Sony is in talks to sell its troubled personal computer business and Thursday lowered its earnings forecast for the business year ending March to a 110 billion yen loss ($1.08 billion).
索尼公司將出售債務(wù)累累的個人電腦業(yè)務(wù)，并且于周四宣布2013財年（2013年4月1日- 2014年3月31日）預(yù)計將出現(xiàn)1100億日元(約10.8億美元)的虧損。

The company also said it's cutting its global workforce by about 3 percent or 5,000 people by the end of March 2015 as it restructures its PC, television and other businesses. Some 3,500 of the job losses will be overseas and 1,500 in Japan.
鑒于個人電腦業(yè)務(wù)、電視業(yè)務(wù)和其他業(yè)務(wù)的重組，索尼公司還宣布將在全球裁員5000人，計劃于2015年3月前完成。在計劃裁員的5000人中，3500人為海外員工，1500人為日本員工。

Sony Chief Executive Kazuo Hirai told reporters the company's electronics business was gradually improving, but restructuring costs would send the company into losses for the fiscal year.
索尼首席執(zhí)行官平井一夫表示，公司的電子業(yè)務(wù)正在改善，但是業(yè)務(wù)的重組仍然會讓公司有所虧損。

"We are beginning to see the path to a turnaround in our TV business," Hirai said. "TV remains an important category for Sony."
平井一夫說，“我們已經(jīng)看到電視業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展正在向好，電視業(yè)務(wù)仍然是索尼很重要的組成部分。”
