The Boston Globe, one of the most prestigious US newspapers, is being sold for a fraction of what it was worth 20 years ago. The New York Times company bought it for $1.1bn in 1993 but has now agreed to sell it for $70m. 美国最知名报刊之一《波士顿环球报》被低价出售，仅为20年前收购价的零头。1993年，《纽约时报》花费11亿美元收购《波士顿环球报》，但现在却以7000万美元低价售出。 Like many US newspapers, the Globe has been hit by a slump in advertising revenue with circulation declining. The buyer is John W Henry, the main owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball team and Liverpool Football Club. 同许多美国报刊一样，随着纸媒流通性下降，广告收入陷入低谷，《波士顿环球报》大受冲击。收购者名叫约翰·亨利，他同时还是波士顿红袜棒球队和利物浦足球俱乐部的主要拥有者。 In a statement in the Globe, Mr Henry praised the paper's journalistic pedigree: "The Boston Globe's award-winning journalism as well as its rich history and tradition of excellence have established it as one of the most well-respected media companies in the country." 《波士顿环球报》发布声明，亨利先生赞扬这家报纸有传统资讯业界的血统：“《波士顿环球报》发表过的高水准资讯稿、悠久的办报历史和一贯追求完美的作风，成就了这一全国闻名、倍受尊重的媒体公司。” |
