2011《財(cái)富》最愚蠢商業(yè)事件大盤點(diǎn)（上）

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾誤降法國評(píng)級(jí)

????今年11月，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾（Standard & Poor's）錯(cuò)誤地發(fā)出警告，稱公司已經(jīng)調(diào)低法國的AAA信用評(píng)級(jí)。消息一出，有人大罵“該死！”。當(dāng)然，也許還有更多更精彩的言論。

????之后，這家評(píng)級(jí)機(jī)構(gòu)很快澄清此事，稱該信息屬于誤發(fā)，并歸咎于技術(shù)問題。

????但這一過失卻戳到了許多法國人的痛處，因?yàn)橥饨缙毡檎J(rèn)為法國極有可能失去其AAA評(píng)級(jí)。本月早些時(shí)候，法國和其他大多數(shù)歐元區(qū)國家均被標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾列入了降級(jí)觀察名單。不過到目前為止，法國的AAA評(píng)級(jí)尚安然無恙。——本?魯尼

S&P downgrades France - by mistake

????Standard & Poor's prompted calls of zut-alors!, and probably other more colorful remarks, after it mistakenly sent an alert in November saying it had changed France's AAA credit rating.

????The ratings agency quickly clarified that the message was sent in error, citing technical difficulties.

????The gaffe hit a raw nerve for many in France, which is widely seen as the most likely candidate to lose its AAA status. Earlier this month, France and most other euro area nations were placed on review for a possible downgrade by the S&P. For now, France's AAA rating remains intact. -- Ben Rooney
