Ismay

Easy conditions of employment, overgenerous pensions and pay, insufficient emphasis on the risks ( operational and ethical) rather than the rewards of the job these are the corporate equivalent of the lifeboat Ismay stepped into.

宽松的就职条件、过分慷慨的养老金和薪资、过多地强调工作报酬而对风险不够重视（无论是经营风险还是道德风险），这些就相当于伊斯梅登上的救生艇。

Ismay was apparently ordering passengers of both sexes into the lifeboats, but as no one knew who he was, they ignored him.

Ismay显然是让所有的人都上船，但是，由于大家都不认得他，谁也没把他当回事。

Ismay shared his lifeboat with four Chinese stowaways who had been hiding beneath the cover.

Ismay（泰坦尼克号的建造公司白星公司的高管）所坐的救生船上就藏着四个中国的偷渡客。

Immediately upon its receipt, Winston Churchill minuted41 to General Ismay, his principal staff officer:

温斯顿·丘吉尔一收到信，便给参谋长伊斯梅将军传达了一份备忘录：

Ismay came back and reported the bleak news.

伊斯梅回来报告了令人丧气的消息。

designed her from the keel plates up.but the idea was Mr. Ismay's.

但这是伊士美先生的构思。

Ismay: Freud? Who was he? Was he a passenger?

易思迈：弗洛伊德？他是谁？是船上的客人吗？

Mr. Ismay, I would prefer not to push the engines until they've been properly run in.

伊士美先生，引擎是新的，先得让它们跑顺。

The rest of the conversation between the two men has not survived, but it is very likely that Ismay must have been shocked by the news.

没有人知道两个人接下来又谈了些什么。但是很可能伊斯梅一定被这个消息惊呆了。

Well, I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay.

这下可以上头条了，伊士美先生。
