F: Have you followed the value of dollar lately?
M: How could I help but follow it? The fluctuation of dollar is killing my company! The exchange rates are eating into our profits, and we can't do anything about it.
F: It's really frustrating, isn't it? I have the same problem. I would feel a lot better if the currency was a little more stable. With the way the dollar plummeting lately, my securities have gone up in smoke.
M: Every day I have less money! I haven't spent anything, it is just melting away because of the shifts in exchange rate.
F: What we really should be making investment in is the Euro. I've followed the Euro's progress over the last quarter, I think it's about time to buy in.
M: What about the Yen?
F: Are you kidding? The Yen is in worse shape than the Dollar!
最近你注意美元的价格了吗?
我怎么能不关心呢?美元的价格波动快要把我们的公司搞垮了!汇率变化耗掉了我们的利润,而且我们对此毫无办法.
这事真让人灰心丧气,是不是?我也遇到了同样的问题.我觉得如果货币再稍微稳定些,情况可能会更好些.由于最近美元暴跌,我的有价证券已经化为灰烬.
我的钱一天天变少!我一分钱还没花,这些钱因为汇率变化而逐渐化为零.
我们真的应该把钱投在欧元上.上一季度我注意过欧元的变化,我认为现在该买进了.
日元怎么样?
你开玩笑吧?日元比美元的情况还糟糕!
