Microsoft tumbled to a $3.2bn net loss in the latestquarter, the worst in its history, as it struggled toput the failed acquisition of Nokia’s handset business and a slump in the PC market behind it.

上一财季微软(Microsoft)录得32亿美元净亏损，为公司历史上业绩最糟糕的一个财季。该公司仍难以摆脱收购诺基亚(Nokia)手机业务这一败笔以及个人电脑(PC)市场下滑带来的影响。

The results were also weighed down by the rise of the US dollar, which wiped out any growth inits core commercial division and ate into the gross profit margin.

微软的业绩还受到美元升值的困扰。美元升值彻底抹去了该公司核心商业部门的增长，还侵蚀了毛利率。

Microsoft still managed to top Wall Street’s downbeat revenue and earnings expectations,thanks largely to a jump in sales of its Surface tablet and Xbox games console.

不过，微软的营收和利润要强于华尔街悲观的预期，这主要是因为其Surface平板电脑和Xbox游戏机的销售有大幅增长。

But shares in the world’s biggest software company fell nearly 4 per cent to $45.45 in after-market trading, reversing some of their recent gains, as investors remained wary about itsability to use newer services to make up for the decline in other businesses.

但在盘后交易中，世界最大软件公司的股价还是下跌了近4%，至每股45.45美元，抹掉了近期的部分涨幅。投资者者仍在担心，微软能否用新的服务弥补其他业务的下滑。
