一、日本汽车业陷于低潮日本目前除丰田汽车公司外其它的汽车制造公司都出现了赤字。日本最早的尼桑汽车公司日前也亮起了红灯,7%的员工为此必须被削减。这个削减百分比意味着将去掉4000个工作岗位,其中流水线上的生产工作岗位占3/4。尼桑汽车公司的坏消息是日本汽车行业中典型的例子。其它几家日本汽车公司年内只能靠过去几年的利润苦苦支撑。 First, the Japanese auto industry at a low ebb Japan, Toyota Motor Corp now other than the automobile manufacturing companies have suffered a deficit. Japan’s first Nissan Motor Co. has also lit a red light, 7% of employees have to be cut to this end. This percentage reduction means that 4,000 jobs will be removed, of which about three-quarters of production jobs are on the assembly line. The bad news for Nissan Motor Co. is a typical example of the Japanese auto industry. Several other Japanese auto companies have been hard-pressed over the past few years to make profits during the year.
