There are two more points to do with corporate crime that I'd like to illustrate with reference to a specific event which occurred several years ago.
还有两点跟企业犯罪有关,我将以几年前发生的具体案件为例,加以说明。
This was an explosion of a large oil tanker which caused the loss of more than fifty lives of the crew.
这是一场大型油轮爆炸,造成50多名船员丧生。
It was an explosion which never should have happened and a subsequent inquiry laid the blame not on anyone
这是一起本不应该发生的爆炸,随后的调查没有将责任归咎于
who had actually been on the tanker at the time, but on the owners of the tanker.
当时实际在油轮上的人,而是归咎于这只油轮的所有者。
They had deliberately decided not to carry out necessary repair work on the tanker as it was due to be sold,
他们故意决定不对油轮进行必要的维修工作,因为它马上要售出了。
and it was this lack of repair work which was directly responsible for the explosion.
正是缺少维修工作才直接导致了爆炸。
Now this illustrates two points to do with corporate crime.
这说明了与企业犯罪有关的两点。
First of all, that it does not have to be intentional.
首先,不能是故意行为。
The owners of the tanker certainly did not intend it to explode.
油船的主人肯定不是蓄意让它引爆。
