本題測驗考生對商業與公共政策相關專業詞彙的掌握度,如『企業管理失當』、『監管鬆散』與『自行認證』等。作答時應善用名詞化結構(如 corporate mismanagement)與關係代名詞(如 which claimed...),以避免中式英文並提升句型的層次感。同時,轉折副詞與分詞構句的運用能使長難句的邏輯脈絡更加清晰流暢。
【譯文】 Boeing was once the epitome of American aerospace engineering, but in recent years, it has become a prime example of the risks associated with corporate mismanagement and lax oversight. This crisis began with two fatal 737 MAX crashes—occurring in Indonesia in 2018 and Ethiopia in 2019 respectively—which claimed a total of 346 lives. Investigations indicated that the primary cause of the accidents stemmed from a flawed automated flight control system (MCAS). More shockingly, Boeing failed to adequately disclose the risks of this system to pilots and regulators. Subsequent probes revealed that Boeing's internal corporate culture placed excessive emphasis on rapid time-to-market and shareholder interests at the expense of engineering quality and safety standards. Worse still, during the aircraft certification process, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) relied heavily on Boeing's self-certification, sparking profound public skepticism over whether the regulatory body had succumbed to industry pressure and lost its independence. 【重點詞彙/句型】
