The government has announced an ambitious programme to modernize the railway network.

政府宣布了一项高要求的计划,使铁路网现代化。

The company is caught in a double bind. If it doesn’t modernize it won’t make money, but if it does modernize they’ll have to make people redundant because they won’t need them any more.

这家公司进退两难。不实行现代化就无法盈利,要实行现代化就会有冗员,因为公司将不再需要他们。
