四、全文翻译:
? ? ? ?没有一家公司愿意听到别人说自个致使了社会的道德损坏。参议员罗伯特·多尔上星期责问年代—华纳公司打点人员时说:“莫非这就是你们要作用的作业吗?你们现已出卖了自个的魂灵,莫非还非要损坏咱们的国家、挟制咱们的孩子不成?”不过,关于树立于1990年的年代—华纳而言,这样的责问只是是公司进行反思的最新体现,是一种自我反省,在不一样年代已触及到责任、创造安适和公司底线等不一样疑问。(长难句①)
? ? ? ?56岁的现任董事长杰拉德·列文是争论的焦点人物,他于1992年替代已故董事长斯蒂夫·罗斯。财务方面,他承受着使股价增值,削减公司巨额债款的压力。在两笔新的有线电视生意谈妥后,公司债款将抵达173亿美元。他也许诺出售有些资产并对公司进行重组,但如今出资者们仍在着急地等候着。
? ? ? ?我们对说唱音乐的焦虑并没使他的日子好过一些。列文一贯以体现方法为理由来保卫公司的说唱音乐。1992年公司因出品ice-t乐队暴力的说歌唱曲《差人杀手》后倍受呵斥时,列文却将说唱音乐描绘为街头文明的合法表达方法,并说它大约有自个的发泄途径。他在《华尔街日报》一篇专栏文章中写道:“对任何一个民主社会的查验,不在于它能多有用的控制情感的表达,而在所以不是给予了我们最广泛的思考和表达安适,尽管有时这种成果会致使争论和愤恨。咱们不会在任何挟制面前退避。”(长难句②)
? ? ? ? 列文不愿对上星期的争辩做任何谈论,但有痕迹标明,这位明理长至少在某种程度上扔掉了自个强硬的情绪。(佳句)在上个月就摇滚乐的歌词进行谈论的股东会议上,列文声称“音乐不是社会疑问的病因”,他甚至还以自个的儿子为例,他儿子是纽约州布朗克斯的一名教师,上课时用说唱的方法与学生进行交流。(长难句③)但他也谈到了创造安适和社会责任之间要“保相等衡”的疑问,还宣告对一些可以令人恶感的音乐,公司将尽力于拟定一套发行和标识的标准。?
? ? ? ? ?一般来说,年代—华纳公司的15位董事是撑持列文和他为公司拟定的运营战略的。但内部人士泄露其间几位对此事标明担忧。“咱们中的一些人多年来一向晓得,《宪法》第一批改案所规则的安适并非毫无捆绑”,鲁斯说,“我认为与公司有联络的一些人可以迩来才知道到这一点”。
