1、British Airways and other big airlines in Britain threatened the government with legal action over the quarantine for arrivals that came into force on June 8th. All passengers flying to Britain, including British citizens, must now complete a form stating where they will self-isolate for two weeks, subject to spot-checks（抽查） and fines if they break the rules.
英国航空公司和其他大航空公司威胁起诉政府，要求取消6月8日生效的入境人员隔离措施。如今所有飞往英国的乘客，包括英国公民，都必须填写一份表格，说明他们将在两周内自我隔离的地点并将受到抽查，如果他们违反规定则将被罚款。
The airlines, and the hospitality industry, are livid（暴怒的）,believing more travelers will stay away, causing irreparable（不可弥补的） damage to their struggling businesses.
航空公司和酒店业都怒不可遏，认为更多的旅客会远离，对他们苦苦挣扎的生意造成不可弥补的损害。
2、Cathay Pacific received a HK $39bn ($5bn) bail-out（紧急财政援助）led by the government of Hong Kong, which will end up with a 6.1%stake（股份） in the airline. Swire Pacific remains the controlling shareholder but its holding has been reduced, as have the stakes of the other big investors, Air China and Qatar Airways. Cathay was in trouble before the outbreak of covid-19.
国泰航空获得了由香港政府牵头的390亿港元（合50亿美元）的纾困资金，最终将获得该航空公司6.1%的股份。太古太平洋仍是控股股东，但其持股比例有所下降，其他大投资者中国国航(Air China)和卡塔尔航空(Qatar Airways)的持股比例也有所下降。国泰在19号病毒爆发前就遇到了麻烦。
Last year its chief executive was pushed out amid pressure on the airline from China over staff who had participated in pro-democracy protests.
去年，在中国对该航空公司施加的压力下，该公司首席执行官被迫离职，原因是该公司的员工参与了支持民主的抗议活动。
3、Hot on the heels（紧跟着）of an aid package for the car industry, the French government announced a €15bn ($17bn) rescue deal for companies working in aviation (including €7bn already earmarked（指定…的用途）for Air France). Bruno Le Maire, the finance minister, said that without the aid a third of jobs could be lost permanently in the industry. Airbus, for example, has slashed（大幅消减）production.
继针对汽车工业的一揽子援助计划之后，法国政府宣布了一项价值150亿欧元（约合170亿美元）的援助协议，以救助航空业的公司（包括已经指定用于法航的70亿欧元）。财政部长布鲁诺勒梅尔说，如果没有援助，该行业三分之一的就业岗位可能会永久流失。例如，空中客车（Airbus）就大幅削减了产量。
