1: A WISE gamble involves knowing when to hold, when to fold and when to run,croons Kenny Rogers , an artist released through EMI's Capitol Records . 2: Some are now wondering whether Universal Music Group was wise to gamble quite so much money on EMI's recorded-music division, which it bought from Citigroup for ￡1.2 billion ($1.9 billion) in an auction in November last year. 3: For a firm in the weakest segment of a struggling industry, it was a lot. And regulators in America and Europe may make it costlier still.

1: 肯尼?罗杰斯（Kenny Rogers）在通过百代（EMI）旗下的国会唱片公司（Capitol Records）发行的一首歌中，这样低声吟唱道："聪明的牌手知道何时叫牌，他懂得扣牌的时机，他还明白几时该重返牌局"。 2: 环球唱片（Universal Music Group）去年11月在一次拍卖会上从花旗集团（Citigroup）手中以12亿英镑（折合19亿美元）的价格买入英国百代（EMI）的唱片部门。环球如此大手笔的冒险行为是否明智？一些业界人士对此表示怀疑。 3:对处在这样一个苦苦挣扎的行业，而且是其发展最疲软市场中的公司来说，这的确是一大笔钱。此外，美国和欧盟相关监管部门的介入，可能令环球付出更高昂的代价。

1: When the SEC released draft rules in November, businesses fretted that the financial rewards would prompt insiders to go straight to the commission, bypassing their firms' internal procedures—especially since that would reduce the risk of being victimised by the boss or branded a "disgruntled employee". 2: The new rules try to correct this, for example by allowing a reward to be paid in some circumstances to whistle-blowers who only grumble internally.

1:当证券交易委员会在去年11月公布规定的草案时，公司担心金钱奖励会促使内部知情人越过内部程序直接向委员会举报，因为这样会降低被老板陷害或者被贴上"不满员工"标签的风险。2:新出台的规定试图改变这一状况，比如规定在一些情况下可以奖励只在内部举报没有外传的员工。

1:So far, so normal.2:But instead of cooking the whole things, Dr Molette removed a 200-gram sample from each liver (an average liver weighed 550 grams) and put the rest in cold storage.3:She then placed each sample into a jar with a bit of salt and pepper, and cooked it for an hour.4:As she expected, some livers released a lot of fat when cooked while others released little.5:Armed with this information, she was able to turn her attention back to the uncooked sections of the livers and see if she could find any systematic chemical differences between them.

1:到此阶段，一切正常。2:然而Molette 博士并没有使用整个肝脏，而是从每份肝脏（均重550克）中取200克作为样品，其余冷藏。3:她将每个样品分别放置在罐子中，加入少许盐和胡椒，烹饪半小时。4:正如她所料，烹饪时有些肝脏释放出大量脂肪，而有些却不是。5:获得这一信息后，她就将目光转向至还没处理的那部分肝脏，她想知道这二者之间是否存在系统性化学差异。

1:THE timing of the pope's much-discussed change of position on the use of condoms to prevent the spread of HIV (he will now allow prostitutes to use them without fear of hellfire) was surely no coincidence.2:He made it on November 21st—ten days before World AIDS Day and two before UNAIDS, the United Nations body charged with combating the epidemic, released its latest report on the state of the battle.

1:近期罗马教皇改变了其对于使用避孕套以防止艾滋病传播的立场（称男妓可以使用避孕套，而不必惧怕地狱之火的惩罚），引来一片议论。2:这个时间绝非巧合。他是本月21日向外界宣布的——恰逢世界艾滋病日前十天，也是在两天后，负责抗击艾滋病的联合国机构——联合国艾滋病规划署（UNAIDS）发布了其最新的艾滋病防治工作报告。

1: The system Dr Newman and Mr Convers have developed taps into hundreds of seismic monitoring stations around the world. 2: When an earthquake is detected, the software immediately looks at the size of the tremor and the location of its epicentre. 3: If the quake's magnitude is greater than 6.5 and the epicentre is underwater, it then requests information from the relevant stations on how long the earthquake took from beginning to end. 4: That allows it to work out how quickly energy was released by the earthquake, and thus how fast the rupture propagated. 5: An energy-release rate indicating a rupture rate of 1?km a second or less sets the alarm bells ringing, for the earthquake has probably spawned a tsunami—though the system is also sensitive to the actual earthquake magnitude, and adjusts accordingly, so it did not miss the tsunami-creating potential of the Japanese earthquake either.

1:纽曼博士与康弗斯先生研发的新系统接入了世界各地几百所地震监测站。2:当检测到地震时，该系统软件立即测算地震规模与震中位置。3:如果级数超过6.5级且震中位于水下，系统则要求相关监测站报送地震全程持续时间。4:这一信息可帮助计算地震能量释放速度，并以此计算岩层断裂速度。5:岩层断裂速度达1.5km/秒以下的能量释放速度将会拉响警报，而这时极有可能引发海啸——尽管如此，该系统也能检测出地震级数并作出相应调整，因此也检测出了日本地震会引发海啸的风险。
