　　4.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks，even if a review of history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred.(2011.閱讀Text 1)

　　【例句譯文】不過研究者相信，如果外部董事在不良消息出現(xiàn)之前離開公司，他們將能更輕松地避免自己的名聲受損，即便歷史回顧表明錯誤正是發(fā)生在他們擔任董事期間，情況也是如此。
