拋售，與for sale意義相近；

2：in the pipeline表示(貨物)在運輸中，即將遞送，也能表示“在準備(或進行、建造、完成)中；待考慮，待處理

例句：The company announced that it has an online music store in the pipeline.該公司宣布正在籌備一個線上音樂小鋪。

Apple's desktop computer sales rose 40 per cent on a volume basis from the second quarter a year ago, while portable MacBook computers gained 28 per cent.

1：volume是一個很好用的詞，它不僅可以做名詞，還能做形容詞和動詞，意思大致為音量、體積、卷、大量的，成交量等；the sacred volume(基督教)圣經。

The biggest surprise was the iPhone. Shipments more than doubled, thanks in part to the addition of new carriers, such as Vodafone in the UK. However, iPod units slipped 1 per cent.

1：slip與上文的soar相反，原意為“打滑”，引申為“下降”

With an average $600 selling price, iPhone sales and related revenue gained 124 per cent to $5.4bn, easily exceeding the $3.8bn in revenue from desktop and portable computers. The iPhone did especially well in Europe and Asia, where sales rose 400 per cent.

1：我知道大家都知道這個短語：do well in，表示“做得好”，這里提醒下大家關注老外對副詞的使用。比如I am terribly sorry等等。

Apple for the first time broke out how much business it did in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, saying the revenue in the three markets had more than tripled in a year to $1.3bn for the quarter. The company plans to open two Shanghai stores this summer and have 25 locations in China by the end of 2011.

Peter Oppenheimer, chief financial officer, warned that margins would fall in the present quarter, in part because of iPad launch costs. He forecast revenue of between $13bn and $13.4bn, up from $9.7bn in the same period of 2009. Analysts suggested that the guidance was on the conservative side.
