The analysis of divestment by multinational corporation in chinaGroup members：XX,XXX,XXX,XXHello, everybody, today we’ll present the analysis of divestment by multinational corporation in china. Our group members are XX,XXX,XXX,XX.Before at the beginning of our problem, let us look at three pictures. First, the weak stock market, that is, we know the bear market, the green screen, blue boy .like a Chinese old saying :万绿从中一点红。

But there is no red. Please remember the keyword of the picture :bear market。

Well, then please see the second picture,the population of unemployment, restless,pervasive despair.Please also remember that the second key word, unemployment。

Finally, let us look at the third one,the difficulties of financing.This matter is particularly serious in the last year, especially after the bursting of the"Wenzhou myth".Yes,this keywords is difficult to financeWhat on earth had happened? Perhaps such a reason can explain these phenomena, that is, the multinational corpo rations’ divestment in China.What has multinational companies to divest in China gone through? Please come to our second part,background. In this section, we will refer definitions and introduce processes and events. The first is to define. You can see the definition is that the capital is called back and the companies make investments in other place, in our project means excepting China. Here, there is a note, in a way it is equal to the hot money. The following exposition, we will be involved. Let's look at the processes and events.First of all, please see the PPT, we can find very large amount offoreign divestments, covering every area of every country in different periods. These dates are just we can find .According to the Commerce Department's statistics from the 2008 financial crisis, Chinese FDI growth rate continues to decline ,at the same time, the divestment amount is increasing. Visibly, foreign investment gap is increasing.Now, let us into the cause analysis. From the PPT can be seen, they are divided into three parts, domestic reasons, the foreign causes and self reasons.Domestic reasonsThe first point, policy is instable (political reasons). China is currently in the exploratory stage of economic development, the fluctuation of policy has resulted in the phenomenon.The second point,the costs of production.Among them, what we should pay more attention is the labor costs and raw material costs. Especially the rapid increase of productivity costs, which makes our comparative advantages disappear,makes foreign investors withdraw from China,looking for new cost advantages, such as Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries .Instability of costs has shaken the confidence of multinational investment.The third point, the rising prices, generally means low purchasing power. This year, China is facing a downturn in economic growth and high price- double dilemma, which makes the buying power of residentsto decline further.The fourth point, the appreciation of the RMB, making foreign currency reduce purchasing power. Similarly, other countries, currencies fell, for example, the depreciation of the dollar, which is more attractive to foreign investment.Ok, next I will analysis the case from the external and own factors.I will begin with the external reasonsFirst, because of the occurrence and continuation of financial crises and the post-crisis era of the world market downturn lead to investor lack of confidence, many people hold currency for watching.Second, the instability of the Council, for example, because of the forced policy lead to many foreign investors had to withdraw.And then analysis from the own reasons Firstly, the adjustment of long-term business strategy. According to the business objectives, the multinational enterprises have to adjust the strategy and give up the investment in China.The secondly, poor management of the multinational enterprises. Because of the poor management of the multinational corporations in China they had to give up in the Chinese market.Thirdly, investment in China is a speculation, not a long-termmanagement behavior, which is a lot of reasons for non-normal divestment of multinational enterprises.Above is the analyses of the reasons, next I will express some our viewsOur views are divided into two parts: one is treating it rationally, another is some advices. First of all, we have to deal with the multinational enterprises divestment from China rationally. This behavior brings not only a lot of negative effects, but also comes with the positive. About the negative effects we already show you in the front of PPT, such as bear market, unemployment, financing difficulties. Then is about the positive effects, multinational corporations’ divestment from China can promote Chinese industrial structure to upgrade, it also reduces the dependence of economic development of Chinese on foreign capital, thereby reduce the crisis in the process of economic development.Secondly, in the face of multinational companies’ divestment from China, we must take measures actively to come up with it.We suggest dealing with it from two aspects as follows: To the government, they should support local enterprises vigorously, especially high-tech value-added industry. In addition, the government should also adjust the regional development strategy on time. Act as the role of good managers and service providers well. Also the government needs to solve the problem of financing difficulties of small and medium-sizedenterprises.To the domestic company, we should promote independent innovation vigorously and also to learn the excellent experience of foreign investment and improve our business management and marketing level.Above all is our presentation, thank you!。

