S:
But today, a disruption to family fortunes can not longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.
但是今天,家庭财富的扰乱,就不能再用生活伴侣的额外收入弥补了,在相反的情况下,这个伴侣是呆在家中的。
但是现在,家庭收入出了问题,就再不能指望妻子去找份工作,用这份工作的额外收入来弥补了,而在以前就可以,因为她们本来没工作,是呆在家里的。
From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders.
可以理解的是,从中产阶级的角度看,这一切在很大程度上,与其说像行使更多经济责任的一个机会,不如说更像经济风险往他们已经不堪重负的肩膀上大量转移的一个可怕的加速。

Heads will
roll.
Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them — especially in America — the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity.
正当各家企业的老板和董事会总算解决了他们最严重的那些财务和纪律问题,并且改善了他们脆弱的公司治理时,一个新的问题可能会让他们 — 尤其那些在美国的企业 — 得到负面的媒体报道,这些报道不可避免的会导致管理层的某些人被解雇:信息不安全。
Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.
以前,信息保护一直都被留给那些临时的、低层次的员工去解决,而且一直被看做是只有那些需要大量信息的行业才有的问题,而现在,信息保护成为各种企业的管理者的头等大事。
