Ⅱ.About phonetics()Ⅲ.Background information(背景知识)商务英语的学习涉及得体的introduction(介绍)、greeting(问候)等基本会话，在这些基础上，还需要进一步地学习有关marking（市场）、sales(销售)等商务方面的知识。下面介绍一些比较基本的社交英语以及简单的商务知识。
1.介绍客人的礼节
聚会时经常会有互未谋面的客人。开席之前主人应该逐一介绍双方相识，然后再入座。介绍时一般先介绍女士、长者和高贵者。介绍两个地位不同的人认识时，应该先让地位较高的人士介绍地位较低的一方，其后再向年长的女士和年长的男士依长幼次序介绍年轻的女士和男士。
2.选用称谓的礼节
介绍时对双方的称谓和姓名以及用语，都要根据场合正式程序来选用。具体场合有三种。
1）正式场合：称谓和姓名用Dr./Professor/Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss/+First Name 和Last Name。
e.g 1.向地位较高的已婚女士介绍男士时可说：
Mrs.Carton, may I introduce James Harding.James, this is Mrs.Carton(or Mrs.Jane Carton).卡尔顿夫人，请让我介绍詹姆斯•哈定。詹姆斯，这位罗杰•卡尔顿夫人（或：简•卡尔顿夫人）。
2）向年长者介绍年轻的女士时可说：
Mrs.Baker, this is Miss Patricia Haly.Patty, this is Mr.Edgar Brown.布朗先生，这位是帕特丽夏•哈利小姐。帕蒂，这位是埃德加•布朗先生。
3）向长者介绍年轻的男士时可说：
Mr.Baker, this is Robert Green.Robert, this is Mr.John Baker.贝克先生，这位是罗伯特•格林，罗伯特，这位是约翰•贝克先生。
4）向年长者介绍18岁以下的女孩时可说：
This is Linda Bell, Mr.and Mrs.Alan Ross 艾伦•罗斯先生和夫人这位是琳达•贝尔。注意：
1)向长者介绍18岁以下的女孩时，介绍一方就行了。如例4），琳达即可向罗斯夫妇问候。
2)有时向地位高、年龄大的人介绍自己的伙伴时，不用称谓和姓。
e.g.Allow me, sir, to introduce you to my fellow travelers.先生，请容许我向你介绍我的旅伴。
1）较正式的场合：用Dr./Professor/Mr./Mrs./Miss.+姓氏。如被介绍者是青年男女，通常用First Name 和Last Name。
E.g.① Marie Green, let me introduce Professor Banks.Professor Banks, this is Marie Green.She's here to study for her doctorate in Law.玛丽•格林，让我向你介绍班克斯教授。班克斯教授，这位是玛丽•格林，是来这里攻读法律博士学位的。
②下面是较正式场合常用的介绍用语。
Rose Morison,I'd like you to meet Bruce Read.罗莎•莫里森，我想你见见布鲁斯•里德。
Rose Morison, have you met Bruce Read ? 罗莎•莫里森，你见过布鲁斯•里德吗？
Rose Morison, do you know Bruce Read ? 罗莎•莫里森，你认识布鲁斯•里德吗？
2）非正式场合：用被介绍者的First Name。
e.g.①美国人在非正式场合介绍双方时常用名字，有时介绍其父母时也只用名字。
“John, these are my parents, George and Sylvia.”“Pleased to meet you.”“约翰，这是我的父母，乔治和西尔维娅。“认识你们很高兴。””
②“Dad,this is my boyfriend,Kevin.”“Hello,Kevin.Andrea's told me all about you.”“老爸，这是我的男朋友凯文。“你好，凯文。安德莉总在我面前提到”你。”
③“Hi,Jack, meet my brother Tom.”“Hi there Tom!I didn't expect to see you here.”“你好，杰克，这位是我的哥哥汤姆。“你好，汤姆！没想到在这儿见”到你。”
4）自我介绍的用语：
①用于正式的和较正式的场合：
Let me introduce myself.My name is Frank Darney,legal advisor to Netcape Com.容许我来自我介绍，我叫弗兰克•达尼，是网景公司的法律顾问。②用于非正式场合：
Hello,I'm Alan Simmons.I work in the Forbes Parent Company.大家好，我叫艾伦•西蒙。我在福布斯总公司工作。
3.介绍后双方应行使的礼节
介绍后双方要互相问候，常用How do you do?或It's nice to meet you 等。如果是两位男士，通常握手以示相识，如是一男一女，应等女方伸出手，男方才可以伸出手相握；如若女方不伸手，男士是不应该主动伸手的。握手时用力要适中，太重了表现的过于热情（尤其同女士握手，太用劲会使女士产生squeeze的感觉），太轻了使对方感到敷衍了事，对人不尊敬。
介绍客人时切勿漏掉任何一个人。未介绍应该介绍的人会被视为不礼貌的行为，而没被介绍的人会被认为是不受欢迎的人。
此外，向外国朋友介绍中国同事或上级时，有两点值得注意：
①我们国家的习惯是介绍客人时常爱用官衔、职务或职业名称等冠于姓氏之前，但有些名称词在英语用法上却不用于姓氏前，如：secretary，director，engineer，manager，master等。所以，如要介绍说“这位是北京化工厂张厂长。”要说This is Mr.Zhang,Director of Beijing Chemical Plant.。
②介绍已婚女士时，要考虑到西方人的习俗：女士婚后改用其丈夫的姓，而我国女士婚后仍保持娘家姓氏。如介绍说“这位是邓教授的夫人。”英语若说成This is Mrs.Professor Deng.这就成了“邓太太是教授。”了。实情如此，倒也罢了。若不是实情，改用同位语方式作说明，或用“邓太太”，或用娘家姓——“李”，后接同位语说明身份。
e.g.This is Mrs.Deng,wife of Professor Deng.This is Ms.Li,wife of Professor Deng.总之，向外宾介绍我国人士要“入乡随俗”。

