商務(wù)英語重點(diǎn)詞匯(3)
一、Restructuring 企業(yè)重組(1)
A group containing many types of business is diversified. A group's basic business activity, perhaps the one it originally started with, is its core business. Separate business activities may be viewed as profit centers, each responsible for generating profit.
Businesses are often encouraged to concentrate or focus on their core activities and to sell off, spin off, or dispose of non-essential assets. These assets are often referred to as non-core assets.
A sale of assets in this way is referred to as a sell-off, spin-off, or disposal. A spin-off can also refer to a business that has been spun off.
注釋:
Diversified 多樣化;多角化 Core business 核心經(jīng)營
Profit center 利潤中心 Focus 集中經(jīng)營
Assets 資產(chǎn);基金 Non-core assets 空心資本
Sell off 拋售 Spin off 剝離;拆分
Dispose of 處理;變賣 Disposal 處理;變賣
二、Management buy-outs 管理層收購
When a group is restructured, the managers of a business that is to be sold off may want to buy it themselves in a management buy-out or MBO, usually in combination with an organization providing finance in the form of venture capital.
注釋:

三、Entrepreneurs and tycoons 企業(yè)家和金融巨頭
An entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) is usually someone who builds up a company from nothing: a start-up (新創(chuàng))company.
Entrepreneurs may one day become tycoons(實(shí)業(yè)界/金融界巨頭), magnates(產(chǎn)業(yè)大王)or moguls(工商巨擘): rich and successful people with power and influence who head big organizations, usually ones they have built up themselves and in which they have a large personal stake.
四、Managers and executives 經(jīng)理和董事
A manager is someone in a position of responsibility in an organization. An executive(總經(jīng)理;董事) is usually a manager at quite a high level. Executives are also execs, an informal expression. People at the head of an organization are senior executives(高級(jí)董事/主管) or senior managers(高層管理者/總經(jīng)理), top executives(高層)or top managers(總經(jīng)理).
五、Ladies and gentlemen of the board 董事會(huì)成員
The people legally responsible for a company are its board or board of directors(理事會(huì)/董事會(huì)).
In the US,the head of a company may have the title president(總裁/董事長). Again, the responsibilities of this post vary from company to company, and the post may be combined with another.
In the US, a senior manager in charge of a function may have the title vice-president(副總裁/副董事長) and may be on the board. One vice president may have responsibility for running the company, or maybe not, as the last example below indicates only too well.
Executive directors(執(zhí)行董事) on a board are high level managers of the company. Other directors are non-executive directors(非常務(wù)董事), perhaps bringing their knowledge and experience to several company boards.
