||1:Jul 27th 2013 |From the print editionON JULY 17th India released its latest poverty figures.||2:They tell an encouraging tale: just under 22% of Indians were below the poverty line in 2011-12, down from over 37% in 2004-05.||3:With an election not far off, these statistics will not go unchallenged.||4:Naysayers are already grumbling that the numbers have been released early to make the government look good.||5:But even as political opponents slug it out, it is worth noting what they are not arguing about.||6:Nobody is saying that a decline in poverty is a bad thing.||7:Nor does anyone dispute that policymakers should try to help large numbers of poor people out of penury.||8:This mirrors a worldwide consensus: whether the United Nations or the World Bank, sundry public officials or high-minded celebrities, everyone thinks that poverty alleviation is both desirable and possible.||9:The debates are about the details.

||1:7月17日，印度公布了最新的贫困人口数据。||2:数据表现出一派令人鼓舞的迹象：2011年至2012年间，生活在贫困线以下的印度人口比例从2004至2005年间的37%以上降至22%以下。||3:该数据公布之时恰逢印度国会大选日益临近，因此注定会引发质疑。||4:质疑者已嚷嚷着这些数据提早发布不过是为了彰显政府的政绩。||5:但是，即使政治对手意欲在此问题上与政府争个高下，可争议之外的东西才是值得人们关注的。||6:没人说贫困人口数下降是一件糟糕的事。||7:当然人们也不会就决策层是否应该试着帮助为数众多的穷人脱离贫困展开争论。||8:这一现象反映出一个已在世界范围内达成的共识：不论是联合国（United Nations）或是世界银行（World Bank），还是形形色色的公职人员或心系苍生的名人，人人都认为扶贫不仅可取，而且可行。||9:所有的争论都关乎于细节问题。

||1: Some partners are said to be grumbling about the scheme. ||2: They will not be able to sell shares at the market price even after they have put in decades of work and want to retire. ||3: That raises questions about whether partners are genuinely incentivised to do well by shareholders. ||4: And even if the bank’s pay policies please the purists, BTG’s governance structure will not. ||5: André Esteves, the bank’s high-voltage billionaire founder, will control around 85% of the bank’s common shares and has “sole discretion” to control the bank’s policies and management, even when a matter has been put to shareholders.

||1:据说，有些合伙人对这份股票限售方案抱怨连连。||2:他们为公司打拼了几十年，现在想退休了，却不能按照市场价卖掉自己的股份。||3:股东对此也抱有疑虑：合伙人们是否得到了真正的激励，能否用心为公司服务。||4:如果说BTG的薪酬政策合了纯粹主义者的心意，它的公司治理结构却没有如此。||5:精力旺盛的亿万富翁安德烈?埃斯特维斯作为公司的创始人，控制着约85%的普通股份额。他可以“全权决定”公司的一切政策和管理事务。即使在某事被提交给股东来决定的情形下，仍是由他说的算。

||1:In part, the end of the Obama era is a moment of political clarity, exposing the oddly transactional nature of his ties to his own party.||2:Mr Obama did not become the Democrats’ champion by explaining what sort of party they needed to be.||3:He won office in 2008 by offering a new, post-racial, post-partisan form of politics, buttressed by the promise of his own life-story and brilliant electoral technology.||4:He kept office in 2012 by turning out an “Obama coalition” that united the young, the poor, non-whites, gays, urban hipsters, unmarried women and affluent liberals.||5:Other Democratic politicians went along for the ride, while grumbling that their president was disappointingly aloof and risk-averse.

||1:在某种程度上，奥巴马时代的结束，是政治透明的标志时刻，也暴露出奥巴马与自己党派间古怪的交易本质。||2:奥巴马不是通过解释他们需要成为什么类型的政党这一问题，而变成民主党领袖。||3:2008年，他提出一个新的、超越种族的、超越党派的政治形式，以他个人人生经历和闪耀的选举技能为支撑，赢得了竞选。||4:2012年，他创建了“奥巴马联盟”，联合了青年、穷人、非白种人、同性恋者、城市嬉皮士、未婚女性以及富裕的自由主义者，他借此得以连任。||5:其他的民主党政客当时只是去凑凑热闹，抱怨奥巴马的冷漠和对风险的规避令人失望。