加油正确的英语表达精编W O R D版IBM system office room 【A0816H-A0912AAAHH-GX8Q8-GNTHHJ8】加油正确的英语表达fighting是一个被韩国人用火的英语单词Fight本身有打架、战斗的意思，延伸出来fighter是斗士，fighting则是好战的、用于战斗的意思。

但是我想这可能不是你要找的意思。

韩国人在互相鼓励的时候会说“Fighting!”，这其实和我们中文的“加油”，英文的“Come on!”差不多。

只是这并不是一个native English speaker会说的话。

相反，你倒是经常在韩剧里听到，他们还会加强语气说：“Aja Aja Fighting!”更有意思的是，韩语中并没有F这个音。

受于这个发音缺陷，他们不能发出“fighting”，而是变相的发出了“hwaiting”或者“pighting”的音。

这些新造的词在韩哈的老外中间流传开来，也慢慢揉入了自己的英语口头禅中。

下面我们就一起学学加油正确的英语表达最常用的是Good luck!/Best of luck!没错，就这么简单。

英语“祝你好运”连带有“加油”的意思，这两句是最常用的鼓励人的句子，不管什么场景，包括考试、面试等等这两句基本都适用。

?俚语表达加油Knock it out of the park！好好表现，表现出色，这个说法来源于棒球，意思是本垒打，打出制胜球"Knock it out of the park"和"good luck" "best of luck"一样常用。

另外，它还可以用在陈述句里，比如:A: How was your job interview 你面试怎么样B: I knocked it out of the park！棒极了！用“Go"来加油Go get them/ Go get the best of them/ Go beat them这三个说法都很常用；对于没有直接对手的考验，可以用：Go for it！加油、努力去做?给女生加油女性之间互相加油、或者男性给女性加油都可以，Give it your 110%！尽你110%的努力、最大限度的努力。

关键词：苔丝；悲剧；性格AbstractTess of the D’Urbervilles(hereafter Tess), written by the great novelist Thomas Hardy, is regarded as one of the most successful tragedies around the world. Under Hardy’s pen,the heroine Tess is depicted as an attractive, kind-hearted, and pure woman, who has the quality of endurance and self-sacrifice. Tess has long been taken as the most exceptional woman character in English literary history. However, the life of this pure woman is rather tragic and miserable. This paper aims to explore the causes of Tess’s tragedy in Tess of the D’Urbervilles through Tess’s character，which will help the reader get a better appreciation of this famous masterpiece. It is argued that Tess’s responsibility, pride, innocence, and impulsiveness lead to her downfall.Keywords: Tess; tragedy; characterTable of Contents摘要 (I)Abstract ........................................................................................................................

