夏说英语新闻晨读 第625期:波音公司迎来销售低谷

Boeing had no new orders for planes in April. Not only did the troubled 737 Max receive zero new orders since it was grounded March 13, Boeing's other jets, such as the 787 Dreamliner or the 777, also did not get any new orders last month, according to a company report released Tuesday.
