事件引起中央和省领导的高度重视

乍一看，没什么名堂，但其实这里有两层意思，一是“引起（注意）”(it made them sit up and take notice)，二是“高度重视”(they decided not to treat it lightly)。

The incident caught the attention of central and provincial leaders, who took it very seriously.

“规模以上企业”
要翻成英语很麻烦。若是给出规模的定量标准，由于针对工业企业和商业企业的“分数线”不一，翻出来会惨不忍睹。
既然原文略去了定量的指标，那对不起，英语就依样画葫芦：

enterprises with turnover at or above the sizable-volume threshold

还是好啰嗦。

许
...时许
怎么翻？
例如：7时许
直觉判断，意思是some time after 7.
但词典的定义很窄，是approximately的意思。
用法律文件中常用的一个介词组合就可以解决（在大多数情况下）：at or around
例：at or around 7 o'clock

By the way, this is what a standard room in The Venetian looks like.

I'm not a fan of The Venetian, the one in Macau. The rooms are very luxurious, yes, but I can never get a good night's sleep there. I know the reason, but I don't intend to discuss it here.

This dessert, however, did tickle my fancy. It is as beautifully "crafted" as the rooms are stunningly "appointed".

But it's more nourishing to the body than the rooms are salubrious to the sleeper.

Dine with a view so fine...

More details, inside the coffeeshop of a conference centre

The devil is in the details. In Thailand, very often, the beauty is in the details. Curtains on a bus/coach are a nuisance in most cases and afford no viewing pleasure. But that doesn't have to be the case. Oh, BTW, this is on one of the Safe-and-Save airport buses.

I'm pretty sure the originator of this strapline, "Safe and Save Bus Service", is quite proud: proximate rhyme, alliteration, consonance... and it is punchy and effective.

On second thoughts, however, I wonder if it's a good advertisement for the city of Bangkok, although it certainly is for this particular service (as evidenced by the thronging crowds, mostly backpackers, who try to get on). It is, after all, one of the first things you see as you step out of the airport terminal building!

If this service is SAFE and I can SAVE, what is the alternative then?
