TEXT 90 The troubleshooter 麻烦终结者（陈继龙 编译） Dec 7th 2006 From The Economist print edition Guido Rossi has made a valiant but largely fruitless effort to clean up Italian business 为了给意大利商界“擦屁股”，吉多?罗西做出了无畏的努力，可大多都无果而终。 SOME people call him “Guidone”—big Guido. Large in both physical stature and reputation, Guido Rossi, who took over as Telecom Italias chairman on September 15th following the surprise resignation of Marco Tronchetti Provera, has stood out[1] from the Italian business crowd for more than three decades. Mr Rossi, who attended Harvard law school in the 1950s and wrote a book on American bankruptcy law, made his name as a corporate lawyer keen on market rules and their enforcement.

Before that, Mr Rossi had been sent in to sort out Ferruzzi-Montedison, an agri-business and chemicals group, which had collapsed after magistrates uncovered tangentopoli (“bribesville[3]”). Last year his legal scheming was crucial in ABN Amros victorious bid for Banca Antonveneta. （2）Most recently, he acted as special commissioner at Italys football association, where he was drafted in to sort out the mess after a massive match-rigging scandal exploded earlier this year. 他在意大利电信公司所扮演的角色标志着他的回归，因为1997年他在该公司主持过十个
