THE GRAHAM CO. Income Statement
THE GRAHAM CO. Statement of Cash Flows
II. Translate the following sentences into Chinese（40）
1.Most U.S. companies are not directly affected by international accounting standards. International standards are put forth as preferred accounting practices. However, stock exchanges and other parties are increasing the pressure to narrow differences in worldwide accounting practices. International accounting standards are playing an important role in that process.
2.The objectivity concept and cost principle are related in that most users consider information based on cost as objective. Information prepared using both is considered highly reliable and often relevant.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/6e552308.html,ers desire information about the performance of a specific entity. If information is mixed between two or more entities, its usefulness decreases.
4.The revenue recognition principle gives preparers guidelines on when to recognize (record) revenue. This is important; for example, if revenue is recognized too early, the statements report revenue sooner than it should and the business looks more profitable than it is. The reverse is also true.
5.The three basic forms of business organization are sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations.
6.Owners of corporations are called shareholders(or stockholders). Corporate ownership is divided into units called shares (or stock). The most basic of corporate shares is common stock (or capital stock).
7.An income statement reports a company's revenues and expenses along with the resulting net income or loss. A statement of owner's equity shows changes in equity, including that from net income or loss. Both statements report transactions occurring over a period of time.
8.The balance sheet describes a company's financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity) at a point in time. The equity amount in the balance sheet is obtained from the statement of owner's equity.
9.Cash flows from operating activities report cash receipts and payments from the primary business the company engages in. Cash flows from investing activities involve cash transactions from buying and selling long-term assets. Cash flows from financing activities include long-term cash borrowings and repayments to lenders and the cash investments from and withdrawals by the owner.
10．Expenses：Outflows or using up of assets as part of operations of a business to generate sales.
下面的范文中有很多错误，请找出形容词与副词的混淆、冠词的遗漏和误用、介词和代词的误用等错误，并检查句子的完整性、单词拼写、主谓的一致性、动词和现在分词是否混淆、复数形式、动词的时态、词汇选择、词性、单词的顺序等问题。 (几乎每个句子都有错误) An university education is a goal of many high school students. Some students want to go into a profession that requires an university degree. But there are other professions that do not require a degree, but require certification from a technological college. The reasons why students make decisions to go to technical college instead of university probably have a lot to do with their choice of career, their own academic abilities and their financial situation. First of all, students make their choices for post-secondary education based on the fields that interest them. A student who is interested in medicine might decide to university, into a pre-med program to prepare to become a doctor, or they might go to nursing school or a nursing program in a technical college. Some career choices offer a choice of educational route. The university route is usually more intense and takes longer. For example, an interior designer might take a one or two year program at a college, or choose to do the degree program as a part of the architectural department at a university. Other career choices involve certification that is available at a college, like broadcast journal or
