Tyson Foods is the latest company closing its Chicago-area offices, joining Boeing, Caterpillar and Citadel among others. The poultry producer said Wednesday that it’s bringing together its corporate employees at its global headquarters in Arkansas, resulting in the closure of three offices, including downtown Chicago, Downers Grove, Illinois, and Dakota Dunes in South Dakota. Roughly 1,000 employees work in the three offices and will begin relocation in early next year.
泰森食品是最近一家关闭其芝加哥地区办公点的公司，加入了波音、卡特彼勒和Citadel等公司的行列。这家家禽生产商周三表示，它将关闭芝加哥市中心、伊利诺伊州的唐纳斯格罗夫和南达科他州的达科塔沙丘的三个办公点，把公司员工全部迁至阿肯色州的全球总部。三个办公点共计约1000名员工，将从明年初开始搬迁。
Tyson’s moveserves another blow forChicago’s image. McDonald’s, which has its headquarters there, criticized the city for crime. CEO Chris Kempczinski recently said that crime is “seepinginto every corner of our city” and he said that he’s frequently asked “what’s going on in Chicago?”
泰森食品的举措给芝加哥的形象带来了又一次打击。麦当劳的总部就设在那里，曾因该市的犯罪情况对这座城市进行了批评。芝加哥首席执行官克里斯·肯普辛斯基最近表示，犯罪活动正“渗透到我们城市的每一个角落中”，他说经常有人问他“芝加哥到底怎么了?”
Boeing (BA) said in May it was leaving Chicago for Washington, DC. The company didn’t blame crime. Analysts said the change signaled it has lost the commercial race to Airbus and wants to be seen as primarily a defense and space contractor. Boeing (BA) used to be based in Seattle from its founding in 1916 to 2001.
波音公司在5月份表示，它将离开芝加哥前往华盛顿特区。这家公司并没有怪罪于犯罪。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~从1916年成立到2001年，波音公司的总部一直设在西雅图。
Tyson has had arockyyear because of inflation. It recently said that “demand for chicken is extremely strong,” while demand for its higher-priced cuts of beef has softened. Average sales price for chicken grew during its latest quarter, while the average price for beef and pork fell as consumersbalkedat some premium cuts.
由于通货膨胀，泰森食品今年经营困难重重。该公司最近表示，“对鸡肉的需求非常强劲”，而对其定价更高的大块牛肉的需求有所减弱。在最近一个季度，鸡肉的平均销售价格有所增长，而牛肉和猪肉的平均价格则有所下降，原因是消费者对一些高品质肉购买意愿不高。
Consumer demand for meat remained strong, Tyson said, but consumers are shifting between meats because of inflation. The company plans to launch new lower-priced options and also add new larger package sizes for consumers searching for value. Shares of Tyson are down about 25% for the year.
泰森食品表示，消费者对肉类的需求依然强劲，但由于通货膨胀，消费者的需求在肉类之间发生了转移。该公司计划推出新的低价产品，并为追求品质的消费者增加新的更大的包装尺寸。泰森食品的股价今年以来下跌了约25%。
