今天要讲的英语词是whistle-blower. Whistle-blower的意思是吹哨人。在英语里指的是揭发内部违规的人。《华盛顿邮报》最近在头版报道波音公司的新闻时,所写的标题就是:"Boeing Parts and Rules Bent 1, Whistle-blowers say," 意思就是"据揭发,波音公司零部件不合格,管理制度松懈"。目前波音公司和吹哨人已经打起了官司。这个被称为whistle-blower lawsuit 2的案件由美国的地区法院处理。


美国国会在安然公司倒闭,大批投资人受害的案件发生后,于2002年通过保护投资者法案,并且特别加进了保护吹哨人的条款。今天的每天一词是whistle-blower,意思是吹哨人。 在英语里指的是揭发内部可疑问题的人。谢谢收听。
