第350句
Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them-especially in America-the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity.
译文:就在老板和董事会成员最终解决了极糟糕的账务与合规问题,并改善公司管埋的不利局面后,一个新的难题又构成了威胁,即数据安全。而在美国,这个威胁尤其严重,对他们的负面报道会成为头条新闻,从而不可避免地导致了管理层成员辞职。
点睛:本句的主干为…a…problem threatens to earn them…。句首是由as引导的时间状语从句,从句的主语为bosses and boards.谓语动词为sorted out和improved。主句中两个破折号之间的部分为插入语,第二个破折号后的the sort of nasty headlines为宾语them的补足语,其后是定语从句that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite,冒号之后的data insecurity是a new problem的同位语。
board除了有“木板”的意思,还可表示“董事会”,即board of directors。sort out意为“解决”。accounting意为“会计”,accountant意为“会计师”。compliance意为“合规”。governance意为“管理”,corporation governance意为“公司管理”。heads rolling在句中指“辞退”。suite意为“套房,套间”,the executive suite指“管理层”。
