麥當(dāng)勞中國供應(yīng)商被處創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄環(huán)保罰單.

麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald’s)的品牌在中國進(jìn)一步受損。麥當(dāng)勞一家供應(yīng)商因違反污水管理規(guī)定被處以了一筆最大的環(huán)保罰款。喜愛英語學(xué)習(xí)的小伙伴們可以通過下面的雙語新聞來了解詳細(xì)內(nèi)容。

　　Beijing Simplot, a Chinese joint venture involving J.R. Simplot of the US, supplies French fries and hash browns to McDonald’s in China, one of its biggest global markets.北京辛普勞食品加工有限公司(Beijing Simplot)是美國辛普勞(J.R. Simplot)在中國成立的一家合資企業(yè)，向麥當(dāng)勞中國供應(yīng)炸薯條和炸薯餅。中國是麥當(dāng)勞最大的全球市場之一。

　　The latest scandal involved not food quality but environmental regulations — another sensitive topic in China as public opposition is growing to air and water pollution.這起最新丑聞關(guān)涉的不是食品安全，而是環(huán)保監(jiān)管。在公眾對空氣和水污染越發(fā)反感之際，環(huán)保監(jiān)管成了中國的另一個敏感話題。

　　State media reported that the chip supplier had allowed polluted water to flow into city pipes where it was processed by a waste water treatment plant. Beijing Simplot said it had accepted and paid the Rmb4m ($650,000) fine imposed by the Beijing city government, its highest environmental protection fine.中國國有媒體報道稱，這家薯條供應(yīng)商將部分污水排入市政管網(wǎng)，不過污水已由污水處理廠進(jìn)行了處理。北京辛普勞表示，其已接受處罰決定，并繳納了北京政府部門處以的約400萬元人民幣(合65萬美元)罰款——這是環(huán)保領(lǐng)域罰款金額最高的一次處罰。
