關于香蕉的英文閱讀：Going bananas購買香蕉

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

奇基塔一直努力作為一個好企業，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.

有時你使出渾身解數來取悅對方，但仍毫無結果。這就像是在奇

基塔身上發生的一樣，美國奇基塔公司是世界上一個大的香蕉及其他

水果供應商。盡管幫助于生態保護斗士，社會積極分子及其組織，但

是奇基塔公司沒得到什么好處。

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.

環保組織"森林倫理"(ForestEthics)發起環保運動后，奇基塔公司

11月承諾不再從加拿大焦油砂中提取燃油。提取這種燃油是一個污染

環境的過程。環保人士竭力阻止加拿大通往美國的Keystone XL輸油

管道的修建。奇基塔公司告訴環保組織"森林倫理"(ForestEthics)，在

其船運中他們不再使用這種燃油，同時也避免將這種燃油使用于陸運。

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.

這樣的舉動或許能討好環保人士，但是激怒了依賴于這種燃油產

業的加拿大人。一個稱為的商業主義游說團體呼吁抵制

奇基塔公司的產品，據稱這將損失公司一大筆錢。奇基塔公司不會量

化其損失。

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世紀90年代末，當時還是聯合果

品公司，把操控著一些的中美洲國家戲稱為"香蕉共和國"。然而，近

幾年，該公司同像雨林聯盟這樣的激進分子組織在促進社會責任和提

升可持續發展能力上作出了巨大的努力。該公司總裁兼首席執行官費

爾南多.阿格里在公司最新社會責任報告中寫到，"我們能做好事同時也

能做好"，該報告發行于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.