(Wu 312) As an excellent English novelist and poet, he helped forge a link between the 19th and 20th century literary traditions. Hardy’s works reflect his stoical pessimism and sense of tragedy in human life.1.2 A General Introduction to the NovelTess, published in 1891, is one of the Hardy's most significant and famous works in his classified group, "Novels of Character and Environment". After the publication of this novel, Hardy reaches the height of his achievement as a novelist.1.3 PlotIn this novel, Hardy molds an image of a misfortunate female by telling a story of a peasant girl of decayed aristocratic stock who is betrayed by two men: one is Alec, rich and sensuous, the seducer of her body; the other Angel, is the son of a clergyman whom she loves, and who abandons her when she confess her earlier violation in their wedding night. Subsequently Angel forgives her and comes back to search for her, only to find that she has been driven back to Alec by poverty. Finally, she kills Alec due to her strong love to Angel and her disgust at Alec, for which she loses her life.1.4 Thesis Statement of This PaperThe fate of Tess is filled with misery. Her inevitable tragic ending is related with various factors, among which personal factors can never be neglected. Thus this paper discusses Tess’s tragedy from the perspective of her character and argues that her responsibility, pride, innocence, and impulsiveness contribute to her destruction.2Literature ReviewTess is one of the most well-known and fantastic works of Thomas Hardy, which has never lost its appeal to the literary critics and ordinary readers as well. After World War II, with the development of modern literary criticism, different reviewers interpret Tess from various perspectives.There are different schools of thought about the causes of Tess’s tragedy. Some try to explain the tragedy through social factors, which is chiefly represented by English critics Douglas Brown and Arnold Kettle. They see Tess as a victim of a social disintegration that has been caused by the coming of industrialization to the countryside. Besides, some Chinese scholars also belong to this group. For instance, Professor Jin Yuanpu holds the view that “this tragedy condemned severely Victorian society.” (255). Some attribute Tess’s undoing to her fate. According to John Macy, “Tess was the victim of destiny”. (282) Some propose that Tess’s downfall also stems from human factors. One of the critics belonging to this school is Professor Webster. In his opinion, Tess is a contribution to Hardy’s war against man’s inhumanity.3ResponsibilityIt is Tess’s high sense of responsibility to her family and her self-sacrifice pushes her to fall into Alec’s trap twice. For the first time, she is sent to a family falsely connected to her family by name, where she is seduced by Alec. Although she is reluctant to receive Alec’s “help”, she is later forced back to him for the sake of her homeless family.3.1 Responsibility Obliges Tess to Claim KinAt the very beginning of the story, Tess’s father, John Durbeyfield, is severely drunk because he is stunned to hear the news from a parson that he is the descendent of an ancient noble family,the d’Urbervilles. So Tess, together with her younger brother Abraham, has to take the place of John to deliver beehives though she did not truly know how to drive a horse. Unfortunately the horse Prince, the only means that the whole family uses to make the pot boil, was killed by a local mail cart. Tess blames herself for the death of Prince and feels it is her responsibility to make matters right. She tries to seek for some light occupation in the neighborhood to collect enough money during the summer to purchase another horse, but the plan falls through. It is at this point that “her mother broached the scheme” (Hardy 39) for Tess to claim kin with the d’urbervilles, a false representative of the old d’urberville family. “Well, as I killed the horse, mother,” she said mournfully, “I suppose I ought to do something. I don’t mind going and seeing her.…” (Hardy 40)Out of her sense of duty to resolve the Durbeyfields’ economic difficulties, Tess accepts Alec’s “help” and takes employment to look after poultry. At this time, “she is in the special position of a woman laborer, that as well as a worker she is exposed tothe market, with its range of possibilities in seduction, marriage, desertion, kept mistress.” (Norman 35)3.2Responsibility Forces Tess to Cohabitate with AlecAfter Tess is abandoned by her husband, Angel, Tess becomes a wage earner in Flintcomb-Ash, where she works in an extremely hard working condition because she gives her family half the money Alec has given to her.Though she undergoes various hardships, Tess can endure them and wait patiently for Angel’s returning to her. But misfortune comes upon Tess and her family once again. Her father’s passing away constitutes a lethal attack on Tess. “The news meant even more than it sounded. Her father’s life had a value apart from his personal achievements…” (Hardy 338)Consequently, the Durbeyfields loses the life tenure of their cottage after John’s death and becomes homeless. Tess, bearing a burden to find a shelter for her family, finally yields to Alec’s persistent