热门单词：“唐僧肉”用英文怎么说？

 　　中央纪委监察部网站3日刊登“推动国有企业从严治党”系列文章，文章指出，巡视发现国有企业普遍存在制度不健全、监管不到位的问题，国有财产甚至成了被少数人瓜分的“唐僧肉”。深化改革的任务依然十分艰巨。

　　请看相关报道：

　　Something much-coveted, or "the flesh of a Tang Dynasty monk¹", refers to a big bonus or benefit that is pursued at any cost. In an article published by the Communist Party of China's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection² on its website on Monday, the top discipline watchdog pointed³ out, that because of loose supervision⁴, the officials managing some State-owned enterprises regard the companies as such "monk flesh".

　　倍受觊觎的事物或“唐僧肉”指不惜任何代价想要获得的巨大好处和利益。中央纪委监察部3日在其网站上刊登的一篇文章指出，由于监管松散，国有企业的管理人员都把国有资产看做“唐僧肉”。

　　唐僧肉

　　唐僧肉，按照字面意思可表达为the flesh of a Tang Dynasty monk，意译为something much-coveted。在小说《西游记》（Journey to the West）中，唐僧肉被认为食用后可以长生不老（the monk' s flesh will make the eater immortal），故被各种妖怪垂涎，由此引申为可以带来巨大好处和利益，因而受到众人追捧，甚至不惜一切代价取得的事物。

　　文章称，国有企业是推进国家现代化、保障人民共同利益的重要力量（SOEs are an important power driving the modernization⁵ of the country and safeguarding the people's interests）。有些企业决策成了一把手的“一言堂”（only the leaders of the SOEs have the say）、分管领导的“自留地”（lower-level officials have their own "private plots"）；对资产和资金疏于管理，国有财产成了被少数人瓜分的“唐僧肉”；招标采购等制度没有严格执行（the purchasing by invitation to bid has not been strictly⁶ implemented），有人借重组改制之机混水摸鱼，捞取个人利益。
