Reeling from a terrible season for the Kings, the Maloof organization
announced its first-ever layoffs Tuesday.
国王刚经历很糟糕的一季，马鲁夫宣布第一次裁员。
Maloof Sports & Entertainment said it has eliminated about 1 percent of its
1,200 jobs. That translates to about a dozen jobs, though the organization
wouldn't say if they were full-time workers, part-timers or both.
马鲁夫运动娱乐公司说要减少大约1200个工作机会的1%。也就是差不多一打(这是在赚
字数吗...)，虽然没有说是全职还是兼差还是两者都有。
The owner of the Kings, Monarchs and Arco Arena was reacting to the weak
economy and a dismal Kings season that produced waves of unsold tickets at
Arco.
因为经济还有战绩导致票房不佳。
"Like all companies today – including sports teams and leagues – we are
making changes in every area of our business," the organization said in a
press release.
「我们正在改变我们事务里的每一个领域」
The Kings have scrambled in recent months to respond to declining revenue.
The team in February was among a dozen teams borrowing money under a line of
credit arranged by the National Basketball Association. The Kings wouldn't
say how much they borrowed, but each team was allowed $13 million to $20
million.
国王这几个月来一直在应付下滑的收入。在二月时就向nba借了一笔钱。国王不会透露数
目，不过每只球队可以借13m到20m
Team executives also acknowledged the Kings were on track to lose $25 million
to $28 million this year, although that was before trading several
high-salaried players in February.
球队执行也承认今年损失了25m到28m，虽然这是在交易掉几个高薪球员之前的数字。
The team ranked last in the league in attendance, averaging 12,571, according
to ESPN.com. In an effort to revive attendance, the Kings have announced
they're dropping season ticket prices for next year.
观众人数也是排名倒数第一，平均12571。为了唤回观众，已经宣布明年季票降价。
The recession has produced a cash crunch for several sports organizations.
The NBA league office laid off 9 percent of its employees last fall. The
National Hockey League's Phoenix Coyotes filed for bankruptcy protection this
month.
经济衰退已经造成许多运动组织现金危机。nba官方在去年秋天已经裁掉9%员工。职业冰球
的Phoenix Coyotes这个月已经申请破产保护。
The layoffs are the first since the Maloof family bought the organization 11
years ago, said Mitch Germann, a vice president with Maloof Sports.
这次裁员是自从马鲁夫11年前接手以来第一次。
