车马费

此次汇丰集团主席葛霖（stephengreen）出席的活动，由中国本土公关公司精音传播机构（voiceonecommunications）组织，精音传播也表示，汇丰在安排支付车马费方面没有扮演任何角色。

The event , featuring HSBC chairman Stephen Green , was hosted by the foundation and organised by local PR firm , voice one communications , which also said HSBC had no role in organising the payments .

第二天晚上市民代表们被召集起来商议，并收到了装有钱的信封&他们的报酬，名义上是给他们的车马费。

At the end of the second day , citizen members were summoned from the deliberations to receive envelopes of cash & compensation , it was said , for their transportation costs .

公关公司将此类报酬称为“车马费”，这是中国媒体活动上一个普遍存在的特点，但批评人士称，在竞争日益激烈的新闻市场上，这种做法会导致报道失实。

Such payments called " transport money " by public relations firms are a ubiquitous feature of media events in China but one , critics say , that skews coverage in an increasingly competitive news market .
