“营业支出”常见的英文表达是 "operating expenses" 或 "operating expenditures"。
Operating expenses 是最常用的表达,指企业在日常经营活动中发生的各项费用,如员工工资、租金、水电费、营销费用等。
Operating expenditures 含义相近,但“expenditures”更侧重于支出款项的动作或行为,不过在日常使用中,“operating expenses”更为普遍。
例如:
The company's operating expenses increased by 10% this quarter compared to the same period last year.(与去年同期相比,该公司本季度的营业支出增加了10%。)
We need to carefully control our operating expenses to improve profitability.(我们需要严格控制营业支出以提高盈利能力。)
