2. But devolution has exacted a high price—in squandered resources, administrative confusion and, in some instances, paralysis in decision-making. 但权力下放的代价也很高--它浪费资源,造成行政命令混乱,在某些情况下会使得决策瘫痪。
3. Once accountability is clarified along these lines, it should be possible to reconcile the need for proper accountability with devolution of responsibility. 一旦责任按照这一原则确认了以后,各级管理者就可以根据自己的责任对事情后果负责了。
