第五篇：国际商务函电
电传
电传，或称为电传打字机（Tele-Type），是远距离打印交换的编写形式。电传既具有电话的快速，又具有打字机的准确，尤其是当电文中有资料时，这种优点表现得特别明显。人们普遍认为，电传这种通讯方式，除了具备高效性和精确性之外，还比电报和电话更为便宜。
电传是在传真机普遍使用以前的通信设备，其原理有点近似电报。早期国家政府单位、国有进出口公司皆普见使用，但现在基本上已经被传真机或互联网所取代。
特点
方便迅速
电传打印机可安装在办公室内，因而毋须到电报局去发电报，而且在给国外交易伙伴发电传时，可以即时得到对方的回和答，就像进行电话交谈一样方便。 手续简便。
惟一要做的事情是，将欲发出的电文转对成一系列孔眼并打制到纸带上，再通过电磁波将电文发往目的地。
自动收发。
即使不在办公室里，打印机也可在无人状态下自动收发电文，电文或许是一份书面交易档，这显然比电话交谈优越得多。
高效经济。
打印机每分钟可打400个浮点，根据《全美百科全书》记载，这种机器一分钟内可传送大约67个词。
在传真及电子邮件大量充斥于国际贸易各个领域的书面联络当中时，也许电报和电传方式早已被人们遗忘了，或者说了解有关这方面知识的人越来越少了。虽说电报和电传正逐步趋于淘汰，然而它们的确又在国际商务活动中起了非常重要的作用。因此，研究电报和电传，仍然具有重要的现实意义。
电传是比书信、电报更优越的书面交际手段。其优点主要如下：第一，传递速度快。发电人在发电传的同时收电人就可收到电文。因此，它比书信、电报的传递速度快。第二，费用低廉。由于电传按实际传送分钟数计费，它比电话、电报还要便宜，并且讯息越长，使用电传越经济。第三，使用方便。用户可随时在办公室内发出电文，从而避免了把电文送到电报局拍发的麻烦；用户还可在办公室内一天24
小时接收电文，即使在无人照看电传机的时候也能收到；用户可通过电传机互相交换意见。因而使用起来很方便。第四，文体自由。文体可接近书信语言，不致引起对方误会；它还可分段，排列成条列式或表格式发出，可读性强。
电传又称用户电报(香港、台湾称为国际电报交换)。电传(Telex)是“电传打字电报机间相互交换信息”(Tele面nter，Te。letypew五terExchange)的缩写词。电传作为一种先进的电信手段，始创于1930年，最先在德国开发成功。而后逐渐在世界各国得以使用。时至七、八十年代，世界上几乎每个国家、每个地区都普遍采用电传通信方式作为电信通信的主要手段。我国的国际电信系统是于70年代初开始受理国际电传业务的。1973年以来，我国各外贸机构先后装置了全套电传设施，直接与国外厂商联系，磋商交易。电传的使用比起电报来要方便得多。用户一天二十四小时内可随时在办公室内收、发电文，既避免了把电文送到电报局拍发的麻烦，又可在无入照看电传机的时候接收电文。因此，夜间收到的讯息可在第二天早上进行处理。尤其对于时差较大的国家之间来说，电传加快了其用户相互处理讯息的速度。在七、八十年代，电传的确在我国的进出口贸易中成为了主要的电信方式，在处理大量的、繁杂的外贸业务中起着重要的作用。需要说明的是，在当前的国际贸易业务中，电传已在很大程度上被传真所取代。但由于后者没有前者的保密性能好，电传仍被外交部门和一些商务机构使用。
