Devalue

    贬值

    周二人民币大幅贬值也许还不足以提振国内的制造业，请看本报昨日的报道：

    China's decision to sharply devalue its currency Tuesday will not provide many benefits to the nation's sagging manufacturing sector, although weaker yuan can make China-made products cheaper in other markets.

    The move to lower the value of the yuan won quick applause from China's legions of exporters, many of whom have struggled this year.

    "The cut definitely helps exports," The Wall Street Journal quoted Yu Mingliang, director of business development at Zhejiang Lianda Forging & Press Co., a private manufacturer of mechanical parts and other goods in Wenzhou, as saying Tuesday. "We welcome any cut, no matter how much it is."

    报道中的devalue就是“贬低、贬值”的意思，也可以说devaluate，名词是devaluation。例如：

    One way to ease the pressure might be to devalue local currencies and boost exports.

    缓解压力的一个方式或许是让本国货币贬值以推动出口。
