OG-10

最后一段话：

Perhaps the most brazen case occurred when the ITC

investigated allegations that Canadian companies were

injuring the United States salt industry by dumping

(35) rock salt, used to de-ice roads. The bizarre aspect of the

complaint was that a foreign conglomerate with United

States operations was crying for help against a United

States company with foreign operations. The “United

States” company claiming injury was a subsidiary of a

(40) Dutch conglomerate, while the “Canadian” companies

included a subsidiary of a Chicago firm that was the

second-largest domestic producer of rock salt.

这些company一会用引号，一会不用引号，被搞晕了。

比如The “United States” company是指设在美国的公司呢还是属于美国人的公司?

这段话怎么翻译呢?太晕了…

看到OG第57题的解释的时候，终于明白了：

The last paragraph discusses a specific case in which a United States subsidiary of a Dutch conglomerate accused a Canadian branch of a United States company of “dumping” rock salt in the United States market.
