在曼联官方周一公布的年度财报中，施魏因斯泰格被当成球队的“财务减值”来计算了。穆里尼奥成为红魔主帅后，随即将施魏因斯泰格下放至预备队，并明确告知其不再有出场机会。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Manchester United has written off Bastian Schweinsteiger as an “exceptional” multi-million pound item in its latest published accounts now that the Germany international has been sidelined by manager Jose Mourinho.

    The 32-year-old joined the United from Bayern Munich before the start of last season when former manager Louis van Gaal was still in charge at Old Trafford.

    报道中的write off就是“财务减值”，指将亏损或费用支出从收入中减掉。例如：

    The uncollectible debt is considered a loss your accountant can write off on your tax return.

    收不回的坏账可以让你的会计在报税时作财务减值处理。
