參考譯文:菲利普•格林曾被稱為“英國最速成的億萬富翁”。兩年前他以1英鎊價格將英國百貨公司轉讓給多米尼克•查普爾,引發一連串事件,令這家1927年在布里克斯頓區開業的零售公司崩潰,自此,他的形象開始瓦解。
重要背景介紹:
2016年英國百貨公司(BHS)的相關破產消息曝出以來,因其影響面廣而引發了英國社會的普遍關注,約有1.1萬名雇員將面臨失業。另外英國議員也對菲利普•格林在經營這家企業過程中的所作所為進行了激烈的批評,認為上層管理者等“食利階級”將企業掏空,在獲得巨額財富的過程中榨干了BHS。原來尚處于健康狀況的養老金項目在企業出售后出現了巨額黑洞。許多議員因此要求褫奪菲利普•格林的騎士爵位,抨擊其為“資本主義不可接受的面孔”。
明天的句子:
