[背景了解]
　　文章取自于2003年6月的閱讀真題，是關(guān)于不同文化下商業(yè)運(yùn)作比較的文章，選段有些長，希望耐心看下，自己先猜下劃線部分單詞的意思吧
　　[文章部分]
　　Harvard Business School professor George Lodge calls the ritual acceptance of blame “almost a feudal (封建的) way of purging (清除) the community of dishonor,” and to some in the United States, such resignations look cowardly. However, in an era in which both business and governmental leaders seem particularly good at evading responsibility, many US managers would probably welcome an infusion (灌輸) of the Japanese sense of responsibility, If, for instance, US automobile company executives offered to reduce their own salaries before they asked their workers to take pay cuts, negotiations would probably take on a very different character.
