| 【金融】金融业薪酬面临缩水 Forget the big bonuses; a pay squeeze is coming 2012-02-03 | |
| Say the words “banker pay” to your average voter or politician and these days you will hear an angry hiss. After all, nothing stirs up so much resentment against modern capitalism as the sight of financiers still reaping fat rewards despite failing institutions. On Sunday, the public outrage at Stephen Hester’s bonus persuaded the Royal Bank of Scotland chief executive to turn down a pay award (£1m) that would be considered miserly by other bank bosses in the UK and the US.
如今若与普通选民或政客谈论“银行家的薪酬”，你总能听到愤怒的嘘声。毕竟，没有什么比看到金融家们在金融机构濒临倒闭时仍能拿到丰厚的薪酬更能激起人们对现代资本主义的憎恨了。上周日，苏格兰皇家银行(RBS)行政总裁斯蒂芬•赫斯特(Stephen Hester)在公愤的压力之下，决定放弃一笔100万英镑的奖金——尽管在其他英美银行的老板看来，这笔奖金简直少得可怜。 | |
| 【财经】我们需要警惕葡萄牙债务 Portugal’s debt threatens to create fresh storms for euro 2012-02-03 | |
| Greece, in its desperate struggle to avoid default, is unique. Europe’s policymakers defend this argument until they are blue in the face. But Portugal’s economic slump and grim battle to repay its debts are threatening to prove them wrong – and to place another storm cloud over the euro.
正在竭力避免违约的希腊是特殊情况——欧洲的政策制定者一直坚定捍卫这种观点。 | |
| 【财经】中国利益的两难 The trials of a reluctant superpower 2012-02-03 | |
| In 1793 the Emperor Qianlong airily dismissed the emissary of King George III on the grounds that China was the self-sufficient centre of the world and had no conceivable need of imports. Modern China should be so lucky. As well as foreign technology, Beijing now requires foreign oil, foreign copper, foreign iron ore and heaps of other foreign commodities to sustain its “Made in China” transformation.
1793年，乾隆皇帝轻率地回绝了英王乔治三世(King George III)派来的使节，理由是：中国是全世界的中心，能够自给自足，想不到有什么东西需要进口。现代中国竟然如此幸运。除了外国技术，中国政府现在还需要外国的石油、铜、铁矿石以及大量其它外国大宗商品，以支撑“中国制造”的变革。 | |

| 【财经】短线观点：卖掉你的Facebook股票 Short View_Facebook 2012-02-03 | |
| Facebook wants friends. Its planned initial public offering could value the company at up to $100bn, and it wants to raise $5bn – more than the biggest listings of the dotcom bubble.

| 【财经】Lex专栏：嘉能可/斯特拉塔联姻前景 Lex_Trading places 2012-02-03 | |
| Glencore’s planned buy-out of the rest of Xstrata wins no prizes for originality. After all, Xstrata owes its creation to a $2.5bn coal deal struck a decade ago with Ivan Glasenberg’s commodities trader-miner. Glencore held on to a 34 per cent stake in Xstrata, which Mick Davis has transformed into a diversified miner worth $58bn. The two have discussed a reunion before, but Mr Davis resisted it while Glencore was privately held. However, Glencore’s $10bn initial public offering last year has given it an acquisition currency. The companies say they are discussing an $80bn merger of equals but it should be seen as a normal takeover, with Glencore doing the taking over. So what premium should Xstrata’s minorities demand?
嘉能可(Glencore)收购斯特拉塔(Xstrata)剩余股份的方案，让人看不出什么新意。毕竟，斯特拉塔的创立源于10年前与伊凡•格拉森伯格(Ivan Glasenberg)旗下大宗商品交易商/矿商达成的一次价值25亿美元的煤炭交易。嘉能可持有斯特拉塔34%的股份。米克•戴维斯(Mick Davis)已将斯特拉塔转型成为一家价值580亿美元的多元化矿商。这两家公司以前曾就重新联合进行过谈判，但由于嘉能可是一家私人公司，戴维斯对此进行了抵制。然而，嘉能可去年进行了首次公开发行(IPO)，使自己获得了用于收购的资金。两家公司表示，它们目前正就一项价值800亿美元的“对等合并”进行谈判，但这应当被视为通常的收购，收购方为嘉能可。那么，斯特拉塔的小股东应当索要多大的溢价呢？ | |
| 【财经】Facebook应该取消IPO Facebook ought to ditch its initial public offering 2012-02-03 | |
| At long last Facebook has filed for its initial public offering, the most eagerly-awaited event in Silicon Valley since Google went public in 2004. Having read the prospectus, with its details of how profitable and cash-rich the social networking enterprise is, may I suggest it calls the whole thing off?
终于，Facebook递交了首次公开募股(IPO)申请，这是自谷歌(Google)2004年上市以来，硅谷最令人期盼的事件。可看过了招股书、了解了这家社交网络公司的盈利能力和现金充裕程度之后，我能否冒昧地建议，它取消IPO呢？ | |

| 【财经】仅仅剥夺古德温爵士头衔还不够 The shredding of Sir Fred Goodwin 2012-02-02 | |
| Until yesterday the honours forfeiture committee, a seldom-heard-of cog in the Whitehall machine, had since 1995 recommended that 34 recipients of British medals and titles be stripped of them – among them the Zimbabwean dictator, Robert Mugabe. Now that number has increased to 35 with the decision to take away Sir Fred Goodwin’s knighthood.
截至周二，鲜为人知的白厅机构“荣誉封号取消委员会”自1995年以来已经建议剥夺了34位英国勋章和头衔获得者的荣誉，其中包括津巴布韦独裁者罗伯特•穆加贝(Robert Mugabe)。现在，随着委员会作出剥夺弗雷德•古德温(Fred Goodwin)爵士头衔的决定，这一数字增加到了35个。 | |
