Anti-trust: 反托拉斯 [ 2004-07-14 01:00 ] 7月14日,在就微軟利用其影響力簽署特權(quán)合同一事進(jìn)行了調(diào)查之后,日本公平貿(mào)易委員會(huì)(FTC)正式對軟件業(yè)巨頭微軟提出不得違反反壟斷法的警告。外電有這樣的報(bào)道:Software
giant Microsoft Corp. received a warning from Japan's anti-trust regulators
about unfair business practices on Tuesday, but the decision did not carry the
heavy fines the U.S. firm was given in Europe.
trust作為可數(shù)名詞時(shí),可以解釋為“托拉斯”,即企業(yè)間為減少競爭和操縱價(jià)格而成立的組合,anti-是一個(gè)表示"反對"意義的前綴,因此上文中anti-trust的意思就是“反壟斷、反托拉斯”,例如:A
tying arrangement violates antitrust laws.(搭配銷售安排違反了反壟斷法律。)
