2008-12-05来源:和谐英语
看商业信函的时候有没有疑惑过?比如confirm明明是"确认"嘛,什么时候成了"保兑"了?英语中的一词多义常常让人一头雾水,商务英语中更是如此。这次就给大家来辨析几个常用的商务英语词汇,保证你再看商业信函的时候轻松一点哦!
1. confirm
例一:
We'd like to inform you that our counter sample will be sent to you by DHL by the end of this week. Please confirm it ASAP so that we can start mass production.
很高兴通知您,我们的回样将于本周末用特快专递给您。
请尽快确认,以便我们开始大批生产。
例二:
Payment will be made by a 100% confirmed, irrevocable Letter of Credit, available by sight draft。
付款方式为 100% 即期,保兑,不可撤消信用证。
注解:在第一个句子中,confirm 的意思是"确认"。在第二个句子中,confirmed L/C 应翻译为"保兑信用证",即指一家银行所开的由另一家银行保证兑付的一种银行信用证。
2. negotiable
例一:
It's obvious that the products are below average quality.
很明显,这批产品的品质是中下水平。
注解:在第一个句子中,particular average 意思是"单独海损",是指在保险业中由于海上事故所导致的部分损失。第二个句子中average是指"平均的"。
5. tender
例一:
Under the CIF, it is the seller's obligation to tender the relative documents to the buyer to enable him to deliver the goods.
在 CIF 价格术语项下的责任是向买方递交有关单证,使其能在货物到达后提取货物。
例二:
He became as happy as if his tender for building a mansion had been accepted.
他欣喜若狂,好象他承办大厦筑的投标被接受了。
注解: 商务英语中的重要条款用词非常正规,第一句话中,tender 是用作动词,相当于 give。而在第二句中,tender 是用作名词,意思是"投标"。
