If the tobacco settlement is any guide, that will not stop states trying to raid the escrow fund – BP's initial payouts to Alabama, Florida and Mississippi already have a pork barrel flavour to them. 如果说烟草协议有什么借鉴作用的话,那就是这将无法阻止各州设法劫掠赔偿基金&BP最初支付给阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州和密西西比州的赔偿金,已经被它们拿来用做地方建设经费。
The proceeds will be used for general corporate financing rather than as financing for a$ 20bn escrow fund to pay for damages caused by the spill. 这些资金将用于一般的企业融资,而非为支付原油泄漏赔偿金而建立的200亿美元托管基金融资。
