定义
a supplier: 供应者
We are already satisfied with our current suppliers. 我们对现在的供应商很满意。
示例
- "We had been debating the pros and cons of exploiting inexpensive but possibly illegal labor, versus taking the "high road" and using only suppliers with a proven record on human rights working standards."
- "We expect the same from our suppliers and our clients."
- "However, it must be said that we are not about to cut our ties with our current suppliers to enable Delavigne and its subsidiaries to create a skin-care monopoly."
- "According to my research, your stores carry several lines from Occidanté and Kalvin Krime, even though both of these suppliers are known to have the highest prices and the least inventory turnover."
练习 1
What is a "supplier's" job?
What is a "supplier's" job?
Excerpt: We had been debating...using only suppliers with a proven record on human rights working standards.
This is not the best choice. A business that works to "prove that human rights standards are being met" would typically be an international institution dedicated to the specific task of monitoring international human rights standards. This type of company would not be called a "supplier".
The expression "to beg" for something means to plead or ask for something. Example: the homeless man on the metro was begging for food.
This is the best definition of the term "supplier". Most companies do business with "suppliers" of one kind or another, and many companies are themselves "suppliers". Example: Our company had serious problems when our "supplier" of raw materials went bankrupt.
This is not the best choice. A business that "negotiates after-sales contracts and agreements" would be a company that specializes in contract negotiations and settlement of agreement terms. This type of company would not be called a "supplier".
Excerpt: We had been debating...using only suppliers with a proven record on human rights working standards.

"subsidiaries": This is the best choice here. A "subsidiary" is any company in which more than 50 percent of the voting shares are owned by another company, which is called the "parent company".

A monopoly is characterized by an absence of competition.
