15、.今天要給大家講解有公司搬遷的文章，在這篇文章里，愛爾蘭介紹了自己能給商業(yè)活動提供良好的發(fā)展環(huán)境。文章的引語說：six reasons why you cant beat ireland? 愛爾蘭勝過別處的六個理由。beat 含有超過，勝過的意思，比如：you cant beat that for a bargain. 你怎么也不可能找到那樣的便宜貨了。好，接下來我們就來看愛爾蘭的環(huán)境有那些吸引人的地方。（第一段講解）ireland enjoys some of the lowest employment costs, one of the lowest rates of inflation

16、and one of the lowest telecommunications tariffs in europe. these all add up to lower overheads and greater savings.愛爾蘭不僅工資低，而且還是歐洲通貨膨脹率最低，電信費用最低的國家之一。這些都意味著減少日常開支，為公司省下更多的費用。注釋：在這一段話中，有四個單詞要引起我們的注意，cost, rate, overheads 和tariff.這四個單詞在商務(wù)英語中出現(xiàn)頻率很高。我們必須掌握它們的含義。cost 是“成本”的意思，比如：cost of sales 銷售成本，cost-

17、effective 成本效益，cost of quality 質(zhì)量成本，set-up costs （企業(yè)）創(chuàng)辦成本。rate 是比率的意思，比如：interest rate 利息率，insurance rate 保險率，tax rate稅率，以及本文第一句中的 rates of inflation (通貨膨脹率)，另外，rate也可以表示“費用，價格”的意思，比如：off season rates 淡季價格，telephone rates 電話費用，postal rates 郵資。overheads是指“公司的日常開支”，“管理費用”，它包含工資，租金，電費，電話費，設(shè)備費，郵費等。比如：th

18、e overheads are the normal costs of a business, which do not change if production rises. they are also referred to as indirect costs of fixed costs. 管理費用是指經(jīng)營企業(yè)的日常開支成本，不隨產(chǎn)量的增長而改變，也被成為固定成本中的間接成本。tariff 也是商務(wù)英語中的常用的詞匯，一般是指“關(guān)稅”，比如：import tariffs on cars 汽車進(jìn)口關(guān)稅，另外也可以指（酒店，飯店，電信）價目表，收費表。（第二段講解）generous gran

19、ts are available towards set-up costs. this includes capital investment, training and employment costs, as well as grants towards investment in r&d projects.在愛爾蘭，可以得到企業(yè)創(chuàng)辦成本方面的慷慨資助。這不僅包括資本投資，培訓(xùn)和雇工費用，而且還包括研發(fā)項目的投資。注釋：grant 有“補助”的意思，比如：students in this country receive a grant from the government.這個國

20、家的學(xué)生可得到政府的補助 。r&d是 research and development 的縮寫。比如：r & d capabilities 研發(fā)能力。（第三段講解）successive governments have recognized the importance of providing appropriate infrastructures and fostering an environment that is supportive of industry.愛爾蘭的歷屆政府都意識到良好的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和有利于產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展的環(huán)境的重要性。注釋：successive 是連續(xù)的，相

21、繼的意思，比如：we have had three successive years of good harvest.我們已連續(xù)三年豐收。supportive 是“支持的”意思，比如：she has been very supportive during my illness.我患病期間她幫了我很大的忙。legislators and regulatory authorities work closely with companies to ensure that start-up and expansion plans run smoothly. 因此，立法者和制定規(guī)章的管理部門積極與公司合

22、作，確保公司的創(chuàng)辦以及擴(kuò)展計劃能順利運作。注釋：regulatory authorities 管理機(jī)構(gòu)，authority 是可數(shù)名詞，意思為“行政管理機(jī)構(gòu)”，比如：the health authority 衛(wèi)生管理部門， the local housing authority 地方住房管理部門。start-up 是從動詞短語start up 變化過來的，start up 的意思是“開始創(chuàng)立”，“成立”。比如： many small business started up in the 1980s to cater to this growing market. 20世紀(jì)80年代創(chuàng)辦了很多小企

