1. "Of course, there is no guarantee that we can obtain our float in the future at no cost."
- 这是一个复合句,主句是"There is no guarantee"(无法保证),表达了不确定性。从句是"that we can obtain our float in the future at no cost",意思是免费获得浮存金。
2. "But we feel our chances of attaining that goal are as good as those of anyone in the insurance business."
- "But"表示转折,表达对比关系。"We feel"表达了主观感受或观点。"Our chances of attaining that goal"表示实现目标的机会。"As good as those of anyone in the insurance business"表示和保险业中的任何人一样好。
3. "Not only have we reached the goal in the past (despite a number of important mistakes by your Chairman), our 1996 acquisition of GEICO materially improved our prospects for getting there in the future."
- "Not only"和"but also"是强调结构,用于强调前面提到的两个事实。"Have we reached the goal in the past"表示过去达成目标,使用了现在完成时态。括号中的部分"despite a number of important mistakes by your Chairman"是插入语,用于说明在过去实现目标时董事长犯了一些重要错误。"Our 1996 acquisition of GEICO materially improved our prospects for getting there in the future"表示我们在1996年收购GEICO后,实质性地改善了未来实现目标的前景。
4. "Since 2011, we expect additional borrowings to be concentrated in our utilities and railroad businesses, loans that are non-recourse to Berkshire."
- "Since 2011"表示自2011年以来,指的是一个时间段。"We expect"表示我们预计。"Additional borrowings"表示额外的借款。"To be concentrated in"表示集中在。"Our utilities and railroad businesses"表示我们的公用事业和铁路业务。"Loans that are non-recourse to Berkshire"表示对伯克希尔来说不追索的贷款。
5. "Here, we will favor long-term, fixed-rate loans."
- 这是一个简单句。"Here"表示在这种情况下。"We will favor"表示我们会偏爱或倾向于选择。"Long-term, fixed-rate loans"表示长期固定利率贷款。
当然,无法保证我们将来能够无成本地获得我们的浮动资金。但是,我们认为我们实现这个目标的机会和保险业中的任何人一样好。不仅我们在过去已经达到过这个目标(尽管贵公司董事长犯了一些重要错误),我们在1996年收购GEICO后,实质性地改善了我们未来实现这一目标的前景。自2011年以来,我们预计额外的借款将集中在我们的公用事业和铁路业务中,这些贷款对伯克希尔来说是无追索权的。在这里,我们将更倾向于选择长期固定利率贷款。查看图片
