序言

随着我国加入WTO，越来越多的国内企业参与到国际竞争中来，用国际上通用的语言思考、工作、交流的能力也越来越受到重视。这样一种能力也成为我国各类人才参与竞争的一种有效工具。国家教育机构、各类院校以及一些主要的教材出版单位一直在思考，如何顺应这一发展潮流，推动各层次人员通过学习来获取这种能力。双语教学就是这种背景下的一种尝试。
双语教学在我国主要指汉语和国际通用的英语教学。事实上，双语教学在我国教育界已经不是一个陌生的词汇了，以双语教学为主的科研课题也已列入国家“十五”规划的重点课题。但从另一方面来看，

~The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AMF) supervises the oper- ations of the securities markets.
