波音将进行第二轮裁员

Boeing plans additional job cuts following the 16,000 positions it previously announced would be eliminated as the coronavirus pandemic continues to slash demand for air travel and new planes.

由于新冠疫情持续削减人们对航空旅行和新飞机的需求，飞机制造商波音计划在此前宣布裁员1.6万人的基础上进行新一轮裁员。

"I truly wish the current market demand could support the size of our workforce," CEO David Calhoun said Tuesday in a note to employees. "Unfortunately, layoffs are a hard but necessary step to align to our new reality, preserve liquidity and position ourselves for the eventual return to growth."

波音首席执行官戴夫·卡尔霍恩8月18日在致员工的一封信中表示：“我真的希望当前的市场需求能够支持我们的劳动力规模。不幸的是，裁员是艰难但必不可少的步骤，以适应我们的新现实，保持流动性并为最终的恢复增长做好定位。”

Calhoun didn't say how many more employees Boeing would cut.

卡尔霍恩并未透露波音还将解雇多少员工。

In April, the aircraft builder said it planned to cut 10% of its global workforce of 160,000.

4月，波音称，计划在全球裁员10%，即16万个岗位。

About 5,500 Boeing employees agreed earlier this year to a voluntary buyout.

今年早些时候，约有5500波音员工接受了自愿离职买断工龄要约。

The company then laid off an additional 6,800 workers in May and cut production.

随后，波音于5月又解雇6800人，并进行减产。

In January, Boeing reported a loss of $636 million in 2019 compared with a profit of $10.46 billion in 2018 - its first annual loss in more than 20 years.

今年1月，波音称，该公司2019年亏损6.36亿美元，这是该公司20多年来首次出现年度亏损。2018年波音盈利104.6亿美元。
