political trap Explanation: Just agreeing with you really! However, a few things: I'm guessing 顧客志向に政治の罠 (lit. there is a political trap in customer orientation) is along the lines of "(falling into) the political trap of making policy based on public opinion/giving people what they want, etc". 政治の罠にはまる国民のだらしなさとマスコミをうまく利用して次々と法案を成立させている今の国会の仕組みに誰も気が付かないのが情けない。 ... http://tinyurl.com/27bnbz Also, I'm sure you realize these are two separate phrases, not a single sentence. If you're translating the article, probably best to leave title till last so that you can fully relate it to the content -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2007-02-14 12:01:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, this quote suggests the opposite doesn't it? - people falling into the political trap of... voting for the party with the best PR, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2007-02-14 12:15:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This may help: (from a restricted access journal) ..."being consumer-oriented and meeting consumer demand” creates a political trap:. “How will the government pay for the increased demand it creates” also: A policy of devaluation may be technically possible, but it is politically unfeasible. This is true today and will be even more so in the future, as the rapidly ageing population tends to increase the political weight of the savers. Japan is in an economic and political trap from which it may only free itself by radical political change. http://www.cesifo-group.de/portal/page?_pageid=36,102910&_da... |

Politics interferes Explanation: I would have to read the article itself, but I am pretty sure that this means that politics is getting in the way of customer orientation. When business is trying to do things with a "customer first" mindset, the governement is preventing the business from doing things that way. The second line of the headline refers to the nature of that government policy which keeps changing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 hrs (2007-02-14 21:17:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks Mari for your comment. I might add my translation to the headline: Politics interferes with customer-first How do we deal with almighty and elusive government? |
