1. 掌握一定的商务英语词汇、片语和句型。

 

 　　(1)词汇方面

 

　　如commercials指广播、电视或电影院中播放的广告，还可指商业公司的股票。例如：

 　　The TV show was interrupted by too many commercials.

 　　电视节日被太多的广告给打断。

 

 　　(2)片语方面

 

 　　如soft selling软推销，指一种使用静悄悄的，不引人注意的诱导手段推销商品的方法，是一种“间接的”销售方法。与hard selling相对。hard selling是“商接的”销售方法，通过不断重复产品的名称及其优秀的品质，使用一些有力的，但不一定受欢迎的手段去推销产品。例如：

 　　Some salespeople adopt a direct’ hard sell’ approach, while others use a more indirect’ soft sell’ approach.

有些商人采用直接的“硬销售法”，而有的商人使用更间接的“软销售法”。 　　

 

 

      (3) 句型方面

 

 　　有必要掌握一些国际商务英语中常用的句型，例如：

 ▽ We are writing in connection with„

    今来函关于...

 

 　　▽ I noted with interest your advertisement for...

    我饶有兴致地读到贵公司...的广告。

 

     ▽ Yes, that's true，but on the other hand，

     „没错，但另一方面...

 

 　　▽ That's exactly what I think.

     这和我不谋而合。

 

 　　▽ Maybe. but don't you think„?

     也许吧，但是你认为...如何?

 

 

 　　这些句型看似简单，但要做到在从事国际商务活动中对这些常用句型信于拈米也非易事。平时要多积累这样一些非常实用的句型和片语。又例如： 　　

 

  ▽ You are wanted on the phone.

  有你的电话。

 

  ▽ As requested. we enclose„for your attention.

  应贵方要求，今随函寄上...请查收。

 

 

(4) 旧词“新义”

 

 　　有些单字，可能学生早已学过，但在商务环境下，意思有所不同。那么，对他们来说便是新单字，必须同样牢记。例如：

 

 　▽ protest 拒付(票据等)

The cheques he issued were a all protested.他开出的支票均遭拒付。

　　

   ▽ honour 承兑 　　

All credit cards honoured here. 各种信用卡这里均通用

 

       ▽ protect 备款以支付... 　　

We hope you will duly protect our draft on presentation.望贵方在汇票提示时及时予以兑付。

 

     　▽ factor 独立代理商。

在英国，factor是一种特殊代理人，受他人委托进行贸易活动，收取佣金，佣金的多少取决于其业绩。 　　

The factor is active in financing product imports to the US.

该代理商为产品输入美国积极筹资。

 

    　 ▽ royalty 专利/版权等的使用费;提成费;特权。 　　

Besides copyright，the writer got a 10-percent royalty on sales.

除拥有版权外，作者得到百分之十的版税。

 

 

 (5) 同义词、近义词、相似词的辨析

 

 　　国际商务英语学习者往往对一些商务英语中的同义词、近义词、相似词分辨不清，特别是在工作中由于选词不当，造成误解。

 

    例如，credit card(信用卡)与letter of credit(信用证)之间其实毫无关系，但有的学生不知其问的差别。

 

    又如，quotation和offer都有“报价”的意思，有什么区别呢?再如，表示公司的英语单字有不少，如：firm，company，corporation，branch，incorporation subsidiary，affiliated company等，它们之间意思有何不同?

 

    又如，B/L和B/E有什么差别呢?对这样一些词之间的差别，商务英语学生应该明白。

 

 　　举个例子：

 

 　　▽ Chairman，President，CEO，Managing Director，General Manager 　　

 

▲ Chairman的意思是“董事长”，他是股份公司董事会的最高负责人，是常设的业务执行及代表人，是负责主持公司董事会会议的人。当董事会成员对某项决策意见不统一时，董事长拥有决策权。许多公司董事长兼作公司的执行总裁。 　　

 

▲ President在美国英语中相当于英国英语的Chairman(of the Board)。

 

▲ CEO是Chief Executive Officer的首字母缩写，其意思是“首席执行官”，也可以将其翻译为“总裁”。“总裁”是公司的最高行政主管。

 

在美国英语中，“President”也指“总裁”。有的公司的董事长和总裁由两人担任。总裁的位置仅次于董事长(chairman)，高于副董事长(Vice-Chairman)。 　　Managing Director与General Manager都可翻译为“总经理”，但是，两者有所不同。

 

对一个普通的没有董事会的公司来说，“总经理”是该公司的最高领导者。但是，假定A公司是一个设有董事会的股份有限公司，该公司管辖许多分公司，分公司的最高领导者也被称为是“总经理(GM)”，而总公司(Head Office/Headquarters)的“总经理”应翻译成“Managing Director(MD)”。Managing Director仅次于Chairman。CEO有逐步取代MD的趋势。

 

 　　又例如：

 

 　　▽ discount，deduction，rebate，allowance

 

▲ discount的意思是“打折”。

 

▲ trade discount指的是制造商、批发商给零售商的折扣。像商店的“打折”，就是discount。若某商品原价是100英镑，现在该商品打九五折，英语为：5%discount。deduction的意思是“广泛的减价”。
