哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，我突然想法起來(lái)了我學(xué)的是商務(wù)英語(yǔ)，那么它的內(nèi)容肯定都是商科相關(guān)的，難關(guān)我這么不擅長(zhǎng)。今天學(xué)習(xí)了經(jīng)典的“需求-供給”曲線，曲線應(yīng)該從縱坐標(biāo)的變化來(lái)分析。
Basic Concepts
基本概念
Supply and demand are basic concepts of economics. They are two forces that determine the price of the goods or services that we buy every day. Being familiar with them can help you better understand the economic world around you.
需求和供給是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中的基本概念。我們每天購(gòu)買的商品或者服務(wù)，是由這兩個(gè)因素決定的。熟悉它們，能幫助我們更好理解周圍的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)世界。
Trade: Trade is the exchange of goods or services between buyers and sellers. A buyer gives money to a seller in return for goods or services. The price of a good or service depends on the supply of the seller and the demand of the buyer.
交易：交易是買家和賣家之間商品或者服務(wù)的交換。買家把錢給賣家，獲得商品或者服務(wù)。所以商品或者服務(wù)的價(jià)格取決于賣家的供給和買家的需求。
Supply: Supply is the quantity of goods or services that sellers have and are willing to sell. In order for a buyer to purchase a good or service, it must be a supply of it.
供給：供給是賣家擁有并且愿意售賣的商品或者服務(wù)的數(shù)量。為了讓賣家購(gòu)買商品或者服務(wù)，就必須有供給。
Demand: Demand is the quantity of goods or services that buyers are willing and able to purchase. In order for a business to sell its products, there needs to be demand for them.
需求：需求是賣家愿意并且有能力購(gòu)買的商品或者服務(wù)的數(shù)量。為了讓商家賣出它們的產(chǎn)品，就必須有對(duì)商品的需求。
Market price: The market price is the price at which something is offered in a marketplace. If consumers think that the price of a product is too high, they will not want to buy it, so there will be little demand. If the price of a product is lower that consumers’ expectations, they will be sold out quickly at less profit.
市場(chǎng)價(jià)格：市場(chǎng)價(jià)格是某件商品在市場(chǎng)中提供的價(jià)格。如果消費(fèi)者認(rèn)為產(chǎn)品的價(jià)格太高，它們可能不會(huì)購(gòu)買，所以需求會(huì)很少。如果商品的價(jià)格比消費(fèi)者期待的要低，商品會(huì)短期內(nèi)以低利潤(rùn)告罄。
Surplus: A surplus occurs when the supply of a product is higher than the demand. If sellers have a surplus, they may lower their prices in order to sell more.
剩余：當(dāng)商品的供給大于需求時(shí)就會(huì)有剩余。如果賣家有剩余，它們可能會(huì)降價(jià)來(lái)增加銷量。
Shortage: A shortage occurs when there is not enough supply to meet the demand. During a shortage, sellers may choose to raise the prices in order to make more money.
短缺：當(dāng)沒(méi)有足夠的供給來(lái)滿足需求時(shí)，就會(huì)有短缺。短缺發(fā)生時(shí)，賣家會(huì)選擇提價(jià)來(lái)賺更多錢。
