At most of the important crossings there is a plan of the streets(Lombard Street; Ohio Street; Market Street; and so on)cut into the stone of the sidewalk so that you can look down and see where you are

||1: “Stéphane Richard is far more attuned to the market than Didier Lombard ,” says Xavier Niel, founder of Iliad, a young telecoms firm which has upended the French broadband market.“Under his management France Telecom will become a more dangerous competitor for us.” ||2: Already, while at the finance ministry, Mr Richard demonstrated a strong belief in the beneficial effects of competition by helping Iliad obtain a mobile licence in the face of fierce resistance from the incumbents and their political allies.

||1: Xavier Niel是伊里亚特公司的创建者。这家公司成立时间不长，却逆转性地掌握了法国的宽带业务。Xavier Niel这样评价Richard：“在把握市场这方面，Didier Lombard远逊于Stéphane Richard。在他的领导下，法国电信会成长为更具威胁性的对手。” ||2:当Richard还在财政部供职时，曾协力伊里亚特公司取得3G牌照，尽管面对当局和政治同盟的重重阻力，Richard仍公开表示支持，他深信这样做有利于市场竞争。

||1: When Stéphane Richard appeared recently in Paris Match, a celebrity and news magazine, lightly tanned in an open-necked shirt and leaning jauntily against the corporate logo of his new firm, France Telecom, he raised eyebrows in the buttoned-down world of French telecoms. ||2: Mr Richard did not attend the elite engineering school which produces almost all of France’s senior telecoms executives, including his predecessor at France Telecom, Didier Lombard , and the boss of Vivendi, a rival. ||3: Instead, he is a political operator who has made a fortune in property. ||4: He is a friend of Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s president, and worked until recently as chief of staff to the finance minister. ||5: He became boss of France Telecom last month with the immediate task of responding to a wave of suicides among employees which had prompted a political outcry.

||1: 最近，Stéphane Richard的照片登上了名人新闻杂志《巴黎竞赛画报》，他穿着敞领衬衫，肤色微黑，背靠着公司的标志，看起来很时尚。他新执掌的公司法国电信相当传统，这一举动也让全公司吃了一惊。 ||2: 法国电信业的绝大部分高管都出身著名工程院校，包括Stéphane Richard的前任Didier Lombard，还有法国电信对头公司威望迪集团的老总。 ||3: 和这些人背景不同，Stéphane Richard是个政治活动家，靠房地产起家。 ||4:他是萨科奇的好友，直到最近还是财政部的办公厅主任。||5:上个月他成为法国电信的首席执行长，上任后立即着手处理公司员工自杀潮。此前，法国电信员工的连续自杀曾引发政治抗议。

||1:Mr Richard, a former board member, joined the firm in 2009 as heir apparent to Mr Lombard , with the blessing of the government, which still holds a 27% stake.||2:He was not due to take over until next year, but the handover was accelerated in the midst of the crisis.||3:In an unusual outburst last week, Louis-Pierre Wenes, the group’s former deputy chief executive, who resigned under pressure last year, told a British website that “external stakeholders” in France Telecom had taken advantage of the suicides to advance their agenda.||4:Mr Lombard was not close to the current administration, whereas Mr Richard is.

||1:2009年Richard以董事身份加入电信集团，政府指定他接任Lombard的位置，现在他仍有27%的股份。||2:他本打算明年接手公司，不料自杀潮造成的危机促成了权力交接。||3:去年，前任副总裁Louis-Pierre Wenes迫于压力辞职 ，他在上周向一家英国网站披露了不寻常的内幕：法国电信的某位股东，利用自杀事件夺取公司管理权。||4:现在Richard所在的管理层将Lombard排除在外。

The video opens with the words “Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.” But some say timing is one of the problems.|| Louisa Lombard is a graduate student in Duke University’s Department of Cultural Anthropology.

||朗伯德：“观看该视频的人们获得这样一种印象，这是乌干达北部的问题。||事实上，上帝抵抗军已经多年没有在乌干达北部活动。他们先是转移到了南苏丹，随后转移到刚果民主共和国，进入中非共和国。他们现在在哪是有争议的。”
