商务英语学习心得 1.商务英语的特点 与普通英语不同，商务英语强调的是商务沟通能力，其追求的目标是用最准确、最清晰的商务语言来与同事、老板以及客户进行最有效的沟通和交流。另外商务英语还涉及了很多西方的先进管理思想和工作方式，包括如何与外国员工合作以及他们之间的交流方式等等。基于此处，商务英语又包含了很多西方人的工作理念。 商务英语是英语的一种社会功能变体，是专门用途英语中的一个分支，是英语在商务场合中的应用。它涉及技术引进、对外贸易、招商引资、对外劳务承包与合同、国际合同、国际金融、涉外保险、国际旅游、海外投资、国际运输等等，人们从事这些活动所使用的英语统称为商务英语。商务英语源于普通英语，并以此为基础，完全具有普通英语的语言学特征，但同时它又是商务知识和普通英语的综合体，因而具有其内在的独特性。 2.商务英语的学习方法 2.1掌握商务英语语汇句型，熟悉商务英语篇章 学习商务英语首先要从英语语言基础入手，由于商务英语涉及到英语的听、说、读、写、译，商务英语学生必须在这些方面有一定的基础。提高听、说、读、写、译水平最根本的办法就是要掌握尽可能多的商务英语词汇、短语、句型和商务英语习惯表达法。商务英语学生都有一定的英语基础，但对有关商务词汇、短语、句型掌握得不多，对商务英语语篇不熟悉，因此，应该先从商务英语词汇等方面开始。 商务英语有别于普通英语。商务英语是在买卖商品或服务的商务活动中使用的各种正式与非正式文件，或者说，商务英语主要是商务应用文英语，说明论证性文章占绝大多数，如：商务信函、备忘录、商务报告、广告、合同协议等。因此，商务英语一般采用演绎或归纳等论证方法或因果、对比比较、过程分析、说服、陈列等说明方法来组织构建文章的篇章。 2.2学习培养商务英语的听说读写译能力 在学习掌握了英语基础知识和基本技能的基础上，我们必须学习掌握商务英语的听说读写译能力。这是我们毕业后就业谋职的本领。要学习掌握商务英语的听说读写译能力，我们应熟悉各种商务英语题材和体裁的口语书面文字，就商务英语这种专门用途英语进行大量的听说读写译的实践训练活动。通过商务英语的学习，我们必须掌握商务英语交流谈判的能力，熟悉并掌握商务英语应用文的写作技能和书面交流、谈判、交易的能力，学习并掌握商务英语口笔译能力。 2.3熟悉世界经济贸易组织

Her example of never giving up gives him courage for the rest of his life. 从失败的一刻中，母亲和儿子收获了他们从成功中不曾收获到的。母亲永不放弃的精神给他此后的人生以很大的勇气。 The Day Mother CriedGerald Moore Coming home from school that dark winter's day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation. I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine tucked under my arm, and the house to myself. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn't be home from her new job for an hour. I bounded up the steps, burst into the living room and flipped on a light. 妈哭的那天 在很久以前一个昏暗的冬天，我放学回家，心中充满了期待。我腋下夹着一期新的我最爱看的体育杂志，再者，家里没有别人打扰我。爸爸在上班，妹妹不在家。妈妈刚找到新工作，还得过一个小时才下班。我跳上台阶，冲进起居室，啪嗒一声打开电灯。 I was shocked into stillness by what I saw.Mother, pulled into a tight ball with her face in her hands, sat at the far end of the couch.She was crying. I had never seen her cry. 我被眼前的景象惊呆了。妈妈双手捂着脸，身子紧缩成一团，坐在长沙发的那一端哭泣着。我看见妈妈哭这还是第一次。 I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. "Mother?" I said. "What's happened?" 我小心翼翼地向她走去，轻轻拍她的肩膀。“妈妈，”我说，“怎么啦?” She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. "It's nothing, really. Nothing important. Just that I'm going to lose this new job. I can't type fast enough." 妈妈深深吸了一口气，强作微笑。“没什么，真的。没有什么要紧的事。只是我这份新工作要丢了。我字打得不够快。” "But you've only been there three days," I said. "You'll catch on." I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me. “可你上班才三天，”我说。“你会熟练起来的。”我这是在重复她讲过上百次的一句话，每当我学习或做一件与自己关系重大的事情而遇到困难时，她总是这样跟我说的。 "No," she said sadly. "I always said I could do anything I set my mind to, and I still think I can in most things. But I can't do this." “不成，”妈妈黯然神伤地说。“过去我总是讲，只要我下决心，什么事都能干成。现在我仍然认为大多数的事我都能做。但打字这件事我干不了。” I felt helpless and out of place. At age 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. Some years before, when we sold our ranch and moved to town, Mother had decided to open a day nursery. She had had no training, but that didn't stand in her way. She sent away for correspondence courses in child care, did the lessons and in six months formally qualified herself for the task. It wasn't long before she had a full enrollment and a waiting list. I accepted all this as a perfectly normal instance of Mother's ability. 我感到无能为力，而且十分尴尬。我虽然十六岁了，但仍然以为妈妈什么都能干。几年前，当我们卖掉农场，搬到城里住的时候，妈妈决定开办日托所。她过去没有受过这方面的训练，但这并不能阻碍她。她写信要求参加幼托函授课程，学习了六个月就正式获得从事这项工作的资格。不久她的日托所招生额满，而且还有不少小孩登记等着入托呢。我觉得凭妈妈的能力，办成这一切是理所当然的。 But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college. In two years I would be ready for college. In three more my sister would want to go. Time was
