潔心，謝謝你的回複。這句話的上下文是這樣的： They conclude that the critical approach best explains the current development of the accounting profession in the U.K., the United States and Australia. The critical approach has generally led to arguments that professions are dynamic outcomes of attempts to achieve closure by occupational groups. 我一開始也認為是“終結”，但是有點想不通，因為occupational groups應該是最不願意profession被“終結”的。 看了你英文學習的經曆，很是羨慕。我的口語還可以，雅思8分，但是聽力卻很差，有時會抓不住對方的確切意思，請問有什麽好的學習方法嗎？

Your article about "personal boundary" is very refreshing. Thanks! I am involved in a similar situation in which competition, backstabbing were all common to gain advantages from one or the other. Could you help me sometimes when I am getting confused?
