翻译：随着这个能源交易公司的融资情况浮出水面时，最终确凿无疑的是他们无中生有捏造出了价值，这不是来自他们有远见的交易策略，而是融资游戏把把曾经坚固的财产变为臭名昭著的溃散，在这个企业丑闻的时代。

原版解析 

The characterization of the company’s activities as “concocting ‘value’ out of thin air” strongly suggests that its transactions have been fraudulent. The word that completes Blank (ii) must reflect this financial trickery; “games” does so, whereas both “redemption” and “responsibilities” both reflect more upstanding behavior than the sentence ascribes to the firm. The word that completes Blank (iii) should reflect the company’s fall from respectability and have a sense opposite to the “once-solid entity” with which it is contrasted. “Debacle” does this nicely, while the other two choices lack the necessary pejorative meaning. For Blank (i), “vindicated” suggests that there had been previous warnings about the firm’s practices that were eventually borne out, something indicated nowhere else in the passage. “Unverifiable” is at odds with the sentence’s surety about the firm’s wrongdoing; that assurance is best conveyed by “unmistakable.” Thus the correct answer is unmistakable (Choice B), games (Choice F), and debacle (Choice I).
