（单词翻译）

 　　The Managing Director of Greek company, Costamare, which owns the Rena, apologised for the leaking oil. The company has to pay for the salvage1 and at least $12m for the oil clean-up costs. That may not be enough.

　　The captain and the navigation officer have been charged in the Tauranga court with causing danger or a risk. They will return to court again next week. If they are guilty, they could go to jail for one year or have to pay a fine of $10,000 or both go to jail and pay a fine.
　　Meanwhile, the cost for businesses in Tauranga will be high. Many tourists come to enjoy the beaches in the summer. They stay in hotels, motels2 or campgrounds. They eat in cafes and restaurants. They shop in the city. They spend money on activities like deep sea fishing, dolphin watching or learning to surf. Will they come if the sea and beaches are polluted with oil?
