在商务英语中,return可作“盈利”、“收益”、“汇报”解,多数情况下用复数。
如:business return:营业收入;
small profits and quick returns:薄利多销;
l Companies seek higher returns by investing in other corporations.
各公司通过向其他股份公司投资谋求更高的利润。
returns在商务英语中还可作“退货”解。
l He began working on his salesman samples, sorting out broken packages and returns.
他开始整理他的那些推销货样,把包装破损的和退回来的捡出来。
不要把returns和 turnover混淆起来。Turnover指“营业额”、“成交量”,即在给定的时间期间成交的总额。
This deal promises big returns(赚大钱)for both sides. Let's hope it's the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship.
