商务英语常用单词与写作带翻译商务英语常用单词与写作范文带翻译在真实的商务贸易中，常用的一些英语术语非常多，下面店铺带来关于商务英语常用单词与写作范文，供大家参考学习。

1、商業書信寫法(BUSINESS LETTER WRITING)1)、原則(Rules)--------Attention; interest;Desire;Action;2)、6C’s--------Clearness;correctness;conciseness;consideration;character;3)、Element(構成元素)------letterhead(company name;address，conact Number;);reference number;date;inside Address;salutation;2、報價(Quotation)報價是一種以特定條款提供產品的承諾。

詢價者如覺得價格合理，便可確認接受訂貨，因此報價者(OFFEROR)必須小心處理報價條款，如因錯報價格而無法供貨，則會對商譽有損。

報價通常是由買方提供予買方，即賣方報價(SELLING OFFER)，但亦有由買方提出價格，由賣方決定是否接受，稱為習方報價(BUYING OFFER)或出價(BID)。

一般報價可分實盤(FIRM OFFER/OFFER WITH ENGAGEMENT)及虛盤(No-firm /offer without engaement).實盤報價會詳細列明數量、交易條款及報價有效期，只要受盤人(OFFERENCE)在有效期內確認，便可達成交易。

如貨品價格經常浮動，或貨品供應不穩定，報價者可指明價屬虛盤，或加上保留條件，如以最后確認為准、以貨物尚未售出為准或報價可隨時變更等。

報價亦可以報價單(PRICE LIST)形式發出，此種報價并無特定對象，只作回復一般詢價時使用，并于報價單上說明以最后確認為准。

至于投標是一種要求報價的方法，買方會列明要求及投標方法，由市場上的公司自稈竟投，再從中選取可提供最有利條件的公司。
