　　自從1979年中國(guó)對(duì)外開放以來，北京在吸引投資合資企業(yè)方面已取得了顯著成績(jī)。根據(jù)圖示，不同企業(yè)的投資者來自26個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)。香港的投資額居第一位，占總額的44%。 日本占19.2%，居第二位。美國(guó)為第三，占16%。

　　普遍認(rèn)為，北京從外部投資中受益匪淺。首先，大量合資企業(yè)已經(jīng)建立，這就大大促進(jìn)了“首都經(jīng)濟(jì)”的發(fā)展。其次，外資企業(yè)為北京市民提供了許多就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。這又緩解了北京的下崗工人問題。最后，由于北京和沿海開放城市一樣享有許多優(yōu)惠政策，所以高科技產(chǎn)業(yè)在首都迅速發(fā)展。

　　至于吸引外資的措施，我認(rèn)為有如下幾點(diǎn)。一方面，我們應(yīng)該專門努力來改善投資環(huán)境。另一方面，我們應(yīng)該抓住機(jī)遇把目前的外資企業(yè)管理好。

　　Since China opened its door to the outside world in 1979, Beijing has made remarkable results in attracting foreign business to invest in joint ventures. According to the pie chart, the investors in different enterprises come from 26 countries and regions. Hong Kong investment ranks first, accounting for 44 per cent of the total. Japan’s investment makes up 19.2 per cent, putting it in second spot. Third is the United States at 16 per cent.

　　It is generally believed that Beijing benefits a lot from the outside investment. In the first place, a large number of joint ventures have been set up, which contributes greatly to the development of Capital Economy. Secondly, the foreign-invested enterprises offer a lot of jobs to the residents in Beijing. This in turn relieves the problem of laid-off workers in the city. Finally, the high-tech enterprises in the capital will grow rapidly as Beijing enjoys the same preferential policies as coastal cities open to the outside world.

　　As far as the measures to attract outside investment are concerned, I think they are as follows. On the one hand, we should make special efforts to improve the investment environment. On the other hand, we should take advantage of this opportunity to run the present foreign-invested enterprises efficiently. ( 210 words )
