James Murdoch won the unanimous support of the board of British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC, where he will remain chairman.
　　詹姆斯·默多克（James Murdoch）获得英国天空广播公司（British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC，简称BSkyB）董事会的一致支持，将继续担任公司董事长一职。
　　The U.K. satellite-TV giant's board also approved a GBP 750 million ($1.2 billion) share buyback that is likely to be announced on Friday. BSkyB will report full-year results Friday.
　　Associated Press7月19日，新闻集团欧洲及亚洲业务首席执行长詹姆斯·默多克（James Murdoch）抵达新闻国际（News International）伦敦总部。这家英国卫星电视巨头的董事会还通过了7.5亿英镑（12亿美元）的股票回购计划，可能会在周五公之于众。BSkyB将于周五公布全年业绩报告。
　　BSkyB's directors discussed the share buyback and Mr. Murdoch's status at a meeting in London Thursday, people familiar with the matter said. His status at BSkyB was thrown into question due to a scandal involving reporting practices at a now-defunct U.K. newspaper owned by News Corp., which also owns a 39% stake in BSkyB. Mr. Murdoch is deputy chief operating officer of News Corp.
　　据知情人士说，BSkyB董事成员周四在伦敦开会就股票回购及詹姆斯·默多克的职位进行了讨论。由于新闻集团（News Corp.）旗下一家英国报社因报道做法不当卷入丑闻，他在BSkyB的未来命运成了未知数。该报现已被停刊。新闻集团还持有BSkyB 39%的股份。詹姆斯·默多克是新闻集团副首席运营长。
　　Aside from that deal falling apart, BSkyB has been largely untouched by the scandal, and that appears to have also aided Mr. Murdoch's standing at the broadcaster.
　　除告吹的收购交易外，BSkyB一直基本未受这桩丑闻的影响，这似乎也为詹姆斯?默多克在BSkyB的地位提供了帮助。
　　As for the buyback, BSkyB shareholders have been clamoring for some of the company's prodigious cash flow to be returned to them after News Corp.'s offer to buy the remainder of the company was withdrawn amid the political backlash over the scandal.
　　至于股票回购，在新闻集团因丑闻招致政治压力而撤销购买BSkyB剩余股权的计划后，BSkyB股东一直强烈要求公司将巨大现金流中的一部分归还给他们。
　　Under the buyback, News Corp. has agreed to sell back some of its stock to BSkyB to avoid increasing its stake in the broadcaster, which would have been politically unpalatable in the U.K. and unpopular with BSkyB's other shareholders.
　　按照回购协议，新闻集团已同意将部分股票回售给BSkyB，以避免增加其对BSkyB所持股份。股权增加对英国政界将是难以接受的，也不会受到BSkyB其他股东的欢迎。
　　Some shareholders are hoping News Corp. will ultimately return to pay a premium to buy the remainder of the company after the scandal dies down.
　　有些股东希望新闻集团最终会在丑闻逐渐平息后重新支付溢价购买公司剩余股份。
　　News Corp. also owns The Wall Street Journal.
　　《华尔街日报》也隶属新闻集团。
　　Still, a person familiar with the matter said BSkyB's board will 'keep an eye on any external issues,' a reference to the unfolding phone-hacking drama.
　　不过，一位知情人士说，BSkyB董事会会“密切注意任何外部问题”，所指的是正在上演的手机窃听事件。
　　BSkyB shares closed at 711.53 pence in London trading Thursday, down 2.97 pence.
　　周四伦敦股市，BSkyB股价收于7.1153英镑，跌2.97便士。
　　News Corp. shares, meanwhile, rose 11 cents, or 0.7%, to $16.11.
　　同时，新闻集团股价升0.11美元至16.11美元，涨幅0.7%。
　　News Corp. originally bid for the remaining 60.9% stake in the pay-TV company in June of 2010, offering 700 pence ($11.47) a share. Directors of BSkyB said they wanted 800 pence a share, but the two sides agreed to first see if they could win regulatory approval for the deal before sitting down at the negotiating table over price.
　　新闻集团最初是在2010年6月出价收购付费电视公司BSkyB 60.9%的剩余股权，出价为每股7英镑（11.47美元）。BSkyB董事成员说他们想要的价格是每股8英镑，但双方最后同意先要看是否能获得监管批准，然后再坐下来谈价格。
