(单词翻译)

 Woodside Petroleum's attempts to buy back nearly 10% of its shares from energy giant Shell has failed. At a general meeting in Perth today 72% of votes cast by shareholders2 went favor of the proposal and 28% were against. The resolution needed 75% support to pass. 

 
I think it was a, some shareholders focus on some, well, I think, quite narrow issues, and didn't look at the whole, big picture of the company and saying it's in the interest of the company and it's in the interest of all shareholders, in different ways. Now that's their right, you know, we went through this argument with them, and some of them agreed and said, OK, we understand now and we will vote in favor, others didn't. Uh, that's shareholder1 democracy. 
 
Woodside stocks closed the day down nearly 1.5% at $41.90, and that was pretty much the story across the whole market today which finished deep in the red, where it has been all day: 
The All Ordinaries finished down 1.5% as did the ASX 200. 
 
Across the region: 
And the Nikkei is down as is the Hang Seng. 
 
To commodities: 
And gold continues to trade higher while West Texas Crude and Tapis are lower. And the US Dollar, the Australian Dollar is buying 92.85 US cents
