debt this year to pay for dividends and finance share buybacks because a
significant portion of its cash is held overseas, Bloomberg News reported
Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter. The company is expected to
raise as much as it can without jeopardizing its debt rating which is
estimated to be about $5 billion, Bloomberg said.
此话怎解？

Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer is under pressure to return some of
the company’s $36.8 billion in cash and short term investments to investors
in the form of dividends or share buybacks. Much of that is held overseas,
requiring Microsoft to pay taxes on money brought home.
