第一篇:商务英语的学习重点
不同的目的商务英语学习的重点也不同
导读:如果你想吃饭,你就不应该去兰州拉面馆去吃。目的不同,要走的路也是不一样的。所以我们在进行商务英语学习,要仔细分析自己的实际能力还有想要达到的目的,来选择方向。
就算是在完全相同的条件下,两个不同的人,最后会走上的路也会是有很大的区别的。因为我们每个人都有自己的特性,所有学习同样的东西效果都是不一样的。在进行商务英语学习的时候,我们也需要根据自己的目的,找到学习的方向和重点。
所以下面我们就针对商务英语学习的不同目的来介绍一下。如果说大家的需求重点是面试英语、以及英语应用能力的话,在这个时候,再说准备考什么BEC初级中级高级,可能已经来不及了。毕竟就算现在报名,也要到今年下半年才能参加考试。这种情况,建议大家先抛开“证书”,直接针对性地学习。如果你希望进入外企,但是却因为英语问题在面试中屡次受挫;如果你是即将毕业的应届生,正因面试经验不丰富而苦恼,这样的话,最合适的莫过于针对性教授面试经验的课程了。
看过上面的针对不同的商务英语学习目的所提的建议之后,你是不是也有些收获呢?我们不论要做什么事情,都要学会“量力而行”,如果不考虑自己的实际情况,就瞎努力,最后也只会是你付出多少,最后的结果就有多惨而已。更多学习内容请见美联英语学习网。

标识的语言特点
1.大量使用名词短语、动词短语或动名词http://www.xiexiebang.com/
具有指示、说明性质的标识往往使用名词短语,以直接、准确无误地传达特定信息。如Fast Lane快行道、Conference Centre会议中心、Food & Beverage餐饮部、Business Centre商务中心、Road Work正在施工、Tollgate收费站、Check-in登记入住、Baggage Office行李房等。而具有强制、限制性质的标识大多使用动名词或祈使句,以将公众的注意力集中在所要求采取的行动上。如No Spitting严禁随地吐痰、Please Do Not Disturb 请勿打扰、Mind the Gap注意站台缝隙、Please Use Revolving Door请使用旋转门、Beware Obstruction小心障碍。在翻译过程中我们也应采用相应的名词短语或祈使句句式,力求在语气、信息度等方面做到较好的匹配。
2.文笔凝练、措辞精确
标识多省略冠词、代词、助动词等,仅使用实词、核心词汇,以供人们在最短的时间了解最准确、最直接的信息。从词汇方面来看,尽量减少复杂词汇和多种时态的动词;从句型方面考虑,简单明了的祈使句是标识用语常用的句型。标识语的字数往往精简到最低限度,如City Bus Only市内公共汽车专用、Post-paid邮资已付、Danger危险、Admission Free免票入场、Beverage Not Included酒水另付等,只需短短两三个单词就表明了意思。此外,标识用语有时甚至会借用一些简单的字母或数字代替单词,例如:4 SALE出售、Merry X’mas圣诞快乐,等等。
3.具有很强的规约性
由于历史沿革和语言文化习惯等因素,很多标识用语的翻译都已约定俗成,不宜随意变更。如“油漆未干”可能会被译作“The paint is not dry.”或“The paint is wet.”,这些译法虽然从语法来讲完全正确,但容易造成理解上的障碍或不便,因此不宜采用。事实上,这个标识语 “地道”的译法是“Wet Paint”,既简洁明了又完全符合英美人的语言习惯。类似的例句还有“双向行驶”、“远离火源”,分别译为“Two Way” 和“Keep Fire Away”。在标识语翻译中,译者应多留意英美国家常用的规范标准的标识用语,尽量使用和汉语标识相应的、地道得体的英语语汇进行翻译。
4.使用大写字母,省略标点符号
如STOP、EXIT、DEAD END等,汉译英时,英文需大写。
5.语言运用力求引人注目。
尤其是商业标识(Business Signs)及店铺的招牌(Signboard),更要追求夸张的效果。例如EOM(End of Month)Sale月终大廉价、Grand Sale/Bargain Sale大甩卖、Big Price Plunge大削价,等等。
标识的翻译
II.标识的翻译技巧(2)1.去繁从简
在特定的语境中,某些标识在被翻译成另一种语言时,其语用的含义比词语本身的含义更重要。这时,译者应删除繁琐部分,仅保留足以传达标识语功能和目的的词汇。例如:“青岛是我家,清洁靠大家”常被译作 “Qingdao is our home, its cleanness depends on all of us”。从表面上看,该译法似乎说得过去,字字忠实于原文。但仔细分析不难发现,该译法明显受中文表达习惯的影响,不仅累赘,而且容易让外籍人士产生困惑。正确的翻译应该是“Keep Our City Clean”。该译法既简洁凝练,又意图明确。类似地,“注意安全,请勿攀爬单边墙”(Pay attention to your safety, don’t climb the single wall.),“遇到火灾,勿用电梯”(When there is a fire,don’t use the elevator!)就可以相应地简化为 “No Climbing!”,“Don’t use the elevator in case of fire!”。
2.遵从习惯,使用规范标准的标识语
标识用语具有很强的规约性。受语言习惯的影响,很多标识语的翻译都已约定俗成,不宜随意改动。例如:我们外出常见到的“小草微微笑,请你走便道”、“请勿践踏”等标识语就不能生硬地译为“Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on pavement.”,而要按照英语的习惯直接翻译成“Keep Off the Grass”。再比如:“前方修路,请慢驾驶”和“该路段为单行道”可以按英语习惯分别翻译为“Road Work Ahead”和“One-Way”。
3.程式化套译
英文标识语的结构比较固定,程式化的套语运用广泛,因此翻译时可以采用程式化套译。例如表达“禁止做某事”可以套译为“No+名词或动名词”的形式,如禁止掉头No U Turn、禁止入内No Admittance、禁止停车No Parking、禁止吸烟No Smoking等;表示“专用”,可以采用“名词+Only”的形式,如贵宾专用VIP Only、儿童专用Children Only等;表示“请勿做某事”,可以采用“Do Not +动词”的表达方式,如请勿触摸Do Not Touch、请勿扔垃圾Do Not Litter等。4.反面着笔http://www.xiexiebang.com/
英汉两种语言在逻辑思维方面存在着差异,在翻译时,可从反面着笔把原意表达出来。标识语的翻译可以通过这种方法成功地实现汉英转化。如“请勿将头伸出窗外”翻译为“Keep Head Inside Vehicle”而不是正面表达为“Don’t put your head out of the window.”。再比如:请勿触摸Hands Off、无烟商场Smoking Free Store、工地危险,禁止入内Danger,Building Site,等等。

