二.英译汉
1. If the products are “stock-out” (when customer’s order cannot be immediately filled from existing inventory), the customer might get them from other sources. 如果产品处于缺货状态(现有库存无法立即满足客户订货需求), 客户可能会从其他途径取得货物.
2. Cycle stock refers to inventory that is needed to satisfy normal demand during the course of an order cycle. If demand and lead time is constant, only cycle stock is necessary. 周转库存是指那些用于满足一个订货周期内正常需求的库存. 如果需求和提前期是不变的,那么只有周转库存是必需的. 3. Safety or buffer inventory referred to inventory that is held in addition to cycle stock to guard against uncertainty in demand and/or lead time. 安全(缓冲库存)是指周转库存之外的额外存货, 以应对需求和提前期的不稳定性. 4. This tactic is commonly used by retailers, who always build up inventory months before the demand for their products will be unusually high (i.e., at Halloween, Christmas) 零售商们常使用这种策略, 他们总是提前几个月就储备库存以应对产品需求量的提高 (如万圣节, 圣诞节).
5. Because dead inventory increases inventory carrying cost, reduces inventory turnover and takes up space in warehousing facility, companies should minimize the size of dead inventory. 因为呆滞库存会增加库存持有成本, 减慢库存周转, 并且占用仓储空间, 所以企业应该将呆滞库存减到最低. 6. More and more manufacturers are currently trying to merge---or better coordinate---the functions performed by these levels of packaging in order to reduce costs and facilitate good presentation. 现在越来越多的生产商正在尝试着将这几种包装的功能进行融合或协调整合, 以达到降低成本的同时使包
装外观更佳的目的.
7. Packaging can also provide supplementary product protection. This may be achieved by forms of cushioning such as shredded paper, foamed plastic or wrappings. 包装内填充的碎纸,泡沫塑料或包裹等缓冲物还可以为产品提供辅助的保护.
8. Warehouses and distribution centers would be less efficient if grouped and transport packages lacked labels of carried incomplete details. 如果运输包装上没有标签或标签的细节信息不完整,仓库和配送中心的工作效率就会影响. 9. The mark or label is the text preprinted on a product package or, in the case of items like clothing, attached to the product itself. 标志或标签是预印在产品包装上的文字,有时对于如服装这样的产品,标签也会直接贴于产品本身. 10. Shipping mark contains identification mark (e.g. initial letters of receiver of shipper, or of receiver’s company name); identification number (e.g. receiver’s order number); total number of items in the complete consignment; and also the place and port of destination. 运输标志包含了识别标志 (如收货方,托运方或收货方公司名的词首字母), 识别号码 (如收货方的订单号码), 托运商品的总数, 还有到货地点和港口等.
11. Every day, logistics managers sift through mountains of information, looking to answer questions concerning their operations. 物流经理每天从堆积如山的信息中进行筛选, 希望找出解决运作问题的答案.
12. Without reliable information support for logistics, firms could miss the chance to respond to market opportunities, become vulnerable to competitive threats, or struggle to simply provide good service. 没有可靠的物流信息系统, 企业可能会错过市场机会, 难以应对竞争威胁,即便仅仅提供优质服务也会举步维艰.
13. The ability to use and leverage information in a timely fashion has been associated with increased internal efficiencies, as well as better customer responsiveness,
increased
supplier-customer
integration,
enhanced
perceptions of logistics service quality, and improved customer satisfaction
and performance ratings. 一提到及时使用和操控信息的能力, 人们往往会联系到提高内效率, 以及迅速应对客户,整合供应商和客户, 加强物流服务质量意识, 提高客户满意度, 改善业绩.
14. Advanced technologies are used for capturing and communicating logistics-related data, such as bar-coding, electronic data interchange (EDI) and, more recently, radio frequency identification (RFID). 条形码, 电子数据交换, 以及最近出现的射频识别等先进技术被用来捕捉与物流有关的信息并用来进行物流信息交换.
15. Security is an important issue for companies using EDI. Data security is controlled throughout the process using passwords, encryption and user identification. 对于使用电子数据交换的公司来说, 安全是一个重要问题. 在整个数据交换过程中,数据的安全通过使用密码,加密技术和用户识别技术加以控制.
16. Originally bar-codes stored data in the widths and spacings of printed parallel lines, but today they also come in patterns of dots, concentric circles, and hidden in images. 最初, 条形码把数据储存在一组平行的, 由条和空组成的直线上,但现在条形码也以圆点, 同心圆形式出现, 有时甚至隐藏在图像里面.
17. Stacked bar-codes are a compromise between true 2Dbar-codes and linear codes, and are formed by taking a traditional linear symbology and placing it in an envelope that allows multiple rows. 堆积式条形码是真正二维条形码和一维条形码的折中, 通过把传统的一维符号置于允许多行重叠的包络上而形成.
18. Containerization is a system of intermodal cargo transport (a term that refers to more than one mode of transportation) using standard ISO (International Organization of Standardization) containers that can be loaded sealed and intact onto container ship, railroad cars and trucks. 集装箱化 (运输) 是一种采用多式联运的货物运输方式, 它使用ISO国际标准化组织规定的标准化集装箱, 以密封,完好的状态被装载上各式装箱货船,火车
