受疫情影响很多亚洲的制衣厂订单消失,很多工人因此失业了。请看本报昨日的报道: Zarchi Lwin pawned her only two gold bangles for US$140 when the owner of the Myanmar factory where she sewed winter coats for British retailer Next Plc. shut it down after orders dried up due to the coronavirus. She is one of hundreds of thousands of garment workers across Asia who have been laid off, according to the Workers Rights Consortium, and are now struggling to survive with little welfare support, mired in debt and in many cases reliant on food handouts. Next temporarily closed all its stores in Britain in March due to the coronavirus. The company said in a statement it had only cancelled some orders. 报道中的dry up本意指液体慢慢蒸发,引申为“枯竭、逐渐消失”。例如: The money for the grant dried up because of funding problems. 因为筹集资金困难,所以拨款渐渐停了。 |
