Ici britain 's biggest industrial company for most of the past century dominated the chemical industry across the empire .
在过去一个世纪的多数时间里，ici都是英国最大的工业公司，曾主宰大英帝国的化工行业。
Ici 's decision was prescient , but slow to pay off : the pharmaceutical division lost money for 20 years .
ici的决定虽具有超前意识，但很晚才收到回报：该公司的制药部门连续亏损了20年。
