“As a platform, Didi has failed to live up to trust of the public and has inherent responsibility,” the company said in a statement on Sunday. It added that it had removed two managers in charge of the Hitch business and its customer service division.

语法分析：two managers in charge of the Hitch business and its customer service division: the Hitch business and its customer service division是并列的，in charge of the Hitch business and its customer service division是作two managers的后置定语。
The Hitch service has proved popular with younger, tech-savvy riders, in part because it is less expensive than Didi’s regular driver service. It has matched up more than 1bn carpooling trips since it launched three years ago, the company said.
顺风车服务已被证明吸引那些较年轻的、熟悉新科技的乘客，部分原因是它比滴滴的常规司机服务更便宜。该公司表示，自三年前推出顺风车服务以来，已匹配超过10亿次拼车出行。

在上周五搭车期间，被害女子曾发送短信求助，她的亲戚随即打电话报警。但据中国媒体报道，滴滴未能立即向警方提供车牌或司机的联系资料。

Didi said on Saturday that another passenger had complained on Thursday about that driver’s behaviour. Police detained the 27-year-old driver before dawn on Saturday.
滴滴上周六表示，上周四有另一位乘客投诉过涉案车主的行为。警方在上周六黎明前拘留了这名27岁的司机。
After the murder of the flight attendant in the central city of Zhengzhou in May, Didi said it would hide customers’ profile details to prevent male drivers from seeking out female customers based on ratings of their sexual attractiveness. It also said it would limit carpooling through Hitch to customers of the same sex during night-time hours.
在5月份一名空姐在郑州被谋杀后，滴滴曾表示会隐藏顾客的个人资料，以防止男性司机根据女顾客的性吸引力评价专挑女性乘客。它还表示，夜间顺风车仅限与车主同一性别的顾客搭乘。
in the central city 中部城市与上文的in the coastal city沿海城市，在英文中介绍一个城市时具体化说明所在地理位置，翻译时可以省略，因为我们大家都知道这些城市的位置，英语里面写明的原因是老外不一定知道。
