[F] For example, wholesale food and drink sales come to $268 billion in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom in 2000-more than 40 percent of retail sales. Moreover, average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail; wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often; and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate.(2010,英语一)
Margin常见意思为“页边的空白,边缘”,本句margin 上下文语境,涉及零售销售量食品和饮料的批发业务,涉及经济领域,而且文章无论是已知信息还是未知信息,都与经济相关。如果margin 理解为“页边的空白”,显然不符上下文语境,本句margin 熟词生义为“利润”更符合语境。本句意为“并且,批发平均利润率高于零售平均利润率。”
为更好地理解margin 的用法,margin 在2008年英语一新题型中,未知选项A中,也考察过它的常见用法。
