1. No deal to avoid this double whammy is likely before the November 6th election. So any firm that sells to the federal government is left in limbo. Mike Lawrie, head of Computer Sciences Corporation, a big technology -services firm, recently told investors: “I just don’t know what’s going to happen...None of us [knows].” The debt-ceiling showdown makes last summer’s weak economy weaker, said James Tisch, the boss of Loews Corporation, a conglomerate, last month. And “this fiscal cliff is the summer of ’11 but on steroids.” 字典有查到on steroids應該是指the summer of ’11規模更大、更強烈的版本，不過不曉得the summer of ’11代表什麼？原文出處：http://www.economist.com/node/21556930 2. The jury’s verdict provides a stunning denouement to Mr Gupta's career. After immigrating from Kolkata as a young man, he joined McKinsey & Company, a consulting firm. He would go on to become the firm's managing director, and serve on the boards and advisory panels of many of America’s most prestigious investment firms, corporations, universities and philanthropies. would go on to become是指他之後會繼續升上managing director嗎？但我查了維基包括黃色那行以及之後整段都是他經歷過的，還是我搞錯作者的意思了？ 3. Underlying the convictions were two key events in 2008. The first concerned Goldman's receipt of a $5 billion life-line from Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway during the heat of the financial crisis. The other involved the jarring losses Goldman would endure in subsequent months. 這句猜不出意思 4. Much of the trial featured mind-numbing recitations of phone and trading records. Various executives explained that information heard by boards was indeed confidential, and should not be shared with the public. To this dry factual base, the prosecutors added descriptions of discussions between Mr Gupta and Mr Rajaratnam, followed by frantic, lucrative trading at Galleon. “ It was too coincidental,” said a juror. 不知道這裡dry翻做什麼 2.3.4段原文出處：http://ppt.cc/vX3A 懇請解惑　感激不盡 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.39.99.209
