||1:It is also far from clear that Mr Hollande, even if he sees the need to curb public spending, is ready to do it.||2:In its damning report, the Cour des Comptes deplores the fact that tax rises make up three-quarters of 2013 budget savings, and urges a greater effort to cut spending.||3:But this will require an overhaul of pensions and welfare spending, as well as civil-service staffing, none of which is on the table.

||1:而且，即使奥朗德看出有必要控制公共支出，也很难说他已经做好准备。||2:在谴责报告中，Cour des Comptes 强烈反对税收增长占到2013年预算储蓄的四分之三，并督促投入更大努力削减开支。||3:但这意味着在养老金，福利支出以及公务员职务等方面会有大幅调整，而这样的调整并不在议程上。

What followed in October was, therefore, sprung on an unsuspecting public.|| After a damning report on French competitiveness by Louis Gallois, a left-leaning industrialist, Mr Hollande announced 20 billion euros of tax breaks for companies employing low-wage labour, to compensate for high social charges.|| A sense of urgency and realism began to creep in. Mr Gallois talked of an “emergency situation”. For the first time, the government acknowledged labour cost as a factor behindFrance’s loss of competitiveness to Germany over the past ten years. Mr Hollande even started talking of cutting public spending, which accounts for over 56% of GDP. This was followed in January by an unexpected agreement with the unions to soften labour-market rules, making it easier for companies to reduce hours and wages in a downturn.

1:是以，在十月份接踵而至的事，让不知情的群众为之一震。||2:在路易斯加洛伊斯，一位左倾实业家，发表了一份报告谴责法国的竞争力，此后，奥朗德宣布给予雇佣低薪劳动力的公司200亿欧元的税收减免以补偿高额的社会负担费用。||3:紧迫感与现实主义暗潮汹涌。||4:加洛伊斯认为“事态紧急”。||5:政府前所未有地承认劳动力成本是导致过去十年间法国竞争力逊于德国的一个因素。||6:奥朗德甚至开始考虑削减公众开支，而这占到了GDP的56%以上。||7:紧接着的一月，法国出人意料地和工会达成了宽松劳动市场规则的协定，让公司能更轻松地减少工作时间和工资。

||1: An energetic new film, “No One Killed Jessica”, relates this true story. ||2: It follows Ms Lall’s stubborn younger sister, Sabrina, as she tried to get justice done. ||3: Alone, she didn’t have a chance. ||4: Acolytes of the accused’s powerful family bribed and threatened witnesses. The police were paid off and evidence lost. ||5: The film’s most compelling scene—and one most damning of India’s semi-rotten legal institutions—shows witnesses in turn retracting their original testimony, saying that they could no longer remember the events, and letting a guilty man go free.

||1:一部充满活力的新片——《无人杀害杰西卡》便讲述了这段真实的故事。||2:影片追随莱尔锲而不舍、试图伸张正义的妹妹萨布丽娜。||3:孤身一人的萨布丽娜毫无胜算。||4:被告所在强大家族的助手们对证人威逼利诱，警察也被买通，证据不翼而飞。||5:本片最扣人心弦的场景展示了证人们相继翻供，表示已经忘记了这些事件，并使得罪犯逍遥法外，而这一幕也是对印度部分腐朽的法律制度最严厉的抨击。

||1:Government dithering has not helped.||2:Part of the problem is that several departments are responsible for air pollution.||3:This means nobody has taken a lead on it, complains Joan Walley, a Labour MP who chairs an environmental committee that has released a series of damning reports.||4:And few politicians are keen to bash drivers.||5:Talking to Britons about car ownership is “like talking to an American about hand guns”, quips one air-pollution scientist.
