It is based on Chapter 9, the cost of capital, in Financial Management: Theoiy and Practice (15th

31、 edition). In the process of translation, the author has found a large number of conversions of part of speech, which has a great impact on the quality of translation.The translation strategy of conversion of part of speech is of various types and the translation methods are complicated, which is bo

32、th the key point and the difficulty in the translation of the source text.

In view of the above characteris

33、tics of business English, the author of this paper ensured the vocabulary translation professional, the content of the omission, as far as possible to achieve accurate translation of the original information during the process of translation.1.4 Translation Task SignificanceFinancial management, as

34、a separate discipline, lasts only half a century long. On the one hand, financial management, as a comprehensive discipline, requires economics, accounting, strategic management and statistics as preparatory knowledge. On the other hand, many functional areas of management are more or less related t

35、o financial management, and even the ultimate goal, performance and means of marketing management, human resource management and other fields can be partly included in the scope of financial management research. The importance of financial management has been demonstrated by the fact that it has alw

36、ays ranked the first among all disciplines in terms of practicality and popularity in several graduation surveys of students from some key MBA programs in China.Introducing western classical financial management theory into China is a recent event.For a long time, constrained by the planned economy

37、system, domestic financial management discipline attaches to accounting, emphasizing cost control and post-accounting, which is far from the trend of modem mainstream financial management focusing on cash flow and financial forecast. The introduction of the latter is of great significance for Chines

38、e enterprises to face the increasingly fierce market competition, make rational and effective use of resources, especially various financing instruments in the capital market, and obtain and extend their core advantages to reward investors.As Chinas economy is still in the transition period, the pro

39、duct market and capital market are still very underdeveloped, the main aspects of financial management are different from western developed countries, which the reader must pay attention to when reading this book. To be specific, it can be roughly summarized into the following aspects: 1. From the p

40、erspective of capital budget and investment analysis, many Chinese enterprises ignore the cost of equity for a long time and put one-sided emphasis on accounting profit margin, resulting in improper investment or low return rate. The feasibility analysis of investment project often evolves into a to

41、ol to interpret the empirical decision-making, which fails to serve the purpose of scientific decision-making. 2. Due to the motivation of domestic listed companies to make money, the scarcity of listing qualifications of listed companies in the stock market, the speculative pursuit of short-term re

42、turns by investors, and the development of the bond market, especially the corporate bond market, the order of financing preference of enterprises is obviously different from that of western countries. From the perspective of financing cost, the most favored financing method of Chinese enterprises i

43、s equity, not debt, which ultimately infringes the interests of shareholders. The performance of listed companies after listing declines, as evidenced by the decline in stock price. 3. The current situation of non-tradable controlling shareholders and tradable shareholders in the domestic stock mark

44、et leads to conflicts of interest between non-tradable controlling shareholders and tradable shareholders, in which major shareholders empty the listed companies and occupy the interests of small and medium shareholders. Dividend policy is also often reduced to another way for large shareholders to

45、“round the money”，rather than an equal return to all shareholders in the absence of better investment opportunities. 4. The goal of pursuing the maximization of enterprise value has not penetrated into all aspects of enterprise management, including financial management. Enterprise behaviors that de

46、viate from the above goals often occur.Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. The practice of enterprises in Chinas economic transition period calls for the development of financial management theory with Chinese characteristics. We believe that the introduction of an exce

47、llent western financial management textbook like this one will surely facilitate and accelerate this process.PROCESS DESCRIPTIONChapter Two PROCESS DESCRIPTIONFinancial management is an important indicator to evaluate the financial status and operation of an enterprise.
