1: Yet there is a bright spot: small-town shoppers are starting to splurge. 2: Godrej, a family-owned conglomerate, saw its sales of white goods drop by over a tenth in big cities in the past fiscal year. 3: But sales in towns of less than 100,000 people rose by 19%, and in villages by over 40%. 4: Bajaj, another conglomerate, says small-town and rural sales have risen handily in recent years, to a quarter of its home-appliances business. 5: Sales of motorbikes and mopeds have decelerated more gently than cars, an urban luxury.

1:但也要看到光明之处：小城市的消费者开始大方起来。2:上一个财政年度里，家族企业Gofrej集团在大城市的家用电器销量下降了十分之一。3:但是人口少于十万人的小城市里的销量却上升了19%，在乡村，这一数字上涨了40%。4:另一家大型企业巴贾杰指出，近年来，小城镇和农村地区的销量不断上升，达到了其家用电器总份额的四分之一。5:汽车是城市里的奢侈品，尽管摩托车、小机动车和汽车的销量都有所下降，但不及汽车销量下降的迅速。

1:All of which is fine and dandy except that, if rigged to the average coal-fired power station, this process might use a quarter of the energy the plant produces.2:According to Howard Herzog, a chemical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has made a study of the matter, that implies a cost of between $50 and $100 per tonne of carbon stored.3:Carbon dioxide can sometimes be sold to oil companies for injection into partially depleted wells, in order to force more petroleum out of them.4:For that use it fetches at most $40 a tonne.5:But much CO2 is not produced near depleted oil wells-and anyway, the price would surely drop if CCS became widespread.6:In one way or another, then, the technology will need to be subsidised if it is ever to become important.

1:如果普通的烧煤发电厂使用这些被赋予美好愿望的先进技术，这个过程会消耗电厂产生的四分之一的能源。2:麻省理工学院的化学工程师霍华德·赫佐格研究过这个事情，他说这意味着每储存一吨碳的成本在50到100美元之间。3:有时候可以把二氧化碳卖给石油公司，他们用来注入部分耗尽的油井，这样就能出更多的石油。4:每吨最多能卖到40美元。5:但是在这些将近开采殆尽的油井的周围不能生产更多的二氧化碳，总之一旦广泛采用CCS技术，这个价格一定会降下来。6:如果这项技术的重要性要得到提高，必须对其进行资助。

1: In many ways it seems odd that Wangari Maathai’s life should have been so closely associated with struggle. 2: Success appeared to come almost effortlessly to her, even though her origins were humble. 3: She was born to a Kikuyu family of peasant farmers in Ihithe, a small village in the central highlands of Kenya, which was then a British colony. 4: Though it was far from common in the 1940s for girls like her to receive an education, Wangari was sent to primary school—at her brother’s suggestion—at the age of eight. 5: From then on accomplishments seemed to drop into her lap. She got to secondary school, graduated top of her class and went on to earn a degree in biology in Kansas, an MSc in Pittsburgh and, after studying in Germany, a PhD on gonads in bovines in Nairobi. 6: That made her the first woman in east Africa to hold a doctorate. Jobs followed, in academic and civic positions which no black woman had filled before, and on their heels came award after award, none grander than the 2004 Nobel peace prize.

1:旺加里·马塔伊的人生怎会如此紧密地与斗争相联系，不可谓不怪。2:因为尽管出身微寒，成功于她唾手可得。3:她生于肯尼亚中部高原一个名叫伊希特（Ihithe）的小村庄，出身基库尤农民家庭，当时肯尼亚还是英国的殖民地。4:在二十世纪四十年代，像她这样的非洲女孩多半没机会受教育，马塔伊却很幸运，在哥哥的建议下，家里让她在八岁进了小学。5:从此各样成就纷纷收入囊中，她进了中学，并以全班第一的成绩毕业，后来留学美国在堪萨斯获得生物学学士学位，在匹兹堡获得理学硕士学位，又赴德国学习，然后回到肯尼亚，在首都内罗比获博士学位，研究方向为牛科动物生殖腺研究。6:这样，她成了东非第一个女博士，获得黑人女性未曾有过的学术与行政职位，接踵而来的是一项又一项荣誉与奖励，最为荣耀的是在2004年获得诺贝尔和平奖。

1: After the phone-hacking scandal at News Corp’s British newspaper arm-which is still being investigated by Lord Justice Leveson, a senior judge-the group had to drop its bid for full ownership of BSkyB, a profitable satellite broadcaster; it already owns 39%. 2: Separating the publishing division and giving it a new boss may not be enough to overcome regulatory obstacles to News Corp taking full ownership of BSkyB. 3: But it should help protect the entertainment businesses from the scandal’s rising legal costs, and at least ward off pressure for News Corp to sell its existing stake.

1:在新闻集团英国的报业分支爆出窃听门丑闻之后（该案件目前仍在接受上诉法院大法官莱维森的调查），该集团不得不放弃收购英国天空广播公司（BSkyB）以实现完全控股（新闻集团目前已拥有该公司39%的股份）。2:尽管将新闻出版部分剥离出来并转由新的老板管理尚不足以使得新闻集团克服监管障碍，从而买下天空广播公司。3:但它能帮助集团的娱乐业务免受窃听门案件带来的诉讼成本高涨的影响，至少消除新闻集团出售现有股份的压力。
