翻译下这段吧
Grocery is a boring business. Peddling bread-and-butter products (literally) at wafer-thin margins hardly sets pulses racing. Unless, that is, you are an American politician. On October 18th Amy Klobuchar and Mike Lee, two senators, called a hearing to discuss the proposed acquisition by Kroger, America’s second-biggest grocer by revenues, of Albertsons, the fourth-largest. The top Democrat and Republican, respectively, on the Senate antitrust subcommittee also sent a letter urging the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to size up the $25bn deal, which they say “raises considerable antitrust concerns”.
杂货业是个无聊的行业，该行业兜售面包和黄油产品（字面意思），利润微薄，很难激动人心。除非你是美国政治家。10月18日，艾米·克洛布查尔(Amy Klobuchar)和迈克·李(Mike Lee)两位参议员召开了听证会，讨论美国第二大杂货商克罗格(Kroger)对第四大杂货商阿尔伯森(Albertsons)的拟收购计划。参议院反垄断小组委员会中的民主党和共和党领袖也分别致函联邦贸易委员会(FTC)，敦促其对这项250亿美元的交易进行评估，他们称这项交易“引发了相当大的反垄断担忧”。
