9、话、外来词、,缩略语以及一般词语在商务英语语境中的特,殊用法。,（,1,）专业术语类：,Trimming charges,平仓费,insurance policy,保险单,coverage,保险项目,establishment,开证,counter-suggestion,反还盘,surcharges,附加费,.,13,pro forma invoice,premium,clearance sale,underwriter,保险人,L/C,CIF,FOB,bid,C.B.D.,counter-offer,irrevocable letter of credit,.,14,pro forma in

13、,量运用。商务,信函中的时间，价格，数量,，金额，规格等问题贯穿商贸活动始终，数,字的表达应言之确凿，避免摸棱两可。,例如：,The vender shall deliver the goods to,the vendee by June 15.,卖方须于,6,月,15,日或之前将货物交给买方。,The market here for this product is active,and the best price we can offer is US$150 or,over per long ton.,该产品在本地的销售看好，我方出价可达每,长吨,150,美元或以上。,.,18,1,1,3

14、,用语朴素、淡于修饰,商贸信函的主要功能是传递信息，使收、发信,函双方发生贸易往来、达成交易，因此除了必,须使用专业术语等手段准确传达自己的信息意,图外，还要求信函语言明白易懂，朴实平易。,例如：,Dear Sirs,Thank you for your interest in our fireworks.,In reply to your enquiry of November 15,we,are really sorry to say that we cannot divulge any,of our sales information.We hope this will not,brin

15、g you too much inconvenience.,Yours truly,.,19,敬启者：,承蒙贵方对我们的烟花感兴趣，十分,感谢。,兹复贵方,11,月,15,日询价函，我们非常抱歉地,奉告，我们不泄露我方任何销售情况。我们希,望这不会给贵方带来很多不便。,敬上,.,20,1,2,语法使用特点,1,2,1,句子类型,英语句子按使用目的可以分为四类：,陈述句（,Declarative Sentences,）,疑问句（,Interrogative Sentence,）,祈使句（,Imperative Sentences,）,感叹句（,Exclamatory Sentences,）,.,

16、21,（,1,）商务信函主要使用陈述句。,例如：,Dear Sirs,We thank you for your promptness in,delivering the coffee we ordered on 20th,July.,The number of bags delivered by your,carrier,this morning was,however,160 whereas our,order was for only 120.,Unfortunately,our present needs are,completely covered and as we cannot

18、生硬刻板，比,陈述句更有礼,貌。,.,23,Please look into the matter at once and let us,have your definite reply by cable without any,further delay.,请立即调查此事，并尽快电告,确切答复。,（,3,）疑问句也可用来表达写信人的观点或向对,方提议，疑问句给对方留有更大的余地，更,有礼貌，它的使用频率比祈使句相对要多。,Would you please send us a copy of your,catalogue?,能否向我公司邮寄一份贵公司的产品目录？,（,4,）感叹句虽然可以渲染气

19、氛，增强语势，但,与函电英语讲求客观、严谨的文体不符，因,此感叹句在函电英语中极少使用。,.,24,Translation,FED,于,9,月,15,日向银行系统注入了一笔,为数,700,亿美元,的资金,.,今日送上第三号混合燕麦样品,请查收,.,报价为,FOB,旧金山,每夸特,10,美元,.,FED invested a$70 billion capital into the banking system,on September 15th.,We are sending you a sample of No.3 mixed oats,offering,you at$10.00 per qr

22、m will,have to be charged.,破碎险是一种特殊险种,需额外收费,.,.,27,1,2,2,句式结构,从结构看，英文句子可以分成三种类型：,简单句（,Simple Sentences,），并列句（,Compound Sentences,），,复合句（,Complex Sentences,）,函电英语采,用大量的并列句和复合句。,（,1,）复合句与简单句结合，以复合句为主：,为了保证考究的句式和严密的逻辑性，函电,英语往往需要将连续的短句结合成一个独立,的主从复合句或并列句。,.,28,复杂句,The Credit could cover 85%of the,local e

23、xpenses if they are made under,the responsibility of the British,Contractor and within the limit of the,down payments paid on the Contract,i.e.,15%as a maximum.,.,29,此项贷款可支付当地费用的,85%,。,但此项费用必须是英国承包商直接,负责支付的，并必须在合同头期款,的幅度以内，即最高不得超过头期,款的,15%,。,.,30,该句是主从复合句，由从属连词,if,引导的,状语从句包含了两个前提条件，使主句,的行为范围受到严格限制，从

24、而使全句,逻辑严密。,复合句结构复杂，表达完备周密；简,单句则结构简单，简洁明快。函电英语,对严谨和简洁都有要求，目的在于追求,准确严谨的语言风格，因此复合句的使,用虽普遍，但不排斥简单句的使用。,.,31,1,2,2,句式结构,（,2,）常用并列结构,用,and,连接并列结构，使表达更精确。,Eg,：,This contract is made by and between the,two parties.,双方签定本合同。,用,or,引导的选择性并列结构，是内容更严谨,全面。,.,32,Eg,：,Any dispute arising from the,execution of,or in

25、 connection with the,agreement,shall be settled through,friendly consultations between the two,parties.,.,33,在本合同执行中引起的或与本合,同有关的争议应有双方通过友好协,商解决。,.,34,函电英语中常用的连用同义词还有：,amendments to/or alterations of,修改,force and effect,效力,fulfill and provide,履行,furnish and provide,提供,obligations and responsibilities

26、,义务,make and enter into,达成,.,35,1,2,2,句式结构,（,3,）状语位置独特,商务函电中，较长的状语经常出现在主谓语之间，一般文体的主谓语间不,放长状语。,Eg,：,The Contractor shall,if called upon,so to do,enter into and execute the,Contract,to be prepared and completed at,the cost of the employer,in the form,annexed to these conditions with such,modification

27、as may be necessary.,.,36,在被邀签约时，承包人应同意签,订并履行合同，该合同是由业主按,照本合同条件所附格式拟定，如有,必要可对其进行修改。该合同的拟,定和签订费用由业主承担。,.,37,商务函电的状语从句中，,if,，,when,，,in,case,等连词与从句的主体之间可放谓语,，一般文体的状语从句中则不可。,Eg,：,If,after 30 days from the,commencement of such informal,consultations,the parties fail to,resolve amicably a contract disput

28、e,either party hereto may require that,the dispute be submitted to,arbitration for resolution.,.,38,在非正式协商开始,30,天后，如,果双方仍不能友好地解决合同争端,，任何一方都可以要求将争端提交,仲裁解决。,.,39,1,2,3,虚拟语气的运用,英语中共有三种语气：陈述语气,（,the Indicative Mood,），祈使语气,（,the Imperative Mood,），虚拟语气,（,the Subjunctive Mood,）。,虚拟语气可表主观愿望和假想虚拟,的情况，并可使语气委婉

29、，谓语有,should,，,would,，,could,，,might,加动,词原形构成。,.,40,Dear Mr.Smith,Thanks for your promptness,in sending us the credit,information we requested.We are,glad to report that all of your,credit references spoke favorably,of you as a businessman.,.,41,The new store which you are opening in,Broadway,should,