23、業(yè)以滿足這一不斷成長的市場需求。start-up可以做形容詞： 比如：he founded the company with a start-up loan of $20 000 from the bank. 他向銀行借貸2萬美元組建了這個公司。start-up 還可以作為名詞用，意思為“剛創(chuàng)辦的企業(yè)，公司”。比如：it grew from a tiny start-up to a multimillion-dollar corporation. 從一個很小的新公司成長為一個有數(shù)百萬美元資產(chǎn)的大公司。又比如：start-ups are very vulnerable in the busine

24、ss world. 新創(chuàng)辦的公司在商界是很脆弱的。另外，在第二段中出現(xiàn)的set-up costs 創(chuàng)辦成本。set-up 也是從動詞短語set up 變化而來的。表示“創(chuàng)立，建立，設(shè)立”。比如：set up a company 創(chuàng)辦一家公司，set up a new school 創(chuàng)辦一所新學(xué)校。但是，start up 一般是指創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)，而set up 的含義比較廣，除了表示創(chuàng)辦企業(yè)外，它還經(jīng)常用來表示“設(shè)立機(jī)構(gòu)”，“組織”等，比如：set up a government 建立一個政府。（第四段講解）ireland has invested more than us$5 billion in

25、recent years to give it one of the most sophisticated telephone networks in europe. 近年來，愛爾蘭已經(jīng)投資了50億美元，建立歐洲最發(fā)達(dá)的電話網(wǎng)絡(luò)系統(tǒng)。注釋：sophisticated是指（技術(shù)，產(chǎn)品）高度發(fā)展的，尖端的，精密的。比如：sophisticated equipment 精密設(shè)備，sophisticated techniques 尖端技術(shù)。they are among the most sophisticated weapons in the world.這些都屬于世界上最尖端的武器。（第五段講解）w

26、ith exports accounting for 80% of national output, it is not surprising that ireland has a highly efficient distribution network, which brings most of europe within 24-48 hours by truck. 愛爾蘭的出口量占國內(nèi)產(chǎn)量的80%，因此它有高效的物流網(wǎng)絡(luò)。用貨車可以在24-48小時內(nèi)把貨物云到歐洲的大部分地區(qū)。注釋：account for （在數(shù)量，比例方面）占。比如：the region accounts for a

27、large part of the usable timbre. 這一地區(qū)的出產(chǎn)占可用木材總量的一大部分。it accounts for 30 per cent of all railway accidents. 這占了全部鐵路事故的30%。in addition, frequent scheduled flights from international airports located throughout the country provide direct access to other european countries and the united states. 此外，國際機(jī)場

28、遍布全國各地，頻繁起飛的定期航班可以直達(dá)其他歐洲國家和美國。（第六段講解）irelands cities are becoming increasingly cosmopolitan yet unspoiled countryside and some of the most spectacular scenery in europe are always nearby. 愛爾蘭的城市越來越接近國際化大都市的水平，但在它們周圍，到處都可以看到自然風(fēng)光依舊的鄉(xiāng)村以及歐洲一些壯觀的景致。注釋：cosmopolitan世界性的，比如：new york is a very cosmopolitan c

29、ity.紐約是個國際大都會。residents enjoy ready access to a range of leisure activities, more varied than ever before, from theatre and restaurants to golf, horse-riding and fishing.居民們隨時享受各種休閑活動，這些活動比以往更為多樣化。從戲劇，餐飲到高爾夫，騎馬，以及垂釣，應(yīng)有盡有。列舉出上邊六個理由后，我們再來看最后的總結(jié)：it is nor surprising that over the last two decades, more

30、 than 1,100 overseas companies have relocated to ireland and are now trading successfully worldwide. 難怪在過去的20年里，已經(jīng)有1100多家海外公司遷址愛爾蘭，現(xiàn)在正成功地在世界各地進(jìn)行貿(mào)易。注釋：overseas 是“海外的”，“在海外”的意思。比如：he was happy to return home after living overseas for two years. 生活在海外兩年后回到了家他感到愉快。speaking 口語練習(xí)put six reasons for reloca

39、置”，“使安置于新的地點”。比如：the company relocated 1450 employees to china. 公司將1450名員工安排到中國工作。同時，relocate 也可以做不及物動詞，比如：many companies are seriously considering relocating elsewhere in asia. 許多公司正在認(rèn)真考慮遷移到亞洲的其他地方去。ers offers a comprehensive house search service including internet pre-viewing. although it offers n
