尽管我们可以把一些词汇叫做“商务英语词汇”,但大多数的商务英语只是在商务背景下使用的英语,其实它并不是什么特别的语言。每个行业(在一定程度上,每个公司甚至每个部门)都使用一些“行话”,这本书里不可能包括所有这些专门术语。
在书中我们提供了大量的商务背景和商务情景,您可以用此来练习和提高英语沟通技能,使您在商务活动中更自信、更流利,也更准确。
第一到第四单元介绍基本的商务英语技巧,这些技巧在商务活动中是必备的。在以后的单元中,这些技巧将进一步得以强化和扩展。在商务活动中有使用英语经验的学生,可以比那些没有实践经验的学生更快地浏览这部分内容。第五到第十四单元是一些综合活动,它们假定您已熟悉了前四个单元介绍并练习过的基本技巧。每一个单元覆盖了不同的商务情景,并介绍了内容广泛的商务技巧。第十五单元复习了前面这些单元介绍和练习的许多技巧,它采用了模拟的方式。
