<< review queue entry 49241 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Not thoroughly checked - only referred to J lobby ~ 1) It was approved only after MPRI lobbied the department's Africa desk, arguing that if it was not allowed to do the job, someone else would. 公司向国务院非洲司做了疏通工作，讲明即使不允许他们公司去做这项工作，也会有别人去做--只是在此之后，国务院才批准。 2) 他花了一笔疏通费使案件发生了戏剧性的变化。 GT @ 疏通费 = facilitation payments A common type in this category of bribery is the "facilitating payment" usually a smaller sum of money made to certain customs officials to clear cargoes “疏通费”是这类贿赂中常见的一种形式,一般数额不太大,是为了让货物顺利通过海关给海关官员的钱 dredge - seems to be in dicts, #1 at GT, but very few examples of usage compared to the other senses Sometimes we had to dig ditches many kilometers long, the longest being 30 kilometers. 有时为疏通一条渠道使船出去，要掘几十里（最长的有六十里）的小河沟。 |
