句子积累

【1】While polls show Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Services(NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.

翻译：虽然民调显示，英国人把“乡村”与王室、莎士比亚和国民保健制度（NHS）作为他们国家最自豪的地方，但这一点在政治上的支持率有限。

【2】A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.” It was especially to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air”. Hill’s pressures【呼吁】 later let to the creation of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes【混凝土消耗，】 more of it. It needs constant guardianship.

翻译：一个世纪前，Octavia Hill成立了国民信托基金（民间组织），目的不是拯救时髦的房屋，而是为了“永远为每个人保留自然之美”。它特别为城市居民提供休闲空间，让他们可以体验“清新的空气”。希尔的呼吁后来促使国家公园和绿化带的建立。他们不再建设乡村，混凝土每年消耗更多。乡村需要持续的保护。

【3】At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to ⭐⭐⭐endorse this sentiment【支持这种观点】.The Conservative’s planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation【保护】,even authorizing “off-plan” building 【批准计划外建设】where local people might object.Only Ukip ,sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading【呼吁】 for a more considered approach【更周全的方式】 to using green land.Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Conservative parties.

翻译：在下一次选举中，似乎没有哪个大党会赞同这种观点。那个保守党的规划改革明确将农村发展置于保护之上，甚至批准在当地居民可能反对的地方进行“计划外”建设。仅英国独立党（Ukip）察觉到了这个机会，站在了那些呼吁采取一种更为慎重的方式来利用绿色陆地一边。其保护英格兰农村地区的运动使当地许多保守党胆战心惊。

【4】 The sensible place to build new houses,factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place【准备就绪的】. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified【确定】 enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone, with no intrusion on green belt.What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.

翻译：建造新房子、工厂和办公室的明智之地是人们在的地方，在基础设施完善的城镇。伦敦地产经纪商斯特林·阿克罗伊德（stirling ackroyd）最近确认，仅在伦敦地区，就有足够50万套房屋的选址，而且不会对绿化带造成任何干扰。伦敦都如此在各省更是如此。

【5】The idea that “housing crisis” equal “concrete meadows【用混凝土浇筑的草地】” is pure lobby talk【游说团体的说辞】. The issue is not the need for more houses but ,as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favors rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal【支持新建房子而非城市翻新或者改造】. He favors out-of-town shopping sites against high streets【商业街】.This is not a free market but a biased one【有偏好的地方】. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges【建筑紧贴城乡的边界】 and respects their character.

翻译：
“住房危机”等同于“水泥草地”的观点纯属游说。问题不是需要更多的房子，而是一如既往地，把它们放在哪里。在游说团体的压力下，乔治·奥斯本支持农村新建，而不是城市改造和翻新。他支持郊外的购物场所而不是商业街。这个不是自由市场，而是一个有偏好的市场。农村城镇和乡村已经发展并将永远发展。在建筑紧贴边缘并尊重其个性的地方，他们做得最好。

句子积累

【0】And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect”, whereby【凭此，借以；由于】 its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.

翻译：第三，通过更广泛的“光环效应”，它的善行赢得了消费者和其他人更多的关注。

【1】“There is one and only one social responsibility of business”, wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.”

翻译：诺贝尔经济学奖获得者米尔顿·弗里德曼写道：“企业有一种而且只有一种社会责任，那就是利用企业资源，从事旨在增加利润的活动。”

笔者注：学过经济学的人应该听过弗里德曼这个人，太有名了。

【2】The study found that, among prosecuted firms【被起诉的公司】, those with the most comprehensive CSR( Corporate Social Responsibility) programmes tended to get more lenient penalties【更加仁慈的处罚】. Their analysis ruled out the possibility【排除……的可能性】 that it was firm’s political influence ,rather than their CSR stand【立场】, that accounted for the leniency : Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.

翻译：

研究发现，在被起诉的公司中，那些拥有最全面的企业社会责任（CSR）计划的公司往往会受到更为宽松的处罚。他们的分析排除了可能是公司的政治影响力，而不是企业的社会责任立场，才导致了这一宽大处理：对政治活动贡献更多的公司并没有得到较低的罚款。

说人话：Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm’s political influence ,rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency 就是 rather than 后面的东西 导致了处罚时候的宽大处理。

【3】 In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors【检察官】 should only evaluate a case based on its merits【merit本身的情况】, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labor-rights concern, such as child labor, or increasing corporate giving by about 20% rusults in fines that are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials.”

翻译

总之，这项研究的结论是，尽管检察官只应根据案情来评估案件，但他们似乎确实受到公司在CRS中的记录的影响。”我们估计，要么消除一个实质性的劳工权益问题，比如童工问题，要么将企业捐赠增加约20%，有这两种行为的公司中因贿赂外国官员的案件要交的罚款比典型惩罚低40%。”