2.1 数学、方程与比例 （1）数学来源于人类的社会实践，包括工农业的劳动，商业、军事和科学技术研究等活动。 Mathematics comes from man’s social practice, for example, industrial and agricultural production, commercial activities, military operations and scientific and technological researches. （2）如果没有运用数学，任何一个科学技术分支都不可能正常地发展。 No modern scientific and technological branches could be regularly developed without the application of mathematics. （3）符号在数学中起着非常重要的作用，它常用于表示概念和命题。Notations are a special and powerful tool of mathematics and are used to express conceptions and propositions very often. （4）17 世纪之前，人们局限于初等数学，即几何、三角和代数，那时只考虑常数。 Before 17th century, man confined himself to the elementary mathematics, i. e. , geometry, trigonometry and algebra, in which only the constants were considered. （5）方程与算数的等式不同在于它含有可以参加运算的未知量。 Equation is different from arithmetic identity in that it contains unknown quantity which can join operations. （6）方程又称为条件等式，因为其中的未知量通常只允许取某些特定的值。Equipment is called an equation of condition in that it is true only for certain values of unknown quantities in it. （7）方程很有用，可以用它来解决许多实际应用问题。 Equations are of very great use. We can use equations in many mathematical problems. （8）解方程时要进行一系列移项和同解变形，最后求出它的根，即未知量的值。To solve the equation means to move and change the terms about without making the equation untrue, until the root of the equation is obtained, which is the value of unknown term. 2.2 几何与三角 （1）许多专家都认为数学是学习其他科学技术的必备基础和先决条件。 Many experts recognize that mathematics is the necessary foundation and prerequisite of studying other science technology. （2）西方国家的专家认为几何起源于巴比伦和埃及人的土地测量技术，其实中国古代的数学家对几何做了许多出色的研究。 The western experts think that geometry had its origin in the measurements by the Babylonians and Egyptians of their lands. Infect, the ancient Chinese mathematicians made much remarkable study for geometry. （3）几何的学习使学生在思考问题时更周密和审慎，他们将不会盲目接受任何结论。 In studying geometry, the student is taught to think clearly and critically and he is led away from the practice of blind acceptance of any conclusions. （4）数学培养学生的分析问题的能力，使他们能应用毅力、创造性和逻辑推理来解决问题。

学期作业题目：我的历史观 学院历史学院课程名称专业英语学号20090867 姓名许静指导教师孙艳萍 2010 年8 月20 日
我的历史观 1、我的历史观本身就是一小段历史，但是这段历史并非属于我自己，他主要是其他人的历史，这是因为，作为一名学者，其毕生的工作就是要将自己的那桶水填入那条浩瀚的知识海洋中去，而这条河就是靠无数桶诸如此类的水养育的。如果我个人的历史观赋予启发性，或确实易懂，我的这种历史观必然在它的起源，发展以及社会和个人背景来呈现。 2、人类思想凝视宇宙的视角多种多样，为什么我是一名历史学家而不是哲学家或者是物理学家？同样的原因可以用来解释为什么我喝茶或咖啡不加糖。两种习惯由我母亲的影响下在我年少不更的孩童时代已经形成了。因为我母亲在我之前就是一名历史学家，所以我是一名历史学家，然而同时我一时是我与母亲不属于同样的学派，为什么我没有完全追随我的母亲呢？ 3、首先，我和我母亲不是一代人。因此当1914年历史将我们这一代人的脖子掐住之时，我的思想尚未僵固定型。其次由于与母亲所受的教育相比，我所受的教育更为保守。我母亲属于英国在现代西方是英国第一代接受大学教育的妇女。她在西方现代史方面是当代新教育的第一代人。以英国民族为主要的指导方针。在那个时期她的儿子进入了老式英国公立学校开始受教育，不管在那里还是在伦敦和牛津，几乎完全是希腊拉丁古典学。 4对于任何一位将要从事历史研究的人来说----特别是对于出生在这些时代的人来说，在我看来，古典教育能使人受益匪浅，作为思想训练的场所，希腊罗马世界的历史有着它显著的优点的。首先，希腊罗马史不以清晰地呈现在我们脑海里，而且我们不以从整体上来看待，因为这段历史已经终结了。与之相对比的是我们自己西方世界的历史，是我们仍然没有终结的戏剧，我们不知道喜剧的的结局。作为我们的临时演员在她那拥挤骚动的舞台上，我们甚至不能从自己的角度观看到当前的全貌。 5其次，希腊罗马这个领域没有大量的信息所阻碍或遮挡。因此我们能够看到这片森林----这是因为从希腊罗马社会消亡到我们这个社会出现之前的这一段空档期里，树木是出奇的稀疏，另外现存的便于管理的大量资料没有被地方性公国的公文在数量上没有超过西方世界的这样的资料。在前原子弹时代的数个世纪里，已成吨的大量现存的研究希腊罗马历史的资料不仅在数量上便于管理而且在质量上也是精选的。这些材料在性质上也是十分均衡的。在这里，雕像、诗歌和哲学著作的价值要远远高于哪些法律文书和条约文本。这也在受过希腊罗马史教育的历史学家心中滋生出一种意识；这是由于艺术家和文学家的作品比商人、士兵、政治家的事迹要更能经受住时间的考验，诗人和哲学家要胜过历史学家；然而先知家和圣人又比前面所有人更胜一筹。借助荷马和修昔底德的美妙词句，阿伽门农和伯里克利的灵魂依然出没于这个世界。虽然说荷马和修昔底德的著作如今已不再有人阅读，但可以有把握的语言对我们来说几乎难以置信的久远的那个年代人的心目中，基督，佛陀和苏格拉底必将依旧栩栩如生。 6、第三，或许希腊罗马历史最大的优点在于它的事业是全球性的而不是地方性的，可能雅典使斯巴达和罗马的萨莫奈黯然失色，然而雅典在其鼎盛时期成为全希腊的楷模。同时罗马在她的晚期，希腊罗马世界进入了单一的帝国。纵观希腊罗马史，统一都是主旋律。当我一直听这部伟大的交响乐时，我就不再害怕被本国的地方史那单一、古怪的音乐所迷惑。从前母亲成宿的分期给我讲述本国史时，我母亲那一代人教授历史的助教和教师不仅在英国本土而且在数个西方国家他们都大力提倡对民族史的研究。并错误地认为这与他们国民的生活更为密切。因此在某种意义上来说与其它地方史和时代历史相比本国的地方史是更易被他们所了解的历史。尽管事实上耶稣的巴勒斯坦和柏拉图的希腊比阿尔弗烈德大帝或者伊莉莎白女王时期的英国，维多利亚时代的英国人的生活影响更为强大。 7、然而尽管这样英国历史特殊推崇----这与尊者彼得英国历史之父的精神大相径庭，
