   such as staplers.

口說小俚語 

There has been a slight increase in ...

There has been a slight increase in worker's salaries.
(政府的措施將會穩定不動產的價格。)

簡報英文通關小提醒 :★★★★
在說明「變化」和「發展」的狀態時有許多表達方式,讓我們先來看看特別與「增加」及「減少」相關的用法。

照樣造句
ex:There has been a slight gain in our market share.
 (我們的市占率有微幅的成長。)
ex:There has been a slight decrease in our GDP by 0.01%.
 (我們的國內生產總值微幅的減少了0.01%。)
ex:There has been a slight fall of sales figures.
 (銷售量有微幅的下滑。)
ex:There has been rapid growth in the advertising industry.
 (廣告產業有急速的成長。)
ex:We have witnessed an unexpected dip in the stock market.
 (我們見到股市無預警地下跌。)
ex:There was a dramatic increase in heating-oil consumption last winter due to
  record-breaking, cold temperatures.
 (去年冬天由於破紀錄的低氣溫,使得暖氣燃油的消耗量急遽的增加。)

重點提示
若干,些微的 slight 表示微小的量或是程度,a slight decrease (些微的減少)也可以用a bit、a little 來替換。
