2016年CATTI三级口译考试讲义六
米塔尔公司老总拉克什米·米塔尔认为，钢铁工业最终将会成为少数年钢产量超过1 亿吨公司的天下，而他一手策划的钢铁巨擘年产量至少将达到1.2 亿吨。不过，此项收购尚未大功告成。首先必须要做的是，阿塞洛公司至少半数的股东必须于6 月30 日通过投票反对与
Severstal 钢铁公司的合并。That seems likely. Mr Mittal's bid is now 49% higher than it was in January. (4)He has made further concessions to get Arcelor's bosses to concede defeat, contenting himself with a 43.6% stake in the new company. He gave Arcelor four of the seven s______④ on the management board. Mr Kinsch will be chairman of Arcelor Mittal, as the company will be called, and a bitterly disappointed Mr Dollé will depart.
这看来是有可能的。米塔尔现在的出价要比一月份时高出49%。为了让阿塞洛高层人员投
子认输，他还作出了进一步让步，即甘愿只要新公司43.6%的股份。新公司将命名为阿塞洛
-米塔尔公司，他将新公司董事会的7 个席位留了4 席给阿塞洛。金希将担任新公司总裁，
而失望透顶的道勒则将离职。
Several shareholders, including Romain Zaleski, Arcelor's biggest, with a 7.8% stake, have
decided to vote against a merger with Severstal. Even if the Russian deal is approved, Mr Mittal
can still scupper[5] it, by buying 73% of Arcelor shares through his own tender offer before it
e_______⑤ in July. Again, Mr Zaleski has promised his backing.
包括罗曼·扎尔斯基(阿塞洛最大股东，拥有7.8%股份)在内的几位股东已经决定投票反对与Severstal 的合并。即便与俄罗斯人的合并案获得通过，米塔尔仍可以在7 月份收购要约失效以前通过购买阿塞洛73%的股权来达成自己的目标。扎尔斯基对此再次表示了支持。
Mr Kinsch, for one, seems resigned to the merger going ahead. He said that he hopes that it will
eventually become a marriage of hearts. He also d_______⑥ any regret for the insults he and his
lieutenants hurled[6] at the Indian-born entrepreneur's company and culture, including a
dismissal[7] of Mittal shares as “monkey money[8]”. Such behaviour was forgotten, he declared,
as soon as everyone sat down together at the same table. (5)That sentiment would have sounded
more convincing coming from Mr Mittal.
单就金希来说，他似乎已经默许了这次合并。他说他希望这最终会是一次真心诚意的联姻。
可对于他和他的副手曾经恶语中伤这位印度企业家的公司和文化，以及将米塔尔所占股份看
成是“猴子钱”而对其不屑一顾，他并不感到后悔。他声称，等到大家坐到一起的时候，就会
把这些事忘掉。如果这是米塔尔的感想，听上去就会更加令人心悦诚服了。
