在下愚见，若有冒犯之处敬请谅解：
1 The committee had bipartisan support, unlike the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which reported in January. （该委员会与金融危机调查委员会在1月发布的报告不同，前者得到了两党的支持。）
译文对原文中which后的修饰成分没有处理好。如果译成“与一月份提交报告的金融危机调查委员会不同，该委员会获得了两党支持。”可能要更符合原文结构些。

2 The IMF released its twice-yearly projection of world economic growth, forecasting that global GDP will increase by 4.4% this year. （国际货币基金组织公布了它两年一次的世界经济增长预测，预计全球GDP今年会增长4.4%）

twice-yearly 应该是“一年两次”的意思吧，楼主刚好反了。呵呵

By the way, 在下不才，把自己译的贴出来与大家交流交流，虚心接受各位的批评！

Business this week
本周商情

An independent commission looking at reforms to Britain’s banking industry produced its interim report. The Vickers commission recommended that systemically important banks should set aside 10% of capital as a buffer against hard times and ring-fence their retail operations. It also proposed that Lloyds Banking Group, Britain’s biggest retail bank, should dispose of more branches. The outlines were generally welcomed, though critics grumbled that the commission had retreated from advocating a more drastic shake-up of the industry.
对英国银行业改革进行关注的独立委员会给出期中报告。维氏委员会建议具有系统重要性的银行应留出10%的资本以应对低潮并限制其零售运营体系。委员会还指出英国最大的零售银行劳埃德集团应裁掉更多支行。尽管有人抱怨委员会并未提出进行更为果断的变革，但总的来说，这些提议是可以接受的。

How it all happened
事起缘由

A Senate committee produced an investigative report, assembling thousands of e-mails and other correspondence, into events and practices on Wall Street leading up to the banking collapse of 2008. It reserved some of its heaviest criticism for Goldman Sachs. The committee had bipartisan support, unlike the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, which reported in January.
参议院做了一份关于导致2008年华尔街银行破产事件及案例调查报告，该报告收集了上千封电子邮件及其他信函。其对高盛集团的一些激烈言辞有所保留。与一月份提交报告的金融危机调查委员会不同，该委员会获得了两党支持。

Federal bank regulators issued a cease-and-desist order against America’s largest mortgage providers, including Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, requiring them to overhaul their foreclosure practices and intensify efforts to mitigate losses for borrowers. Talks over a separate settlement between the banks, state attorneys-general and the Justice Department remain bogged down.
联邦银行监管机构发出指示要求美国最大按揭服务机构（包括美国银行及摩根大通）停止及终止提供抵押贷款，它还要求彻底改革止赎权，加大力度减轻贷款人损失。银行，司法部长及司法局关于独立结算的谈判陷入僵局。

NYSE Euronext said it would stick with a merger bid proposed by Deutsche Börse, rejecting a rival, and higher, offer made jointly by NASDAQ OMX and IntercontinentalExchange. The owner of the New York Stock Exchange insists that a tie-up with the German bourse would be of greater benefit.
纽约-泛欧证券交易所称将继续执行德意志交易所提出的并购价，并拒绝纳斯达克OMX集团与美国洲际交易所共同制定的具有竞争性的高报价。纽约证券交易所负责人坚称与德国股票交易所合作将会大有裨益。

Jean-Claude Trichet defended the decision of the European Central Bank to raise interest rates for the first time in three years. The ECB lifted its main rate from 1% to 1.25% on April 7th to tackle inflation in the euro zone.
让-克劳德-特里谢（Jean-Claude Trichet）为欧洲央行三年来首次提高利率这一决策进行了辩解。欧洲央行4月7日将主要利率从1%提高至1.25%以应对欧元区所面临的通胀问题。

Inflation in Britain unexpectedly fell in March, to 4%, as retailers slashed prices to entice reluctant consumers. The news will affect the Bank of England’s thinking on whether and when to raise interest rates this year.
随着零售业商人们降低价格以吸引顾客，英国的通胀率于三月突然下降至4%。该消息使得英国央行关于今年是否提高利率以及何时提高这一决策受到影响。

