这是一个名词短语,中心词是“value”,通常不可数,但可加不定冠词“a”表示“一种价值”。作主语或宾语时,常与介词“of”连用,如“the going-concern value of the company”。常见句型有:1)“The going-concern value exceeds the liquidation value.”;2)“They valued the business at its going-concern value.”。易错点:不要将其拆开使用,如不能说“the value of going concern”,尽管有时“going-concern”可作形容词,如“going-concern assumption”。注意连字符:作复合形容词时需加连字符,如“going-concern value”,但单独指“持续经营”时写为“going concern”(不加连字符)。
该术语属于正式语域(formal),带有中性偏专业的色彩,无褒贬。常见误用包括:1)将“going-concern value”与“going concern”混淆,后者指“持续经营的企业”或“运转中的公司”,如“The company is a going concern.”(该公司经营正常。)2)误以为持续经营价值必然高于清算价值,但若企业长期亏损,其持续经营价值可能为负或低于清算价值。3)在非正式场合使用会显得突兀,日常沟通建议用“business value”代替。另外,注意拼写:标准写法为“going-concern value”,但有时也见“going concern value”,后者不够规范,在学术写作中应避免。
