目前他們平均每年的稅款約二十五億元,相當於一個普通納稅人每年平均所需支付的100倍。哪些從來不屑一顧 / 被漠視的小企業如英國航空和英國電訊等已轉化令成全球欣羨的國際企業.

Corporate Dog

其實沒有一個正式的解釋, corporate dog 只是一個衍生詞. corporate dog 中的 dog, 有貶的成份, 這個 dog 在這裡是名詞亦充當成容詞. 在英文運用中, 用dog 來形容的事或物一般都是比較負面. 其實在這裡也可解作不起眼, 而有可能帶有低水準的意思.

dog (dôg, dŏg)

as nouns - .

1. A domesticated carnivorous mammal (Canis familiaris) related to the foxes and wolves and raised in a wide variety of breeds.
2. Any of various carnivorous mammals of the family Canidae, such as the dingo.
3. A male animal of the family Canidae, especially of the fox or a domesticated breed.
4. Any of various other animals, such as the prairie dog.

Informal.
1. A person: You won, you lucky dog.
2. A person regarded as contemptible: You stole my watch, you dog.

Slang.
1. A person regarded as unattractive or uninteresting.
2. Something of inferior or low quality: “The President had read the speech to some of his friends and they told him it was a dog” (John P. Roche).
3. An investment that produces a low return or a loss.

他們現在支付稅的一年二十五億
(同等物到 100 對於每個納稅人) {(相等的到 100 對於每個納稅人)}

他們目前每年納稅二十五億元,相當於每名納稅人進貢一百大元。

諸如英航和英國電訊等公司已由名不經傳搖身一變成為舉世知名的企業。

corporate dog 一詞的正確意思暫未找到足夠資料,但從上文下理判斷,應是指某些公司的演變過程,既然是from corporate dog into ...the world's most admired companies,那麼corporate dog的地位必然不高,況且英文中的underdog亦有無名小卒的意思,相信這一猜測,不中亦不遠矣。
他們現在支付2.5 十億一年在稅(等效到100 為各個納稅人) 企業中譬如英國航空並且不列顛電信被轉動了從公司狗入一些世界的被敬佩的公司。
