专业词汇|Inventory：货存、库存量

尽管美国原油库存增加，油价下跌，石油输出国组织仍将如期实行从2004年8月份开始每天增产50万桶原油的计划。
外电中有如此的报道：

OPEC needs to stick to its pledge to raise daily crude oil output by half a million barrels on Aug. 1, even though U.S. oil prices are lower and inventories^{1 are higher.}

Inventory^{2除去详细目录、财产清单的意思外，还表示存货、库存量。比如下面这句关于清仓处置的广告语：We are liquidating3 some inventory and offering 10% off our regular prices for the following parts.（大家正在清理一些存货，对于以下的零件提供低于平时价格10%的优惠。）}
