近日,中通公司表示随着海外业务的发展,正在考虑建立自己的货运机队。
我们来看一段相关的英文报道
ZTO Express (Cayman) Inc is considering options such as building its own cargo fleetor purchasing a stake in an existing carrier, as it expands operations overseas.
The Shanghai-based company, whose shares started trading in New York in October, had been debating the need to buy aircraft or charter flights for five years but couldn't justify the cost.
Alibaba, which uses ZTO to fulfill orders, accounted for 75 percent of the delivery company's parcel volume in the first half of this year. Volume rose about 51 percent year-on-year to 1.1 billion parcels in the third quarter of this year, driving revenue to 2.35 billion yuan ($338 million).
随着海外业务的拓展,中通快递股份有限公司正在考虑建立自己的货运机队或购买航空股权。
这家位于上海的公司十月份在纽约证券交易所上市。此前,他们讨论购买飞机或租赁飞机的事宜已经有五年之久,但均因价格不合适而搁浅。
阿里巴巴的订单需要通过中通快递公司来完成。今年上半年阿里公司的快递量就占中通快递包裹的75%。第三季度这一数量同比上升了51%,增长到11亿,带动收入上升到23.5亿元(约合3.38亿美元)。

【讲解】
文中的cargo fleet就是“货运机队”的意思,其中cargo用作名词,表示“货物;船货”,常见的词汇搭配如:unload the cargo(卸货)、treasure cargo(贵重货物)、cargo ship(货轮)。
第三段中的year-on-year用作形容词,表示“与上年同期数字相比的”,如:In January, the airport handled 5.2 million passengers, registering year-on-year growth of 1.8%.(一月份机场接待了520万的旅客,同比增长了1.8%。)
