As Beijing creeps closer to the notoriously noxious winter season for air pol

问题    As Beijing creeps closer to the notoriously noxious winter season for air pollution, Westerners here are tracking executives’ moves from the city and asking whether pollution is the culprit. U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke’s surprise resignation from his post in Beijing is the latest fodder.
   Locke’s resignation follows a trend I’ve heard for the past few weeks as I’ve asked businesspeople and others in Beijing about pollution’s influence on their decisions to live here, questions I’ve had ever since moving to China’s capital city this year. Invariably, they say pollution is a top factor, especially for those with children, and it’s something that has real influence on those who have a choice about living in China.
   One prominent headhunter in Asia I spoke with this week said in the corporate world, there’s a shortage of executives for CEO roles who want to come to China. Sure, the country’s luster has slightly worn off — there are no longer eye-popping, double-digit GDP growth rates, for one. But the headhunter said it doesn’t matter how much you pay prospective CEOs to come here (or in Locke’s case, how much prestige comes with the job), their decisions often come down to pollution and lifestyle. For some, pollution’s on the top of the list of considerations, for others it’s somewhere in the middle. But it’s an issue for all.
   Locke may never reveal the degree to which pollution affected his decision. But his resignation highlights this truth: Career prestige is one thing, the reality of living in Beijing is another.
选项
答案 本周我采访的一家亚洲知名猎头公司表示，在企业界，想来中国工作的首席执行官的人选始终不足。的确，中国的吸引力已经有所消逝——比如国内生产总值曾以两位数的增长率令人惊叹，如今已经不复存在。但这家公司称，付给那些首席执行官候选人的薪酬高低(或就骆家辉这样的例子来说，这个职位能带来多大的声望)并不是他们考虑的主要因素，他们是否会来归根结底取决于污染和生活方式。污染是有些人考虑的首要因素，对另外一些人来说，它至少也在众多因素中占中间位置。但显然对所有人来说它都是一个大问题。
   骆家辉可能永远也不会透露空气污染对他决定离京的影响到底有多大。但他的辞职还是凸显了一个真相：职业声望是一回事，真正在北京生活又是另外一回事了。
