Ford will soon introduce an update of its Taurus sedan, as well as some new small cars. A new line of fuel-efficient engines will also be available.
福特公司很快將推出其最新的金牛座汽車，還有一系列的新款小型車。這些新款車全都配有一系列的新開發(fā)省油經(jīng)濟(jì)型引擎。

Ford’s chief financial officer, Lewis Booth, said there was no chance that management would loosen the purse strings on its $21 billion in cash reserves. “We are all paranoid about cash,” he said.
福特公司的財(cái)務(wù)總監(jiān)劉易斯.布斯聲稱公司在汽車業(yè)務(wù)擁有210億美元的現(xiàn)金總額，管理就更加不能松懈，“我們對現(xiàn)金都比較偏執(zhí)?！彼f。

During the second quarter, Ford completed a series of actions that reduced its debt by $10.1 billion, and also raised $1.6 billion by issuing new stock. Mr. Booth declined to say whether more moves were in the works to further cut its debt, which now stands at about $26 billion.
在第二季度，福特通過采取一系列的舉措將債務(wù)削減了101億美元，還通過發(fā)行新股籌集了16億美元。布斯先生聲稱還會(huì)繼續(xù)采取措施來削減如今260億美元的總負(fù)債。

A crucial factor in Ford’s prospects will be how the overall vehicle market recovers.
決定福特公司發(fā)展前景的一個(gè)決定性因素是如何復(fù)蘇整體的汽車市場。

Sales of new cars and trucks have fallen this year to their lowest levels since the early 1980s. In the first half of 2009, the trend in sales has been below a 10 million annual pace.
自20世紀(jì)80年代初以來，今年福特的新型轎車和卡車的銷量陷入了最低谷。在今年上半年，銷量一直低于1億輛。

Mr. Mulally said Thursday that he believed that the market had bottomed out. Ford is now forecasting that 2009 sales will rise to an annual pace of 10.5 million to 11 million vehicles.
穆拉利總裁在周四發(fā)表聲明說他相信汽車市場已經(jīng)在復(fù)蘇了。福特預(yù)測汽車銷量在1050萬至1100萬輛之間。

“Ford is going to be all right, unless the market somehow gets worse,” Mr. Wolkonowicz said. “If that happens, they’ve got a problem.”
Wolkonowicz 先生說：“除非市場在某種程度上會(huì)突然惡化，否則福特將會(huì)一如既往的發(fā)展下去。當(dāng)然，如果市場發(fā)生惡化，他們就會(huì)面臨困難了?！?/p>

Wall Street continued its support of Mr. Mulally’s strategies by bidding Ford’s shares up 9.4 percent on Thursday to a close of $6.98. The company’s shares have nearly tripled in value since early this year, when it became clear that Ford would not ask for government loans.
華爾街也一直支持穆拉利總裁不接受政府紓困策略，福特股價(jià)在本周四美國市場的交易中曾一度大漲9.4%。，在收盤時(shí)達(dá)到每股盈利6.98美金。從年初福特明確表示拒絕接受政府紓困依賴，該公司的股票價(jià)值幾乎翻了三倍。
