商務(wù)談判英語(yǔ)重要性
商務(wù)英語(yǔ)是英語(yǔ)的一種社會(huì)功能變體,是專(zhuān)門(mén)用途英語(yǔ)中的一個(gè)分支,是英語(yǔ)在商務(wù)場(chǎng)合中的應(yīng)用。它涉及技術(shù)引進(jìn)、對(duì)外貿(mào)易、招商引資、對(duì)外勞務(wù)承包與合同、國(guó)際合同、國(guó)際金融、涉外保險(xiǎn)、國(guó)際旅游、海外投資、國(guó)際運(yùn)輸?shù)鹊龋藗儚氖逻@些活動(dòng)所使用的英語(yǔ)統(tǒng)稱(chēng)為商務(wù)英語(yǔ)。
商務(wù)英語(yǔ)源于普通英語(yǔ),并以此為基礎(chǔ),完全具有普通英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言學(xué)特征,但同時(shí)它又是商務(wù)知識(shí)和普通英語(yǔ)的綜合體,因而具有其內(nèi)在的獨(dú)特性,主要集中以下幾個(gè)方面:
1.商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言形式、詞匯、以及內(nèi)容等方面與專(zhuān)業(yè)知識(shí)密切相關(guān),它承載著商務(wù)理論和商務(wù)實(shí)踐等方面的信息。
2.商務(wù)英語(yǔ)用詞明白易懂、正式規(guī)范、簡(jiǎn)短達(dá)意、語(yǔ)言平實(shí)。用詞方面多使用常用詞,以保證所用詞語(yǔ)具有國(guó)際通用性,保證能為普通大眾所理解,但又不能過(guò)于口語(yǔ)化,即商務(wù)英語(yǔ)所使用的語(yǔ)言不能過(guò)于非正式。有些商務(wù)文書(shū)(如合同)因?yàn)榫哂幸?guī)范、約束力等公文性質(zhì),因此會(huì)使用一些很正式的詞語(yǔ),如使用prior to 或者 previous to 而不使用before;使用supplement 而不使用 add to 等。但在介詞方面,商務(wù)英語(yǔ)往往使用以繁復(fù)的介詞短語(yǔ)來(lái)代替簡(jiǎn)單的介詞和連詞,如:用 in the nature of 代替 like;
3.商務(wù)英語(yǔ)句子結(jié)構(gòu)比較復(fù)雜,句式規(guī)范,文體正式,尤其在招標(biāo)文件和投資文件經(jīng)及合同中更是如此。
4.商務(wù)英語(yǔ)在陳述事物時(shí)往往具體、明確,絕不含糊其詞。如商務(wù)英語(yǔ)不就“We wish to confirm our telex dispatched yesterday”,而要說(shuō)“We confirm our telex of July 2nd,2000.”因?yàn)榍罢呋\統(tǒng)含糊,后者就清晰明了;
5.在國(guó)際商務(wù)英語(yǔ)應(yīng)用文特別是國(guó)際商務(wù)信函中,禮貌是其中非常重要的語(yǔ)言特點(diǎn)。
商務(wù)談判英語(yǔ)對(duì)話
Dialogue 1:
A: So, thank you for coming, everyone. It's really a pleasure to see you all here. First of all, may i suggest you take a look at the agenda i sent you? Would you like to make any comment on that?
B: Yes, i wonder if we can begin with shipment question first. We really need to come to an agreement on that before anything else.
A: That's true, but it's also a very difficult issue. That's the reason why i put it last. I thought it might be a good idea for us to start with the points we have in common. We'll move on to the shipment issue after that.
B: All right. That sounds reasonable.
A: Well, before we go any future, I would like to say strongly how i feel that it's in both our interest to reach an agreement today.

Now, i think Richard would like to say a few words about that.
