Rupert Murdoch expressed regret Thursday for his failure to halt what he called “a
cover-up” at his News of the World tabloid over the phone-hacking scandal that continues
to engulf his media empire.
Testifying for a second day at an inquiry into press ethics, the chairman and chief
executive officer of News Corp. said that the extent of hacking had been hidden from h im
and his senior executives, addi ng that they were “all misinformed and shielded.”
There was, Murdoch said, no doubt in his mind “that maybe even the editor, but
certainly beyond that, someone, took charge of a cover-up which we were victim to and I
regret.”
At times combative, at times contrite, Murdoch has said he welcomed his two-day
appearance before the Leveson Inquiry, the longest by any witness, for the chance to put
“certain myths to bed.”
During his testimony Wednesday, he admitted to hobnobbing with various prime
ministers during his 40 years at the center of British life, but denied ever seeking or
receiving government favors.

四、Translate the following passages into Chinese.（每小段 6分，共 30 分）
Most of the nation’s 285 million egg-laying hens spend their lives in spaces no bigger
than a letter-sized piece of paper, barely able to move about freely, turn around or spread
their wings.
Animal-welfare activists have battled state by state for years to change that, taking on
a well-funded egg production industry. As grassroots campaigns go, the activists have
done well, but they knew the fight could go on for years and burn through tens of millions
of dollars while animals continued to suffer.
Now, though, there’s hope for the hens because a strange thing happened on the way
to the next skirmish. The activists and the industry reached a compromise, pending in
Congress, which involves phasing in larger “enriched cages,” with a percentage of the
industry installing new cages every six years for the next 18 years.
The story of how this deal came about holds a larger message for antagonists in
weightier issues such as immigration, climate change and banking regulation: Pay
attention and see how it’s done.
Four years ago, few would have predicted compromise in the great egg fight. In
California in 2008, the United Egg Producers and the Humane Society of the U.S. each
spent $10 million in a battle over Proposition 2, which mandated that chickens be raised in
environments where they could move about freely, producing what are known as cage-free
eggs.
