商务英语应用中常见的用词翻译错误实例解析
2007-11-30来源:
笔者在商务英语教学中发现,外贸英语中有一些使用十分频繁的词汇很容易被误译，原因是商务英语中相同的单词在不同情况下有不同的含义。现将这些单词的不同用法和含义试加比较说明。
例一：floating
that the world saw a return to exchange rate system. Central banks were no longerrequired support their own currencies.
Floating policy is of greatimportance for export trade;it is, in fact, a convenient methodof insuring goods where a numberof similar export transactions are intended, e.g. where the insured has to supply an overseasimporterunder an exclusive sales agreement or maintains sales subsidiary companies abroad.
译文：在这种情况下，世界各国又恢复浮动汇率就不足为奇了。各国中央银行也就无须维持本币
的汇价了。
统保单对出口贸易至关重要。它实际上是货物保险中的一种便利的办法，特别适合于分不同的时间出口的一批类似货物，如，当被保险方根据独家代理协书向国外的进口方供货，或在国外委任了销售代表，设立分支机构时用之。
注解：floating 在上述两个句中的意思完全不一样，floating exchange rate 意为“浮动汇率”，即可自由浮动，完全受市场力量决定的汇率制度。而 floating policy 则指用以承保多批次货运的一种持续性长期保险凭证，常译为“统保单”。
例二：confirm
