In A Row：一个接一个_新闻热词

　美国《财富》杂志今年一期公布了美国最大的500家公司最新排名，沃尔玛公司连续第三年名列榜首。

　　外电中有这样的报道：

　　retailing giant wal-mart stores inc., with net sales last year of $256.33 billion, was named no. 1 on the fortune 500 list of america's largest companies for the third year in a row.

　in a row是一个固定短语，意思是one after the other without a break（一个接一个地，没有间断）。例如：she won the competition three times in a row.（她接连三次赢得了比赛冠军。）