The IMF released its twice-yearly projection of world economic growth, forecasting that global GDP will increase by 4.4% this year. The fund said that concerns were fading over a “double-dip” recession, though the recovery could be threatened by higher commodity prices, especially oil. Regarding Japan, the IMF recognised that the “immediate fiscal priority is to support reconstruction” after last month’s earthquake, but urged the country to link such spending to a clear strategy for reducing public debt.
国际货币基金组织公布了一年两次的世界经济增长规划，它预测今年全球GDP将会增长4.4%。该组织称尽管高昂的商品价格，尤其是高油价会威胁经济回升，但是人们关于“双底”型衰退的担忧有所减弱。至于日本，国际货币基金组织承认自上月地震之后，“其当前财政重点放在支援震后重建工作上”，但它主张日本应将用于震后重建的开支与降低国债这一明确战略相结合。

Glencore’s announcement that it plans to list up to 20% of its shares in an initial public offering excited the markets. For months investors have been waiting for the world’s biggest commodities-trading company to confirm rumours that it would float on the stockmarket. Swiss-based Glencore’s IPO is expected to raise up to $11 billion.
嘉能可关于计划让其20%的股份上市的声明激起股市一阵骚动。几个月来，投资者期待着世界最大商品交易公司证实其即将上市的传言。总部设于瑞士的嘉能可其首发新股有望上升至110亿美元。

Paying for wrong decisions
为错误决策埋单

Renault’s chief operating officer stepped down over a scandal surrounding wrongful accusations of corporate espionage. The carmaker’s head legal counsel, boss of human resources, general secretary and security chief also resigned. In January Renault sacked three executives for allegedly selling company secrets, but it soon emerged that it had been duped by fraudsters. The government made clear it expected heads to roll. Carlos Ghosn, Renault’s chief executive, managed to hold on to his.
雷诺运营总监因间谍丑闻受到不公正的指控而下台，该公司的首席法律顾问，人事部主管，秘书长及治保主任也纷纷辞职。一月，雷诺公司因听信公司机密被倒卖的传言解雇了三名高管。但是很快真相查清，三位高管是受人蒙骗。政府明确表示希望严惩肇事者。雷诺首席执行官卡洛斯戈恩保住了职位。

In Detroit a Chinese engineer who worked for Ford was sentenced to six years in prison for copying sensitive company documents on engine systems before he left to join a Chinese carmaker.
在底特律，一名曾任职于福特公司的中国设计师因在离职赴任中国某汽车厂前复制公司引擎系统机密文件而被判入狱六年。

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s boss, had a mixed week. An appeals court threw out a claim by the Winklevoss twins that they were misled over the true value of Facebook in a settlement that noted their input as Harvard students into creating the social-networking site (as portrayed in the film “The Social Network”正如《社交网络》中所演的那样). But after their case was dismissed, new evidence was submitted in a separate dispute over the ownership of Facebook— Paul Ceglia, another former acquaintance of Mr Zuckerberg, says a development deal between the pair entitles him to a large chunk of the company.
脸谱老总马克•扎克伯格本周过得浑浑噩噩。上诉法庭否决了温克莱沃斯兄弟的索赔要求，这对兄弟认为在对哈佛读书时创建社交网站投入的和解协议中他们就脸谱的实际市值受到了误导（《社交网络》的真实上演）。在这项案子被驳回之后，新一项关于脸谱所有权之争的证据又被提上法庭——马克•扎克伯格以前的熟人保罗•塞格里亚称他俩之间的一项发展协议使自己有权分得公司大额股份。

Flip flops
Flip落幕

Cisco decided to stop making the popular Flip video camera as part of its strategy to rein in its troubled consumer-products division and refocus on its core businesses. Cisco bought Flip in 2009 for $590m. The small device spurred many copycat gadgets, but smartphones now incorporate better video technology.
作为经营策略的一部分，思科决定停止生产其热销产品Flip 视频摄像机以控制麻烦的消费者产品分歧，并重新侧重于其核心业务。思科于2009年以5.9亿购买下Flip。这个小装置促使许多山寨装置纷纷出现，不过现在的智能手机已较好地结合了视频技术。
