答疑:liuczhiThere is an American television programme about the world's worst occupations called Dirty Jobs. The presenter, a game man called Mike Rowe, has to actually do the job in question. So in one episode, he becomes a professional cow inseminator, in another a sewer inspector. He's helped out with autopsies on putrid whales. He's farmed alligators and he has bred insects. Well, today, we speak to a man who has a job so tough it would rival any of those.
As the head of the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund Costa Mitropoulos is in charge of Greece's privatisation programme. It's his job to sell off Greece's assets in the middle of the crisis-plagued country's deepest slump for generations.
The privatisation process is hugely controversial in Greece. On Sunday the country goes to the polls in what has been described as the most critical elections in the country for three decades. Indeed, the outcome could have repercussions across Europe and the world.《干尽苦差事》是一个美国电视节目,讲的都是世界上最差劲的职业。节目主持人是一个勇敢的男人,他叫马克·罗。他要亲自体验这些节目中的工作。在一期节目中,他担当了一个专业的为牛受精的工作人员,在另一期中他又当上了下水道检测员。他曾帮助解剖腐烂的鲸鱼尸体,饲养过鳄鱼,还繁殖过昆虫。而今天,与我们交谈的这个男人所做的工作难度要远超过马克所作的这些。
作为希腊共和国资产发展基金主席,科斯塔·米乔普勒斯负责希腊的私有化项目。他的任务是在这个饱受经济危机折磨的国家最严重的一次衰退,可以说是世代难遇的这样的时机里,出售希腊资产。
私有化过程在希腊饱受争议。周日,这个国家将会进行民意测验,这次投票可看作是30年来这一国家最关键的选举。的确,选举结果将会在欧洲甚至世界范围内引起反响。 |
