據(jù)商業(yè)部周三的報(bào)道，由于九月份歐元區(qū)債務(wù)危機(jī)引起的大規(guī)模削減，截止到十月，歐洲在中國(guó)的投資呈下降態(tài)

勢(shì)。

請(qǐng)看相關(guān)英文報(bào)道：

EU investment in China up to October dropped， due mainly to a massive cut in September caused by

the eurozone debt crisis， the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

【解析】

在上述報(bào)導(dǎo)中，“下降”用“drop”一詞來(lái)表達(dá)，而其他常用來(lái)表達(dá)“下降”之意的詞還有“fall”，“decline

”和“decrease”。

例句：

Investment from the 27-nation bloc dropped 1.8 percent year-on-year to $4.18 billion for

theJanuary-September period.

今年前三季度，來(lái)自27國(guó)集團(tuán)的投資為41.8億美元，同比下降了1.8個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。
