“营业成本”常见的英语表达是 “operating costs” 或 “cost of operations”,在财务专业语境中,“operating expenses” 也可表示类似概念,不过严格来说,“operating expenses” 更侧重于日常运营中的费用支出(如销售费用、管理费用等),而“营业成本”通常指企业为生产产品、提供劳务等发生的可归属于产品成本、劳务成本等的费用,在涵盖范围上“operating costs” 或 “cost of operations” 与“营业成本”更为契合。
示例:
The company's operating costs increased significantly last quarter. (该公司上季度的营业成本大幅增加。)
We need to carefully analyze the cost of operations to improve profitability. (我们需要仔细分析营业成本以提高盈利能力。)
