福特考虑抵押汽车制造厂英语美文
福特汽车(Ford Motor)正考虑以其汽车制造厂作抵押，向银行借贷。这是这家境况不佳的底特律汽车制造商在遭遇巨额亏损的情况下，充实现金储备的举措之一。
Ford Motor is considering offering its car plants as security to lenders as part of a drive by the troubled Detroit-based carmaker to bolster cash reserves in the face of massive losses.
福特首席执行官艾伦?穆拉利(Alan Mulally)昨日表示：“显然，流动性是我们优先考虑的问题。”福特此前发布的业绩报告称，第三季度的亏损额为58亿美元，这使得该公司今年的亏损额累计达到72亿美元。与此同时，该公司警告称，第四季度的运营亏损可能使全年亏损总额逼近85亿美元。
“Clearly, liquidity is a high priority for us”, Alan Mulally, chief executive, said yesterday after Ford reported a third quarter loss of $5.8bn. This brings Ford’s losses this year to $7.2bn and the company warned that operating losses for the fourth quarter were likely to take the total for the year close to $8.5bn.
第三季度亏损包括16亿美元的税前减损支出，涉及陷入困境的英国捷豹(Jaguar)和路虎(Land Rover)品牌。穆拉利表示，他仍在评估是否应该卖掉这两个品牌。此外，福特北美业务也计入了22亿美元注销支出。
The latest loss includes a $1.6bn pre-tax impairment charge for the troubled UK-based Jaguar and Land Rover brands. Mr Mulally said he was still reviewing whether the two marques should be sold. A similar writedown of $2.2bn has been applied to North American operations.
“这些业绩结果让人无法接受，”穆拉利表示。“我们承诺，将果断地顺应根本的业务现实，即客户需求正在转向尺寸较小、效率更高的车型。”穆拉利上个月离开波音(Boeing)，加盟福特汽车。
“These results are unacceptable”, said Mr Mulally, who joined Ford last month after a career at Boeing. “We are committed to dealing decisively with the fundamental business reality that customer demand is shifting to smaller, more efficient vehicles.”
福特还透露，将重新发布2001年至今年第二季度的业绩报告，以修正一些对冲交易的会计数据。这些修正没有反映在昨日宣布的业绩之中。
Ford also disclosed it would restate results from 2001 to the second quarter of this year to correct accounting for certain hedging transactions. These corrections are not reflected in the results announced yesterday.
穆拉利表示，福特计划“进行积极重组，通过降低产量实现盈利运营，同时加速开发客户真正想要的高效率新车型。”
Mr Mulally said Ford planned “to restructure aggressively to operate profitably at lower volumes and to accelerate the development of new, more efficient vehicles customers really want”.
福特汽车第三季度的持续经营项目亏损为12亿美元，合每股亏损62美分;上年同期的亏损额为1.91亿美元，合每股亏损10美分。福特警告称，第四季度的运营亏损可能更高。
The loss from continuing operations was $1.2bn, or 62 cents a share, up from $191m, or 10 cents, in the third quarter of 2005. Ford warned that the fourth quarter operating loss was likely to be higher.
福特首席财务官唐?勒克莱尔(Don Leclair)表示，随着福特业务重组工作的进行，未来数年可能进一步出现大量现金流出的情况。
Don Leclair, chief financial officer, said further large cash outflows were likely over the next few years as Ford restructured operations.
