Consider the $10.2 billion bid by Norfolk Southern and CSX to acquire Conrail this year.
请想一想今年南诺弗克公司和CSX公司为兼并康雷尔公司所花的102亿美元吧。
Conrail's net railway operating income in 1996 was just $427 million, less than half of the carrying costs of the transaction.
康雷尔公司1996年铁路运营纯收入为4.27亿美元，这还不足这宗交易运作成本的一半。
Who's going to pay for the rest of the bill?
谁来支付其余的费用？
Many captive shippers fear that they will, as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip on the market.
许多“被控”客户担心他们会，因为南诺弗克和CSX公司将增加对市场的控制。

No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule.
在科学领域内，专业与业余之间没有绝对的区分：任何规律都有其例外。
Nevertheless, the word "amateur" does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values.
但是“业余”这个词的确具有特殊的含义，那就是所指的那个人没有完全融入某个科学家群体，具体地说，他可能并不完全认同这个群体的价值观。
Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident.
公司因此感到了威胁，便做出了反应，写出越来越长的警示标识语，力图预先标明种种可能发生的事故。
Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might — surprised! — fall off.
现在，梯子上警告标签有几英寸长，除了警告你其他可能发生的意外情况外，还警告你可能会摔下来，简直是莫名其妙！
The label on a child's Batman cape cautions that the toy "does not enable user to fly."
印在儿童编幅侠披风上的标识语竟然也告诫说，本玩具“无法让用户飞行”。
At the same time, the American Law Institute — a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight — issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones.
与此同时，美国法学会——该学会由一群举足轻重的法官、律师、学者所组成——签署了新的民事侵害法纲要，宣布公司不必警示顾客那些显而易见的危险，或者给顾客列出一份冗长的可能造成的危险的清单。
If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.
假如科学实验像科学杂志登载的科学报告显示的那样完全按事先的计划去规划和实施，那么，对管理层来说，期待研究能够产生可以用金钱衡量的结果是完全合理的。
It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.
审计人员也完全有理由相信，确切知道自己的目标并知道如何实现这一目标的科学家们根本没必要用一只眼盯着现金计数器的同时，还要用另一只眼睛盯着显微镜。
