洁心，谢谢你的回复。这句话的上下文是这样的： 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. 我一开始也认为是“终结”，但是有点想不通，因为occupational groups应该是最不愿意profession被“终结”的。 看了你英文学习的经历，很是羡慕。我的口语还可以，雅思8分，但是听力却很差，有时会抓不住对方的确切意思，请问有什么好的学习方法吗？

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?
