商务英语口语对话:汇率波动的结果  

F: Have you followed the value of dollar lately?
M: How could I help but follow it? The fluctuation of dollar is killing my pany! 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!
