skirmish 是指小冲突,摩擦。 Recent cross-border skirmishes between Pakistan and India have killed at least 35 people and injured hundreds on the Pakistani side of the disputed Kashmir region, officials say. 有关官员说,最近巴基斯坦和印度之间的跨境小冲突在有争议的克什米尔地区巴基斯坦控制一带造成至少35人死亡,数百人受伤。
In any trade skirmish, currency adjustments are often a natural consequence of tariffs, slowed growth or central bank action to soften the impact. 在任何贸易摩擦中,货币调整往往是关税、经济增长放缓或央行为减轻影响而采取措施的自然而然的结果。
