In the early 1960s, the shipping companies cashed in on government grants and tax concessions.政府资助和减税优惠Let's cash in on the fine weather and go10.In the19th century, competition between sailing-ships and steam-ships became cut-throat, and price-cutting ruined many long-established companies. 老牌公司11．It was in fact a cartel, though the British ship-owners gave it the more dignified name of a “conference”.

But they make it easier to weather the bad times, because there is no mad, competitive scramble for the available trade.14. the quadrupling oil price15. By 1974, the industrialized world had begun its slide into the worst depression since the 1930s.16. As oil demand cut back, charter rates plummeted, and the estuaries of t he world became jammed with the steadily increasing numbers of moth-ball tankers.17. By 1976, the slump had begun to bite into the bulk carrier trade. Bulk carriers are ships that carry dry cargo of one particular kind, such as sugar, coal or wheat, with iron core being by far the most important. 驳船生意18．With the world steel industry deep in the doldrums, who need iron ore carriers?19. With its big bulk carrier fleet , the British shipping industry now began to feel the pinch.20.

Liner ships carry all sorts of different cargoes—mainly finished manufactured goods—so, if there is a slump in one particular industry, provided there is still buoyancy in other industries, the line fleets can still survive (iv)them a distinct advantage over…工业制成品24．Much of Britain …s liner fleet rarely sees a British port. Our ships are extensive cross-trader.远洋国际商船25．Until recently, those routes were highly profitable for the Britishcompanies, and a major source of foreign currency for Britain. They are also the routes on which the Third World and the Russians are out to make the biggest inroads.26. Most emerging countries in the Third World are out to carry a bigger share of their trade in their own ships. Developing countries regard a merchant navy as something of a status symbol—the next thing to go for after a national airline.27.But P&O has no intention of throwing in the towel. The key tactic behind its strategy of holding on to the richest slice of the trade has been to move up-market—to go where the Third World cannot follow: into high-technology investment.丰厚的利润/ 高端市场28．Put up the money to pioneer the international deep-sea container service. / warehouse /dockside…and they are very secure against theft; except for a code number on the outside, there is no indication of what is inside the box.29…. Is far from being the whole answer to the Third Worldthreat. The developing countries are not out to compete with Western fleets by commercial means; they want to impose a set of rules which will guarantee them a major slice of the shipping trades.30.This demand has found official expression in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD. The UNCTAD liner code lays down that…正式提出/ 海运法规31．Revenue / Not enough countries have ratified the UNCTAD code yet to bring it into force. But if it does become universal, it could strike a severe blow to Britain?s liner trade.32.The Iron curtain countries represent an even greater and more organized threat to the future of Britian?s liner ships, and it is a threat that is much more difficult to counter/respond to.33…the growth in either its own trade or world trade would justify.

So this mercantile marine capability is certainly a great advancein the Soviet ability to project their power at some distance from their own frontiers.40.

Ship-owners fear that saving jobs in Britain?s ailing shipyards comes well before saving its merchant fleet.病入膏肓的造船业45．British shipyards are currently churning out 24 vessels for Poland. The Poles were lured to Britain by the gift of a ￡28 million sunsidy and the promise that British shipbuilders would raise all the credit, so while our shipping fleet is under attack from communist ships, our government is using British taxpayers? money to cut their shipbuilding costs. 英国的造船厂最近正在为波兰赶制24艘船只。

Britannia Rues（对…感到后悔） theWaves大不列颠望洋兴叹Britain’s merchant navy（（一个国家的）商船，商船队）seldom grabs the headlines these days; it is almost a forgotten industry. Yet shipping is the essential lifeline for tha nation’s economy. Ninety-nine percent of our trade in and out of the country goes by ship--and over half of it in British ships.英国商船队的大名如今已很少见诸报纸上的大字标题，它已几乎被人们遗忘。
然而，海运业今天依然是英国经济的主要命脉，我国的内外贸易商品99％要靠海洋运输——其中一大半是通过英国商船运输。
Shipping is also a significant British success story. Over £1000 million a year in foreign exchange earnings：without our merchant fleet, the balance of payments would be permanently in deficit（永久赤字）, despite North Sea oil. But, today this vital（极其重要的）British industry is more in peril（危险）than ever before. On almost all the major routes of the world, the British fleet risks being elbowed out（挤出）by stiff（严厉的）foreign competition.海运业在英国占有举足轻重的地位，是个兴旺发达的行业，它一年可赚取10 亿多英镑的外汇。

身旁一棵本就普通的松树，却被修剪成了别致的盆景，在脚下射灯的烘托下，有韵地泛着通体的绿。就像被变了发型的少女，着一袭绿衣，驻足路旁，美滋滋地清点着那数也数不过来的回头率。 nba如何买球
因为疫情，街道并没有多少人，偶尔有三三两两的人擦肩而行。慢慢悠悠，消遣自在，仿佛回到了《从前慢》，慢得一生只够干一件事，一天只够说上一句话的节奏。声声慢，慢悠扬，整个人都变 得舒缓靓丽。
紫金山顶上高高耸立的电视塔，通体亮着淡雅的鹅黄，像天界的琼楼玉阁悄然而至，那光亮宛如仙女的酮体，圣洁如初。塔脚下缓坡处，顺着山势匍匐于地的射灯，齐刷刷地亮起，众星捧月般将那 圣洁托举。收回你脱缰的思绪，眨眼间，那射灯又变成一群忠心耿耿的大臣，正在听候天皇的指令。而塔脚侧面，顺着山脊而下亮起的星星点点的灯带，就像那圣洁就要踏歌而行来到山的脚下。那般自 然，和谐得混为一体。
