Part III Translation (将下面旳topic 由英文翻译成中文或者由中文翻译成英文，5x4=20 points)
Topic 1 Introduction to Financial Management
Financial management is an integrated decision-making process concerned with acquiring, financing, and managing assets to accomplish some overall goal within a business entity. Other names for financial management include managerial finance, corporate finance, and business finance. Making financial decisions is an integral part of all forms and sizes of business organizations from small privately-held firms to large publicly-traded corporations（翻译成中文）

Topic 2
A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners. This means that the corporation can own assets, enter into contracts, sue and be sued. Being a separate legal entity also implies that corporate income is taxable, thus giving rise to double taxation, i.e., corporate tax on profits plus personal tax on after-corporate-tax profits distributed to shareholders (the exception being a full imputation system). There is a separation of ownership (shareholders) and control (managers). Shareholders who hold shares in a corporation own the corporation. Shares represent a claim to corporate profits, which are distributed in the form of dividends, share repurchases, or acquisition payout, (e.g., management buyouts and tender offers). Shareholders have limiter liability. 翻译成中文）
