Valeant’s business model was buying other drug firms, cutting costs and yanking up prices. Since 2010 it has done $35 billion of deals, mainly financed by debt. At a time when Americans face stagnant living standards, a strategy based on squeezing customers was bound to encounter political hostility—“I’m ing after them,” Hillary Clinton has vowed.


词汇突破:1.yank up 上升

          2.Finance (动词)提供资金

          3.At a time when= when 当…的时候,(强调就是这个时间)

          例句:At a time when I was a little boy, my mother used to tell me to be polite to others.

在我还是个小孩的时候,我妈妈就常告诉我对别人要有礼貌。

          4. stagnant 停滞的,不景气的,萧条的

          5. squeeze 压榨

          6.be bound to 一定

          7. encounter 遇到

          8. political hostility 政治上的敌意

          9. vow 发誓

解析: 1. Valeant’s business model was buying other drug firms, cutting costs and yanking up prices.

        Valeant公司的商业模式是收购其他的制药公司,减少开支,提高价格。

     2. Since 2010 it has done $35 billion of deals, /mainly financed by debt. 

       从2010以来,这家公司完成了350美金的交易,而且主要是通过借债来获得的资金。

3. At a time when Americans face stagnant living standards, a strategy (based on squeezing customers定语) was bound to encounter political hostility—“I’m ing after them,” Hillary Clinton has vowed.

       当美国人面对停滞的生活标准时(当美国人生活不景气时),建立在压榨消费者基础上的商业策略一定会遇到政治上的敌意。希拉里克林顿就发誓:我一定会盯着他们的。

今天的任务:

America offers lessons for Europe. The decline of for-profit higher education is one reason Barack Obama could oversee a fall in the share of 18- to 24-year-olds attending university, argues Mr Rosen. It need not be like this. Students can benefit from being treated as consumers. But regulation is needed. Providers should be transparent about admissions and employment data. Failing private colleges should be shut down. Across Europe, students are looking beyond traditional options when deciding their future. vernments should be equally open-minded.

( 现在经济学人也在简化语言,越来越是长短句相结合。)
