（单词翻译）

 　　Marisol: What do you think of the big announcement this morning?

 
　　Lamar: That our company is going to merge1 with McQ Corp.? From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, this isn’t a merger2 but a hostile takeover.
 
　　Marisol: But the CEO said this morning that our company and McQ Corp. are equals in this merger, and the integration3 of the two companies will be seamless.
 
　　Lamar: Don’t you believe it! McQ Corp. has a history of taking over companies with high valuations and a lot of assets and selling it off in pieces. This is no friendly acquisition.
 
　　Marisol: But what about all of that talk about our two companies consolidating4 into a strong business entity5 and creating great synergy? Didn’t you buy any of that?
 
　　Lamar: Not one word. When McQ Corp. is through with us, we’ll be lucky to still have the shirts on our backs!
