Manufacturing is showing signs of a modest revival in the U.S. Some companies have brought home production of items, including refrigerators and hand mixers, formerly made abroad. But clothing, electronic goods and many other day-to-day staples still tend to come from overseas.
Joe Philipson for The Wall Street Journal在美国制造卖场里,Zack Andol正在给一位顾客结帐。美国制造业已经显露出适度复苏的迹象。部分企业已经把电冰箱和手持式搅拌器等产品的生产从国外转移回美国国内。但服装、电子产品和其他很多日常用品往往还是来自国外。
As a result, there is no electronics department in Mr. Andol's 6,000-square-foot store. 'Nothing in our store takes a battery, and nothing is plugged in,' he said. He would love to change that if he ever finds such a product that is completely American-made.
因此,安多尔6,000平方英尺(557平方米)的卖场里没有电子产品区域。他说:我们店里没有什么东西需要使用电池,没有什么东西需要电源插座。如果能够找到一款纯美国制造的这类产品,他倒是乐意改变这种状况。
Rob Whalen, the store's head merchandise buyer, would be delighted even to find a U.S.-made electric can opener. 'I can't tell you how many people want an American can opener,' he said. But partly American-made wouldn't cut it.
对于卖场的商品采购部主管罗布•惠伦(Rob Whalen)来说,能找到一款美国制造的电动开罐器都是一件非常高兴的事。他说:我可以告诉你有多少人想要一款美制开罐器。但半美国制产品满足不了他们的要求。
