In France, with many factories closing, a wave of executive hostage-taking – “bossnapping,” as this newfangled crime is called – is agitating board rooms and police across the country. In the United States, big bonuses given to executives from firms receiving billions of dollars in taxpayer bailouts – the insurance giant AIG, in particular – has infuriated public opinion, with a populist press and Congress fueling popular rage.
在法国，随着许多工厂倒闭，一股绑架经理人的浪潮——这种最新流行的犯罪方式被称为“挟持老板”——正搅动着整个国家的董事会议室和警察局。在美国，大笔的奖金被发放给拿到数十亿美元纳税人援助的公司的管理者——特别是保险业巨人AIG——这种现象已经激怒了公众舆论，而民粹主义的媒体和国会又为公众的愤怒火上浇油。
