Last year, for example, Global Payments, the sixth-biggest American acquirer, bought Heartland, a smaller rival, for $4.3bn in cash and shares.

就拿去年的一个例子来说吧，美国第六大收购平台——“全球支付”，收购了一家规模相对较小的“中心地带”产业（该公司为“全球支付”的竞争对手），折合现金股票43亿美元。

As the rumpus about Cadbury showed, there is a certain residual wariness in Britain, as in all countries, about foreign takeovers-a fear that acquirers will strip out the business and take it abroad.

正如喧闹的吉百利收购案所显示的，对于外国收购，包括英国在内的各个国家都残存了一些担忧---害怕收购方会剥夺这些业务并移到他国。

The acquisition of such talents, by the maintenance of the acquirer during his education, study, or apprenticeship, always costs a real expense, which is a capital fixed and realized, as it were, in his person.

通过获得者在教育、学习或学徒期间的维持而获得这种才能，总是要花费实际费用，这是一种固定和实现的资本，可以说是在他个人身上。
