Airbus and Boeing, the heavyweights of commercial aviation, will use the occasion to announce big orders: the European firm, which husbands deals to unveil at the event, will win.

策略

聲勢浩大，

什麼，目的?  to announce big orders

指標: orders  (訂單、訂單、還是訂單)

husband: 節儉 or 環保

He tries to husband his energy and strength for his 小蜜！

罗嗦！既然“husband作动词用时，就成了抠门和节省的意思”

那么：“to husband his wife” 不就是 “老婆基本不用”了吗？

commercial aviation  

( 莫非，有非商用航空業? )

Arms-makers will appear more cheerful because defence budgets are growing again after years of decline and stagnation.

But Bombardier, a Canadian maker of regional jets, may look a little gloomy unless it has some orders up its sleeve for its CSeries.

存真去偽

    ace up its sleeve  VS.  an ace in the hole 

                       出奇       ，制勝?

The much delayed plane, seating up to 150, is due to make its debut at the show before entering service early next year. 

訂單，在哪?

                                                                                       ( 請，禱告。)

但，

Yet orders have come slowly for an aircraft intended to nibble into the duopoly of Boeing and Airbus, which have heavily discounted their competing smaller jets.

Boeing and Airbus

次序，掉換了。WHY?

敵人的敵人，就是朋友?

Unless more buyers emerge, the costs of the programme threaten Bombardier’s existence.

好好，回想

就這樣。
