声音简介

No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. “Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?” Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. “You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?” At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It's a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.

没有一家公司乐意听到别人说自己引起了社会的道德败坏。参议员罗伯特•多尔上星期质问时代华纳公司高级人员时说：难道这就是你们要成就的事业吗？你们已经出卖了自己的灵魂，难道你们还非要腐化我们的国家，威胁我们的孩子吗？不过，对于华纳公司而言，这样的质问仅仅体现了（manifestation名词转译动词）自1990年成立以来，其一直在做的自我反思。这种自我反省在不同时期涉及到责任、创作自由和公司底线等问题。