pursuit. Thus, although Tess is unwilling to be Alec’s mistress and even feel disgusted with Alec, she has to do so because she is responsible for the livelihood of her mother and siblings.4PrideTess’s pride and strong self-esteem is shown repeatedly throughout the story: in her unwillingness to tell her parents the truth about her marriage or to ask help from Angel’s parents. It is also her pride that prevents her trying to win her husband back.4.1 Pride Deters Her From Urging Angel to StayAfter she confesses her past to Angel in their wedding night, she is despised and deserted by him. When Angel suggests that they shouldn’t live together until he accepts her past, she shows no disagreement and makes no efforts to beg him to stay not only because of her submissiveness but also because of her pride and self-esteem. Hardy made his comments a few words after depicting the scene of their departure:If Tess had bee artful; had she made a scene, fainted, wepthysterically…he would probably not have withstood her. But hermood of long-suffering made his way easy for him…pride, too,entered into her submission－which perhaps was a symptom of thatreckless acquiescence in chance too apparent in the wholed’Urberville family－and the many effective chords which she couldhave stirred by an appeal were left untouched. (248)4.2 Pride Deters Her From Asking for HelpSubsequent to their departure, Tess meets great difficulties, economically and spiritually. But she would rather work in a “starve acre”farm and endure Alec’s incessant harassment than seek help from Angel’s parents or whoever has the ability to assist her.She tries to make her in-laws know her plight a year after her marriage to Angel, but she can not screw up courage to meet Angel’s families when she reaches thevicarage. Hardy analyzes her behavior as follows:The same delicacy, pride, false shame…hindered her in owning tohim that she was in want…They probably despised her already; howmuch more they would despise her in the character of a mendicant!The consequence was that by no effort could the parson’sdaughter-in-law bring herself to let him know her state. (291)5InnocenceTess, a simple, innocent and faithful country girl, is at odds with the world which invents trains and machines as well as the nouveau riche like Alec. Finally she becomes a victim of the modern society.5.1Tess Is So Simple as to Believe Angel will Forgive herIn their wedding night, Tess becomes almost glad rightly after Alec’s confession about his dissipation with a stranger, taking it for granted that Angel would also forgive her faults. “O Angel－I am almost glad－because now you can forgive me!”(Hardy 221)But the problem is that there are double standards in sexual matters in a patriarchal world and she knows nothing about it. In other words, she is not aware that men needn’t be responsible for their misdeeds, while women must pay for it under the same situation.5.2 Tess Is So Innocent as to Be Defrauded by Alec TwiceTess is so simple and innocent that she is inclined to trust others. The first time she is seduced by Alec and loses her chastity is because as a child, she does not know “there is danger in men-folk” (Hardy 87) But a fall in pit does not enable her to gain a wit, because she is deceived by Alec again and make herself his mistress. Her simple mind can be revealed through the following dialogue between her and Angel: “I hate him now, because he told me a lie－that you would not come again; and you have come!”(Hardy 366)6ImpulsivenessHer impulsiveness is the last straw that leads her directly to the gallows. After Angel visits her at a luxurious lodging in Sandbourne, where she is now cohabitating with Alec as his mistress, Tess recovers her love and loyalty to Angel again. Her shame and grief cause her violent side hidden in her personality to explode. Therefore, overwhelmed with impulsiveness, she stabs Alec to death with a dinner knife mercilessly. I ntentionally or not, Tess has fulfilled Angel’s proclamation that they cannot be together as long as Alec is alive.“He heard me crying about you, and he bitterly taunted me; and called you by a foul name; and then I did it; my heart could not bear it: he had nagged me about you before…”(Hardy 372) From what she says, we can learn the direct motive for her murder is that she can not bear Alec’s mockery. Thus, although we may sympathize with her, we deem that she is too impetuous. She could always live through bitter experience in the past, why does she give up in such a critical moment?7ConclusionTess is one of most significant tragic novels of Thomas Hardy. In this novel, the combination of internal and external factors leads to the inevitability of Tess’s tragedy. Among those factors Tess’s character is the subjective contributor to her destruction. She is the victim of her responsibility, pride, innocence and impulsiveness.Actually, the duality of Tess’s ambivalent character, such as humility and pride, ignorance and education, obedience and rebellion and so on, also causes her downfall. Perhaps those scholars who are interested in English literature study will have a good discussion about this subject in the upcoming years.Works CitedHardy, Thomas. Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
