Revenue Government Money Head Advertising Lemonade Revənju Revənu

英语单词 revenue
英美音标 ['revənju:; 'revənu:]
中文释义 n.收入,国家的收入,税收
vocab简明 Revenue is money earned by a business, or income received by the government from taxes. The government is always interested in dreaming up new sources of revenue, and so is the average head of a company unless she doesn't want to be the head anymore.
vocab扩展 Revenue is from a French word meaning "to return or come back," and dollar returns are always a welcome thing. Declining advertising revenue will doom your website, no matter how great it is. If your lemonade stand is not making a profit, you might consider lowering costs. Maybe you could get cheaper lemonade mix? Or you might look for more creative and exciting ways to increase revenue––like raiding the pantry for cookies you can sell as well.
真题原句 The problem is simple and stark: health-care costs have been, are, and will continue to increase faster than government revenues.
