【答案解析】[听力原文]
   M: Welcome to the Patala Airways Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call. We had a net loss of $97 million, not including special items. That compares to an $89 million loss in the third quarter of last year on the same basis. This is obviously not heading in the direction we want to go. Revenues are decreasing gradually year-over-year. The main reason for this, of course, is fuel. The price per liter that we pay for fuel is up about 33% on a year-over-year basis. Fuel is, by far, our largest expenditure. Take a look at the financials and you'll see that fuel expense was about $1 billion in the current third quarter, roughly one-third of total operating expenses. So, if average fuel prices had basically remained at last year's first quarter levels, which we thought were pretty high, our current third quarter fuel expenses would have been lower.
