镇压监狱犯人间的暴力争斗

||1:WHEN Jeremy Clarkson suggests switching off the VSC on a Toyota GT86 sports car to do better doughnuts around the “Top Gear” test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, his audience is more than likely to know what he is talking about.||2:That audience is huge: “Top Gear” is the world's most widely watched factual television programme, with more than 350m viewers in 214 countries.||3:That presents BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC, with a problem, because on March 10th the broadcaster suspended Mr Clarkson for being involved in what it called a “fracas ” with one of the show's producers.||4:The next episode will not be broadcast and another two may be dropped.

||1:当杰里米·克拉克森在萨里的敦斯福德机场建议将丰田86跑车的车辆稳定性控制系统（VSC）关闭，好让跑车在“疯狂汽车秀”的测试跑道上更好地回旋时，他的观众很可能不知道他到底在说些什么。||2:这个节目观众数量庞大：“疯狂汽车秀”是全球受关注最广的真人电视节目，在214个国家拥有约3亿5千万名观众。||3:这给BBC的一个部门BBC Worldwide（英国广播公司商业公司）带来了麻烦，因为在3月10号，该广播公司辞退了克拉克森，原因是他与该节目的一名制片人发生了所谓的“争吵”。||4:下一集将不会播出，余下两集也可能被砍掉。

||1:Veterans of these brouhahas will recall a case from 1999 in which a Washington official was disciplined for using “niggardly” in a meeting.||2:(The word probably comes from medieval Scandinavia and is unrelated to the racial slur.||3:) Philip Roth turned a true story from 1985 into the crux of his book “The Human Stain” (2000).||4:A professor inquires after two missing students, wondering aloud if they are “spooks”, meaning ghosts.||5:But that term is also an old anti-black insult.||6:The students are black (as, secretly, is he), and the fracas ends his career.

||1:经历过这些闹剧的老手会想到1999年的一个案例，当时一名华盛顿官员因为在会议中使用了“吝啬的”一词而受到纪律处分。||2:（这个词可能源于中世纪的斯堪的纳维亚半岛，且与种族歧视无关）。||3:菲利普·罗斯则将1985年发生的真实事件作为关键改编成了《人性污点》一书，于2000年出版。||4:书中一名教授询问两名缺课的学生，大声质问他们是否是“spooks”，意为幽灵。||5:但“spooks”同时也是很久以前就出现的，带有侮辱之意的歧视黑人的词汇。||6:因为他的学生们都是黑人（他自己也有着黑人血统，但没有公之于众），这次纠纷给他的职业生涯画上了句号。
