商务英语和日常英语的写作词汇,到底有什么区别?

课件简介

商务英语本质归属英语,然而在细微处有它的独到之处,商务英语中的一些词汇会比日常英语词汇多一些含义和解释。一些日常耳熟能详的英语词汇放到某个特定的行业就会表达出不同的意思,比如下面这些词汇就能直观的看出二者的区别。

  Branch

  A branch might mean a part of a tree in regular English, but in business English, it refers to a local office.

  branch在日常英语中指树杈,是树的一部分,但在商业英语中,它指的是当地的办事处。

  Date

  A date might be commonly understood as a romantic outing. In business English, however, it translates to “appointment”.

  date可能通常被理解为浪漫的外出。 然而,在商务英语里,它意为“工作预约”。

  Party

  A party might refer to a festive event, but in business English, it can refer to a person/group of people involved.

  party可能是指节庆活动,但在商务英语中,它可以指涉及的一方人员/人群。

  同时,还有一些适用于大多数商业环境的词汇。

  Management

  “Management” refers to individuals who hold the responsibility of running a business.

  management是指负责经营企业的人。

  Asset

  An “asset” is any item that has a given value.

  asset是指具定值的任何东西。

  Invoice

  An “invoice” is a bill that itemises the goods and/or services provided, alongside the quantity purchased and their corresponding prices.

  invoice是指一份列出所提供的货物和/或服务,以及购买数量和相应价格的帐单。

  Consensus

  “Consensus” is used when individuals agree upon a proposal, an idea, or an opinion as a group.

  consensus 是用在一群人同意一项提案、构想或意见。

  英语作为国际通用语言,是不同国家不同经济文化对话的重要桥梁。随着英语的国际语言地位与日俱增,在国际化公司,英语自然而然成为了硬性要求,久而久之分支出“商务英语”。
