第40期 马云到底退没退休？这两家媒体还吵起来了……

文本难度：★★☆☆☆ 

（环球时报）马云卸任阿里巴巴集团董事局主席的新闻，一直以来这位被网友戏称了好几年的“爸爸”或许没想到，他的卸任，还让一家知名美国媒体被狠狠“打脸”过……这家知名美媒，就是《纽约时报》。

《纽约时报》曾刊登过这样一篇文章，标题为：

①Alibaba ‘s JackMa, china’s richest man , to retire from company he co-founded中国首富马云，将从他联合创办的企业退休。 词：retire"在韦氏词典的基本释意是to withdraw from one's position or occupation 从某人的职位撤离或退出。

②Mr. Ma is retiring as China’s business environment has soured, with Beijing and state-owned enterprises increasingly playing more interventionist roles with companies.马云即将退休的决定，正值中国的商业环境出现恶化，北京和国有企业对公司运营进行了越来越多的干预。

词：sour基本释意是smelling or tasting of decay ，某物闻起来尝起来有腐烂的味道，但指形势，情况和环境时等同于bad， wrong, 表示恶化。 例如： Lily  our  project gone sour我们的项目黄了，没戏了/情况变糟糕了。

③“He’s a symbol of the health of China’s private sector and how high they can fly whether he likes it or not,” Duncan Clark, author of the book “Alibaba: The House Jack Ma Built,” said of Mr. Ma. “His retirement will be interpreted as frustration or concern whether he likes it or not.”

词： frustration基本释意是the feeling of being annoyed or less confident because you cannot achieve what you want, 当你无法做到你想做到的时候，就会有不自信懊恼的感觉，称之为沮丧感。

纽约时报中文网是翻译文本：不管他愿不愿意，他都是中国私营部门健康程度和远景的一个象征，”《阿里巴巴：马云的商业帝国》一书的作者邓肯·克拉克如此评价马云。“不管他乐不乐意，他的退休将被解读为不满或担忧”。

④《南华早报》导语：An Alibaba spokesman said Ma remains the company’s executive chairman and will provide transition plans over a significant period of time, contrary to a New York Times article that said he was “stepping down” to “retire.” The Times story was taken out of context, and factually wrong, the spokesman said.

阿里巴巴一位发言人说，马云（当时）仍担任公司的执行主席，并将在相当长的一段时间里为公司提供过渡计划，这与《纽约时报》一篇文章中说他将“辞职”然后“退休”的说法截然相反。这位发言人表示，《纽约时报》的报道断章取义，存在事实性的错误。
