1:How Boeing will respond to this rocket-blast of competition in its own backyard remains to be seen.2:So far it has merely grumbled that the new factory will not change the fact that Airbus has benefited from huge subsidies at home.3:Perhaps Boeing should open a factory in Europe? That is easier said than done.Few places in the EU can match Alabama's sweet mix of flexible working practices and southern-fried tax breaks.

1:波音公司在自己的地盘如何应对这场激烈的竞争令人拭目以待。2:到目前为止它只是抱怨就算兴建新工厂也不能改变这样的事实，那就是空客公司已经在它的地盘从巨额补贴中获益。3:或许波音也该在欧洲兴建工厂？这件事说起来容易做起来难，因为欧洲很少有地方能像阿拉巴马州那样，将灵活的工作方式和具有南方特色的减税措施结合的如此完美。

1: This is, however, a less satisfying book than Mr Beevor’s earlier, more focused works. There is an unevenness of quality. 2: The author has a tremendous grasp of the things he has written about before, in particular the titanic struggle between Hitler and Stalin. 3: But he is dutiful rather than exhilarating when dealing with some other passages and theatres of the war. 4: The account of the campaign in north Africa plods, and American readers may be disappointed by his handling of the war in the Pacific. 5: The battle of Midway, arguably the defining naval engagement between Japan and America, gets two pages. At other times, there is too much detail: a succession of generals, armies and battles come and go. 6: Second world war anoraks and students of military history will get more of what they are looking for from Mr Beevor, but less committed readers will find Mr Hastings’s work easier to get to grips with and a better read. 7: Is there room for both books? Absolutely.

1:不过这本书并不如安东尼·比弗之前的那些内容更为集中的著作，这本书的内容质量参差不齐。2:安东尼·比弗对他以前所写的主题钻研得十分透彻，尤其是希特勒和斯大林之间的剧烈争斗。3:不过在处理一些其他章节和战区时，他只是尽了提到的责任，并没有写得出彩。4:他描写北非战役的笔墨十分沉重，而美国读者可能会他所写的太平洋战争感到失望。5:被公认为日美两国战事转捩点的中途岛战役只占了两页的篇幅，一些其他内容的细节却太多：一连串的将领、军队和战役如走马灯似地出现。6:二战发烧友和学军事史的学生会在安东尼·比弗的书中找到更多他们想要的东西，但没那么狂热的读者会觉得马克斯·哈斯丁的书更容易理解，读起来更舒服。7:能不能两本一起看？当然没问题。

1:The space-tourism business is famously long on hype but rather short, so far, on results.2:And both firms face big engineering challenges, to put it mildly.3:The easier task probably falls to Space Adventures, whose well-tested Soyuzcapsules-which have been flying, in one form or another, since the 1960s-require a beefier communications system, larger portholes (everyone wants a window seat, after all) and a better heat shield for re-entry.4:A separate booster rocket will be necessary to break the craft out of Earth orbit.

1:到目前为止，空间旅游已经大力宣传了很长时间，但是实际上刚刚开始。2:两个公司都面临着巨大的工程挑战，使他们抓狂。3:比较简单的任务可能降落在空间探险公司身上，其调试良好的联盟号飞船自从20世纪60年代以来已经以一种形式或另一种形式飞过——仅仅需要加装强大的制动装置，大的舷窗（毕竟每个人都想坐在离窗户近的地方）另外为重新进入加装好的隔热层。4:助推火箭分离器需要有强大的推力使航天器脱离地球轨道。

USSC is trying to break into China. It has opened sports camps in Beijing and Shanghai, also sponsored by Nike. However, Mr Pence describes the Chinese market as "challenging". Urban Chinese couples typically have one child, whose four grandparents have no other grandchildren. Finding babysitters is easier in Beijing than in Baltimore or Balham.

美国体育训练营试图打入中国市场。同样由耐克赞助，它已经在北京和上海建起了运动营地。然而，Pence认为中国市场是一次"挑战"。 中国城市夫妇通常有一个孩子，他们的四个祖父母没有其他外孙。相比巴尔的摩或者是巴勒姆，在北京给孩子找个保姆更加容易。

The British report is a follow-on from a similar study by the CTI on America, "The Sponsor Effect", published last year by the Harvard Business Review. The CTI is now working on India; Germany may come after that. It is also preparing a "road map" to make it easier for women everywhere to find sponsors.

这份英国报告，其实是美国CTI的一份类似研究的后续。这份研究的名称为《后台效应》，去年在期刊《哈佛商业评论》上出版。CTI现在正在对印度进行研究；印度之后可能就是德国。CTI同时也在酝酿一幅"公路图"，目的就是为了让各地的女性更好地找到后台。
