美国《财富》杂志2004年一期公布了美国最大的500家公司最新排名,沃尔玛公司连续第三年名列榜首。
外电中有这样的报道:
Retailing giant Wal-Mart Stores Inc., with net sales last year of $256.33 billion, was named No. 1 on the Fortune 500 list of America's largest companies for the third year in a row.
in a row是一个固定短语,意思是one after the other without a break(一个接一个地,没有间断)。例如:She won the competition three times in a row.(她接连三次赢得了比赛冠军。)
