最完整的外貿英文書信工具書
本書自從出版以來,歷時近30年,經過許多次重印;被中國大陸很多大專院校採用為外經貿專業的教材,頗受歡迎。
在本版當中,在貿易內容上增添了非實物貿易的信函內容,介紹了除信函外的幾種當今流行的寫作形式並豐富了課後練習,補充了“促銷信”、“合資企業信”、“租賃貿易信”、“商務合約”、“商務備忘錄”、“電子郵件”、“商務傳真”等信函,使此書的涵蓋面更廣,代表性更強,形式上更加與時俱進。
必須說明的一點是,“外貿英文書信”課是一門寫作課程,僅僅理解學習課文還很不夠,還應該多看類似的實例,做大量的練習,加深並鞏固對課文的理解,並在此基礎上舉一反三、融會貫通,分析外貿語言的特點,比較中英語言翻譯上的異同,提綱挈領地掌握不同性質信函的寫作方法,只有這樣才能做到深入、全面、靈活地撰寫書信,在處理各種外貿情景的書信時得心應手、遊刃有餘。為了達到此一目的,在書中特別加上了六個單元的系列講解(Review and Highlight),並在每個單元後面配有形式各樣的練習,以便學習者進一步領會和揣摩。此外,為了方便讀者學習和自我檢測學習效果,對課文譯文與練習答案都一一做了補充和修改,提供大家作為參考。