常用翻译方法
常用翻译方法系列:直译法和意译法(1)
直译是指译文不仅表达原文的内容,还保留原文的表达形式,比如保留原文所使用的比喻、形象、民族特色等,使读者从译文中能得到与原文大致相同的感受。直译法一方面有助于保留原文的风格,另一方面又有助于从他国引进一些新鲜、生动的词语和表达方法。但直译并不是死译或硬译。例如:
(1)In some automated plants, electronic computers control the entire production line.译:在某些自动化工厂,电子计算机控制整个生产线。(直译)(2)Demand has the same effect on the height of price as production.需求有同样的影响在高度的价格上像生产。(死译)
译文:该翻译既不忠实原意,又不符合汉语的表达方式。正确的译法为:
需求像生产一样会影响价格。
(3)Challenge the limits 挑战极限(三星)
(4)Winning the hearts of the world 赢取天下心(法国航空公司)
(5)Hand in Hand, Future in Your Hand 伴你同行,齐握未来(太平洋人寿)
(6)Striving today for all your tomorrows 为你未来,做好现在(中银集团)

(1)Authoritarian
The boss is very much the top person.He or she is there to give orders and the others are there to receive instructions.He or she make proposals, allows only a brief discussion and then ask for endorsement of the decision.You want an experienced leader to draw on his knowledge and skill and issue orders for action that will solve a problem.(2)Inclusive
The person in charge seeks to involve all present in the discussion.He or she seeks out alternative viewpoints, repeatedly ask for opinions, and ask if everyone thinks the proposed course of action is appropriate.Decision can be difficult to reach or them may be avoided completely.There is a danger that each person present can go away with a different impression of what has been decided.(3)Combat

1.宴会礼仪 The setting;Entering the dining room, if you are in a small group, the host will indicate where you should sit.Women sit down before men, with the men pulling out the chair first.Then the men sit down.In a mixed group, hosts will generally try to ensure a man—woman seating arrangement at the table.The food:
Use the big knife and fork to cut pieces into manageable size before moving them to your mouth.Do not chew large, bony, pieces in your mouth and never, ever, spit food back onto the plate or onto the tablecloth.If it is all too difficult, eat a few pieces and the accompanying vegetables.Separate trips for cold food and hot food.Do not put savory food and sweet food together on the plate.Drinking:If you do not drink alcohol, then tell the waiter the first time he asks and he will take the wine glasses away so that you are not asked again if you would like wine.Turning a glass upside down also indicates that a person is not drinking.Most non-drinkers just have water with their meal but you can ask for tea or a soft drink if you wish.Talking:
Remember to listen as well.Never talk with food in your mouth, finish chewing and swallow before you say anying.
