英语短文：道德与投资 4

[22] Pax World's largest stockholding is Gap Inc. Friday, Gap (along with some other retailers) lost in its attempt to dismiss a lawsuit accusing it of selling clothes made under sweatshop conditions in the U.S. territory of Saipan. In August, four other defendants in that suit, including Nordstrom Inc. and J. Crew Group Inc., agreed to settle the claims against them by establishing a $ 1.25 million fund to monitor working conditions of their Saipan workplaces.

[23] None of this necessarily means that Gap is a bad company, or culpable in the Saipan case. But it does illustrate the difficulty in making ethical investing decisions.

赌博恶习：

阿妮塔·格林是第三大社会保障共同基金——派克斯世界基金——的社会研究经理，最近她指责博彩业是“一种让美国社会付出毁灭性代价的恶疾”。她注意到美国最大的20个共同基金中的7个拥有1个或多个此类股票，于是呼吁投资者选择那些发誓不买博彩股的基金----也就是她自己所任职的基金。

格林如此激烈反对的博彩对我来说是一种令人快乐的活动。我到赛场去，观看马匹、骑手以及骑手们穿戴的彩色绸制赛马服组成的盛大华丽的场面，并享受着这样的壮观景象，更多的是因为我对结果投了2块或5块钱的注。我喜欢在拉斯维加斯或大西洋城花上一两天的时间。但我一两年才去一次，并把自己一天的花费限制在50或100美元。钱一花完，我就四处溜达，看看风景。