Part 3 Knowledge and Skills.Translation 直译与意译
英汉的结构有相同的一面，汉译时可照译，即所谓“直译”——既忠实原文内容，又符合原文结构形式。但这两种语言之间还有很多差别，如完全照译，势必出现“英化汉语”，这时就需要“意译”，在忠实原文内容的前提下，摆脱原文结构束缚，使译文符合汉语规范。特别需要注意的是：“直译”不等于“死译”，“意译”也不等于“乱译”。
1）直译与死译
原文结构与汉语结构是一致，照译即可。但如果原文结构与汉语不一致，任然采取直译的方法，就成“死译”了。
e.g.In some automated plants electronic computers control the entire production line.在某些自动化工厂,电子计算机控制整个生产线.(直译)
The earth acts like a big magnet 地球的作用就像一块大磁铁.(直译)
Manganese has the same effect on the strength of steel as silicon 锰有同样影响,在强度
上像硅.(死译)
第2第3句译文既不忠实原意,又不符合汉语表达方式,因此,必须运用“词类转换”、“成分转换”、“词（语）序调整”等手段使译文通顺。两句应分别译为“地球作用像一块大磁铁”、“锰像硅一样，会影响钢的强度”。
2）意译与乱译
只有在正确理解原文基础上，运用相应翻译方法以调整原文结构，用规范汉语加以表达，这才真正做到“意译”。翻译时间证明，大量英语句子汉译都要采用“意译法”。
如果把“意译”理解为凭主观臆想来理解原文，不分析原文结构，只看词面意义，自己编造句子，势必造成“乱译”。
e.g.It’s easy to compress a gas，it is just a matter of reducing the space between the molecules，Like a liquid a gas has no shape，but unlike it will expand and fill any contain it is put in.气体是很容易压缩，这正是压缩分子之间距离根据。气体和液体一样没有形状，但又不同于液体，气体膨胀时会充满任何盛放它容器。（乱译）
例句中“乱译”是有主观臆想（不正确选择词义，任意转换成分）造成。在这里，将matter译成“根据”在物理学上是讲不通的，因为“压缩气体也就是减少分子之间距离”，两者是一回事。Matter 应作“事情”“问题”解。
将will expand任意转换为时间状语，不符合原文原意。Will expand and fill 应译为“会扩张并充满”。综上所述，原译文可改为“气体很容易压缩，那只不过是缩小分子之间距离而已。气体和液体一样没有形状，但又不同于液体，因为气体会扩张并充满任何盛放它的容器”。

restaurant in San Bernadino, California.They carefully chose a busy corner for their location.They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant, and then another drive-in.But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas.To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents.Cheese was another four cents.Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks“ sticking to their routine.Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch.People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime.The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened.They were content with this modest success untilthey met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines.He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers” fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants.The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu.The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.Today McDonald“s is really a household name.Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent

Passage2
You“re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need;let”s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.Isn“t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University?
More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools.A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say theydeal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of aboutone per week.Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then.If it turns out that an applicants lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly.One Ivy League school calls them impostors（骗子）;another refers to them asspecial cases.One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made byno such people.To avoid outright（彻底的）lies, some job-seekers claim that they attended or were associated with a college or university.After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that attending means being dismissed after one semester.It may be that being associated with a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend.One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century-that”s when they began keeping records, anyhow.If you don"t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony（假的）diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of non-existent colleges.The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from Smoot State University.The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the University of Purdue.As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.6.The main idea of this passage is that
.A）employers are checking more closely on applicants now
B）lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem
C）college degrees can now be purchased easily
D）employers are no longer interested in college degrees
7.According to the passage, special cases refer to cases where
.A）students attend a school only part-time B)students never attended a school they listed on their application
C）students purchase false degrees from commercial films
D）students attended a famous school
8.We can infer from the passage that
.A）performance is a better judge of ability that a college degree
B）experience is the best teacher
C）past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do
D）a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job petition
9.This passage implies that
.A）buying a false degree is not moral
B）personnel officers only consider applicants from famousschools
C）most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school D）society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications
10.As used in the first line of the second paragraph, the word utter means
.A）address B）thorough C）ultimate D）decisive

Ten ways to improve your career
Ajilon Finance, a leading staffing and recruiting services firm, offers the following tips for getting ahead in your career.Make a list of your priorities and outline your tasks for the day.Write down your short-and long-term goals, evaluate your progress fre-quently and stay focused.Are you really present? You may physically be at work, but are you there mentally?
Learn how to work through others.Delegating tasks is an important skill to master at any level.Always look for opportuni-ties to broaden your skills.For example, you can attend professional development seminars.Socialise with colleagues.This will help you learn about what’s happening in other departments.Create your own goals.Determine where you want to be professional and what skills you need to reach that goal.Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.Accept chal-lenges that force you to try something new.Be clear about what you want.If you believe you deserve a promotion, ask for one.Take time off and relax.Attending to your personal life and doing things that make you happy will help your performance at work.Seek satisfaction.If you’re disappointed by your current career, look for ways to transform your job into more of what you want.If this does not solve the problem, maybe it’s time to look for a new position.‘If you follow this advice, you will significantly increase your opportunities to earn more money, get promoted sooner and move ahead faster,’ says Mr Lebovits, President and Chief Operating Officer of Ajilon Finance.Ten ways to improve your career
