文摘
That's because a growing number of banks —— large and small —— are setting up venture arms to invest in private-equity deals with entrepreneurial companies.At a time when volatility in the stock market, reduced venture-capital investment, and a range of other economic concerns have put some constraints on capital raising, banks' increased involvement as investors is one trend that is .moving in the right direction for business owners.
"There are so many banks doing these kinds of deals now that they've quickly become a standard source of financing to pursue," says Gordon Tunstall, a financing intermediary whose firm,Tunstall Consulting Inc., is based in Tampa.When Tunstall recently raised 100 million for a software company that needed the funds to convert to an application-service-provider model that would substantially broaden its customer base, several banks were among the equity investors. "I'd have to say that they're interested in the same kind of deals that any other professionalprivate-equity investors would consider: companies with at least a 20% to 30% growth rate, good profit potential, and a clear exit strategy;, which might mean an IPO2 or a sale to a strategic partner,"Tunstall says.
Although the trend developed relatively quickly, it seemed for a while as though it might be confined to the nation's largest banks, with Chase3, Bank of America, and First Union emerging as big players."Throughout much of the late 1990s, large banks were successful in finding legal ways around the regulatory restrictions that had limited their abilities to underwrite securities4 and make equity investments," explains Jerome Walker, a partner and banking regulatory expert at Salans, Hertzfeld, Heilbronn, Christy &Viener, a law firm in NewYork City/q-hey were looking for ways to move beyond the small, community-based investments that the government had been encouraging them to make for decades."
The logic behind the appeal of equity was irresistible."The return that a bank can earn on a good private-equity investment is a lot more than the spread between the interest it pays for deposits and the interest it earns on loans," comments Sarah Miller, general Counsel for the American Bankers Association Securities Association, based in Washington, D.C. "This is why we're no longer just seeing the top-tier banks getting involved in what we call 'merchant banking' activities. Even the smaller banks are interested, and many have started getting their feet wet."
A friendlier regulatory environment has also helped clear the path.Although legal restrictionsstill exist —— largely to preserve the financial soundness of banks as they take on new risks —— many types of investment opportunities are now'possible, among them joint ventures or investing in common-stock deals, leveraged buyoutss, and mezzanine （or interim） financing.

序言
在“科教興國”的基本方針指引下，我國的研究生教育有了蓬勃的發展。隨著各層次、各類型研究生教學的開展，英語教學也面臨著越來越高的要求。《研究生英語系列教程》就是為了適應這一新的形勢而編寫的系統教材。
《研究生英語系列教程》是以教育部（原國家教委）頒布的《非英語專業研究生英語教學大綱》為依據，根據我國研究生教學的實際情況和國家對2l世紀高級技術與管理人才的要求進行編寫的。考慮到目前我國研究生層次多，其入學英語水平參差不齊，需要以不同水平為起點，因此本系列教程的編寫原則是：既從當前研究生的實際水平出發，也力求滿足新世紀對高層次人才的期望；既重視培養學生紮實的語言技能，更注重提高其全面的套用能力；既注意語言教育，更重視素質教育。
本系列教程具有以下特點：
1．在編寫中注意吸收我國在長期的研究生英語教學和教材編寫中積累的豐富經驗，同時充分採納國外的先進教學理論和方法，力求有所繼承又有所創新，使本系列教程成為具有中國特色的新一代研究生英語教材。
2．本系列教程統一設計，分工編寫，涵蓋了自研究生課程班學生、碩士生至博士生的全部教學過程。各個分冊目的明確，相互銜接，系統性強。由於我國研究生入學時的英語起點不一，對英語的教學目的和要求也不盡相同，因此各分冊又相對獨立，有利於在教學中根據學生的實際情況和水平靈活使用。既可以從第一冊開始，也可以從後續教材開始。可以使用全套教材，也可以針對本專業需要有所選擇地使用。
3．研究生階段培養的是高層次的專業人才，其英語教材應體現先進性和學術性。本系列教程務求內容新穎、知識性強，並且具有學術英語（Englishflor academicpurposes)的特點。同時，語言是交際工具，非英語專業研究生掌握英語的目的是為了進行國際信息交流和從事各種涉外業務活動，研究生英語教學也必須重視學以致用的原則。為此，本系列教程講求實用，選材廣泛，具有鮮明的時代特徵。
