“批发市场”怎么说

自12月11日起，中国将对外开放国内原油、成品油的批发经营权，一改中石油和中石化两大集团集中批发成品油的局面。从此，具备条件的企业都可以从事原油、成品油的批发经营，国内石油市场将逐步形成国有大型石油公司、跨国石油公司和社会经营单位共同参与的格局。

请看《中国日报》The oil product wholesale market will be open to domestic and foreign investors from next year, the Ministry of Commerce announced yesterday.

The wholesale business has long been monopolized by two State-owned conglomerates China Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec) and China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC). And the opening-up will bring in new entities including State-owned, multinational and private companies, which can invest in the sales of gasoline, diesel and kerosene to retailers.

报道中的“wholesale market”指“批发市场”。“Wholesale”在此做形容词，表示“批发的”，如：wholesale price（批发价）、whole dealer（批发商）、wholesale business（批发业务）。

此外，wholesale也可用做副词和动词，分别指“以批发价、大批（购买）”、“成批出售”，看几个例子：To buy goods wholesale（批量购进货物）、to send out Christmas cards wholesale（大量寄送圣诞卡）、These pencils wholesale at 15 Yuan per dozen.（这种铅笔批发售价每打15元。）

报道中所提到的“油”，“原油”常用“crude oil”来表示，而“成品油”则为“refined oil”。
