上海市政府正在组建一家金融投资公司,计划拿出大约10亿美元在海内外进行投资。
Shanghai’scitygovernmentissettingupafinancialinvestmentcompanywithabout$1bntospendoninvestmentsinChinaand
这个新投资机构将被命名为“上海金融控股集团”(ShanghaiFinancialHoldings)。在此之前,中国中央政府采取了一系列举措,通过新成立的中国国家投资公司(ChinaInvestmentCorporation)和全国社保基金(NationalSocialSecurityFund),大力促进海外投资。
Thenewagency,tobecalledShanghaiFinancialHoldings,followsmovesbythecentralgovernmentinBeijingtopromoteoverseasinvestmentthroughthenewlyestablishedChinaInvestmentCorporationandtheNationalSocialSecurity
上海金融控股还将接管上海国际集团(ShanghaiInternationalGroup)的金融资产。上海国际集团是上海市政府现有的控股公司,将被一分为二。
TheagencywillalsomanagefinancialassetstransferredfromShanghaiInternationalGroup,theprovincialgovernment’sexistingholdingcompany,whichisbeingsplitinto
这些资产包括上海浦东发展银行(ShanghaiPudongDevelopmentBank)等银行,以及申银万国(ShenyinWanguo)等证券公司。
TheseassetsincludebankssuchasShanghaiPudongDevelopmentBankandsecuritiesfirmssuchasShenyin
有关官员表示,上海金融控股还将承担一个职责,就是支持上海企业走出国门。预计浦发银行董事长吉晓辉将受命执掌上海金融控股。

知情人士表示,上海市政府把这个机构视为其推动上海成为国际金融中心战略的一部分。然而,有关官员承认,如果中央政府不取消资本控制并允许人民币自由兑换,这一愿望就不太可能成真。
PeoplefamiliarwiththemattersaytheprovincialgovernmentseestheagencyaspartofitsstrategyofpromotingShanghaiasaninternationalfinancialHowever,officialsconcedethatisunlikelytohappenuntilthecentralgovernmentremovescapitalcontrolsandallowstherenminbitotrade
其它地方政府也在寻求国务院(StateCouncil)批准成立专业投资基金。
OtherregionalgovernmentsarealsoseekingapprovalfromtheStateCounciltoestablishspecialisedinvestment
山西和广东都在成立能源基金,而四川希望成立一只科技基金。天津已经成立了一只投资基金。
BothShanxiandGuangdongarelaunchingenergyfundswhileSichuanhopestoestablishatechnologyTianjinhaslaunchedaninvestment
上世纪八九十年代,中国曾批准成立了一些有“窗口”之称的信托投资公司,但它们进行的海外投资大多不成功。
Chinaallowedso-calledwindowortrustandinvestmentcompaniesinthe1980sand1990s,buttheymadelargelyunproductiveinvestments
一些熟知中国情况的外国银行家表示,不知道这些新的投资机构是否有正规制度,以防止投资不善。
SomeforeignbankerswithChinaexpertisesayitisnotclearwhetherthenewinvestmentagencieshaveformalsystemsinplacetopreventpoor
“它们缺乏透明度、缺乏责任制、缺乏治理,”一家大型国际银行的高管指出。“现在还不知道它们将会怎样披露关联交易。”
“Theylacktransparency,andaccountabilityandgovernance,”saidaseniorexecutiveatonemajorinternational“Itisn’tclearhowtheywilldiscloserelatedparty”
然而,其他专家表示,这一阶段的海外投资可能会得到更加专业的管理。

第一题说“经理们必须采取措施使潜力股们相信他们对公司的价值”,也就是要让潜力股们对公司忠诚,即C段说的creating“attractioncentres”和loyalty。
第二题说“组织必须把目光投向正在培养中的潜力股以外的地方”,即D段最后两句话所说的寻找新一代的潜力股。
第三题和B段的最后一句话完全是一个意思:怕培养潜力股的投入收不回成本。
第四题说开发潜力股,经理们需要在公司内部得到专家支持。答案是D段的第一句话:公司的人力资源专家需要采取行动。HRspecialists就是expert。
第五题说公司现在没有在指导策略的支持下辨别潜力股。也就是说公司是依靠自己来发掘人才的。答案是A段的第一句:现行的研究满足不了需要,所以公司只能形成自己的一套体系。
第六题,经理们太忙了,无暇顾及潜力股的发展。答案是B段的:Unfortunately,withtoday'sflatorganisations,wheremanagershavefunctionalaswellasmanagerialresponsibilities,peopledevelopmentalltoooftenfallsvictimtoheavy。不幸落在了高工作负荷的人的肩上。高工作负荷,也就是toobusy。
第七题,看重作为雇主名声的公司可以吸引潜力股。答案是C段的这么一句:iftheircompaniesareknownasonesthatdeveloptheirpeople,theywillhaveagreaterappealtohigh-flyers。如果公司是以开发员工而着称的话,将会对潜力股产生更大的吸引。以开发员工而着称(knownasonesthatdeveloptheirpeople),名声很好,也就是看重自己作为雇主的名声。
疑似生词:
linemanagers直属经理,业务经理
flatorganization扁平化的组织,即企业中的单层管理组织对应的单词hierarchy等级制的公司
poach(侵入他人地界)偷猎(或捕鱼),水煮,剽窃,挖角
eg:Arivalfirmpoachedourbestcomputer
我公司的竞争对手把我们最好的计算机程序编制员挖走了。
runsdeep纯粹是想说一下那句着名的谚语:Stillwaterrunsdeep静水流深。
fallvictimto成为的受害者
B段中的原话:Peopledevelopmentalltoooftenfallsvictimtoheavy人员发展成为高负荷工作的受害者,也就是说经理们因为太忙而无暇顾及潜力股的培养,即第六题的答案。
retention保留,在文中指留住员工。是风险管理中常见的专业名词。

4)我来搞定它:你专心致志地听别人说话。然后你说,“轻松一点,别担心。我会亲自搞定它的。”这样的承诺会让所有人都放松下来。如果想要做出更大的承诺,你就可以说,“我向你保证。”这样的表态会让你看起来更可靠。在对方眼里,你已经进入角色,并且会尽一切努力去完成的。
