Depreciation
“Depreciation”是一个名词,主要有两个含义:
- 贬值:货币或资产价值下降
- 折旧:资产因使用而价值下降
- The depreciation of the car was rapid. (汽车的折旧很快。)
- Currency depreciation affected exports. (货币贬值影响了出口。)
- The depreciation was calculated annually. (折旧是每年计算的。)
“Depreciation”来自动词 “depreciate”(贬值),加上后缀 “-ion”(名词后缀,表示动作)。
- 前缀:de-(降低)
- 词根:preciat-(价值)
- 后缀:-ion(名词后缀)
“Depreciation”常用于描述资产价值下降或货币贬值,在金融、会计和日常对话中经常使用。
- 动词形式:depreciate(贬值)
可以将 “depreciation” 与 “appreciation”(升值)联系起来,两者是反义词。
When I bought my car, I knew it would lose value over time - that’s depreciation. The depreciation happens because cars wear out, get older, and become less valuable. Understanding depreciation helps you make better financial decisions, like knowing when to sell something before it loses too much value.
当我买我的车时,我知道它会随着时间的推移失去价值——这就是折旧。折旧发生是因为汽车磨损、变老,变得不那么有价值。理解折旧帮助你做出更好的财务决策,比如知道何时在它失去太多价值之前出售某些东西。
