关于香蕉的英文阅读：Going bananas购买香蕉

Chiquita has tried hard to be good—and got no credit for it.

奇基塔一直努力作为一个好企业，但一直得不到信任。

SOMETIMES you bend over backwards to plea, but still get

nowhere. That is what appears to have happened to Chiquita

Brands, an American firm which is one of the world's biggest

suppliers of bananas and other fruit. Despite accommodating

eco-warriors, social activists and unions, it has found little reward.

有时你使出浑身解数来取悦对方，但仍毫无结果。这就像是在奇

基塔身上发生的一样，美国奇基塔公司是世界上一个大的香蕉及其他

水果供应商。尽管帮助于生态保护斗士，社会积极分子及其组织，但

是奇基塔公司没得到什么好处。

After a campaign by a green group called ForestEthics,

Chiquita agree d in November to avoid fuel from Canadian tar

sands. Extracting this oil is a dirty process. Environmentalists have

worked furiously to block a pipeline, called Keystone XL, which

would carry it from Canada to America. Chiquita told ForestEthics

that it does not u such fuel in its ships and agreed to avoid its

u in lorries.

环保组织"森林伦理"(ForestEthics)发起环保运动后，奇基塔公司

11月承诺不再从加拿大焦油砂中提取燃油。提取这种燃油是一个污染

环境的过程。环保人士竭力阻止加拿大通往美国的Keystone XL输油

管道的修建。奇基塔公司告诉环保组织"森林伦理"(ForestEthics)，在

其船运中他们不再使用这种燃油，同时也避免将这种燃油使用于陆运。

This may have plead environmentalists, but it infuriated

Canadians who depend on the oil industry. A pro-business lobby

called is urging a boycott of Chiquita's products

that is said to be costing the company a fortune. Chiquita would

not quantify its loss.

这样的举动或许能讨好环保人士，但是激怒了依赖于这种燃油产

业的加拿大人。一个称为的商业主义游说团体呼吁抵制

奇基塔公司的产品，据称这将损失公司一大笔钱。奇基塔公司不会量

化其损失。

Chiquita traces its origins to the late 1890s and the United

Fruit Company, which treated some of the Central American

countries it operated in as banana republics. In recent years,

however, the firm has made huge efforts to promote social

responsibility and sustainability, working with activist groups

such as the Rainforest Alliance. "We can do good and do well at

the same time," Fernando Aguirre, the firm's chief executive,

wrote in the company's latest social responsibility report, issued

in 2008.

追溯奇基塔公司的起源可到19世纪90年代末，当时还是联合果

品公司，把操控着一些的中美洲国家戏称为"香蕉共和国"。然而，近

几年，该公司同像雨林联盟这样的激进分子组织在促进社会责任和提

升可持续发展能力上作出了巨大的努力。该公司总裁兼首席执行官费

尔南多.阿格里在公司最新社会责任报告中写到，"我们能做好事同时也

能做好"，该报告发行于2008年。

Chiquita has signed and largely upheld a global agreement

with local and international food unions. It has embraced

sustainable farming techniques and allows products to be

certified for environmental and other standards. Last year it

promid to promote more women and to ensure there is no

xual harassment on the plantations it owns and buys from. But

that has not provided protection from big retailers buying

bananas direct from plantations and bypassing Chiquita and its

main rivals, Dole and Fresh Del Monte Produce.
