We decided to throw out our chip pan which we had used until then to make chips every day for dinner. We replaced our chips with boiled potatoes. We also started using semiskimmed milk instead of whole milk in our cups of tea and bowls of cornflakes. At first I felt like I was eating my cornflakes in water and my potatoes had no taste at all. But after a while I started to prefer healthier food because I felt stronger and I didn’t get sick so often.Japanese people are reputed to be the healthiest in the world because of the food they eat. The healthiest Japanese people eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or wat er when they’re thirsty, and snack on dried fish, fruit or gingko nuts. The traditional Japanese diet is famous for helping you to live a longer and healthier life.So we have proof that you become what you eat. Can you tell what your friends eat just by looking at them? When you know the effects of different types of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.Food has an impact on our physical and emotional health. Have you ever heard any of the following advice?Lettuce or milk can make you sleepy.To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts or dried fish.To keep your teeth clean you should eat apples often.Garlic helps you not to catch a cold.Everyone has their own advice to give, which they have read about or have been told by older relatives. Some of these pieces of advice seem to contradict each other.Eating chocolate makes you fat and gives you spots.Chocolate contains the essential minerals iron and magnesium.What we need to figure out is what type of chocolate to eat to get the benefits and how much of it to eat. We can do this by reading the list of ingredients on the chocolate bar wrapper. Exactly how much real chocolate is in there? And how much of that do we need to eat to get the benefits of the minerals it contains?Future restaurants might be named after the physical or emotional state they hope to create. Their menus will list the benefits of each dish and drink. Some restaurants have already started this concept, and list the nutritional content of their dishes on the menus.Part TwoText IComprehension CheckI. Reading for general ideas1. Fill in the blanks to complete the outline of the text.KeyThesis statement: The value of food is closely associated with the circumstances, the sentiment of the people and their perception of the world around them, which in turn has impact on their faith, ritual, language, philosophy and so on.Heading for Paragraph 1: Identity derived from eating habitsHeading for Paragraph 2: Food as symbols in rituals and religionHeading for Paragraph 3: The symbolic value vs. nutritious valueHeading for Paragraph 4: Milk and honey in cultural circumstancesHeading for Paragraph 5: Figurative meaning of food vocabularyHeading for Paragraph 6: Antagonism and balance in food as in the worldHeading for Paragraph 7: Duality of yin and yang in Chinese cultureHeading for Paragraph 8: The hierarchy of foodHeading for Paragraph 9: Food as indicators of social relationship2. Read the text through quickly and answer the following questions.Suggested answer1)The author uses examples to show that food metaphor existed long time ago and someconcepts are shared by different cultures.2)The evidences come from a wide range of sources: customs, language, and religious writingssuch as the Bible.3)The aim of the text is to show that the use of metaphor in food is very common throughout theworld.4)The metaphors reflect the lifestyles, beliefs, and philosophy of the people who use them. Theyalso show how they are perceived by others.5)Most paragraphs start with a generalization, serving as introduction of the topic or topicsentence, after which an example is given to support the statement.II. Reading for specific informationKey1. F2. F3. T4. F5. TIII. Reading and making interpretationsSuggested answer1.The tribes use the diet differences to tease each other, for example, the rotted meat. One tribenot only eats it, but also considers it special and thus appropriate for their rituals.2.When a food is endowed with a certain symbolic meaning, it enjoys a higher status thanbefore while the nutrition it contains is of less significance.3.Food, when connected with the culture it exists in, functions more than a source ofnourishment. This can be illustrated by the widespread beli ef of “milk tie,” a life-long social connection not only between the nurse and the children who have been nursed, but also among the biologically unconnected children who have been nursed by the same woman.4.North Americans and Europeans also follow the yin-yang approach to food and they judge thevalue of food not by their nutrition; the food served in an elaborate dinner values more than that in leftovers.5.When such values are taken into consideration, an invitation to a meal and one to a snack havesubtle difference in social implications.Part ThreeText IIComprehension CheckI. Reading for specific informationKey1.While organic foods do you no harm, they may not turn out to be as beneficial as you think.2.To date most studies have either shown no difference between organic and conventionalproduce or found very small pluses in the organic column, such as slightly higher levels of vitamin C or other antioxidants.3.The research done by Alyson Mitchell and her team from UC Davis found that tomatoesgrown in organic fields yielded significantly higher amounts of quercetin and kaempferol (an average of 79% and 97%, respectively) than their conventional counterparts. They also found that the greater the number of seasons tomatoes are grown in organic fields, the higher the soil quality becomes and the higher the level of the flavonoids climbs.4.Firstly, the study was conducted in a highly controlled setting, so it’s not clear we’d get thesame results in the real world of organic farming, where conditions vary. Secondly, Mitchell points out that tomatoes are what is known as a botanical fruit, something that isn’t necessarily comparable to leafy greens.5.First, if you’re going to eat the peel of a fruit or vegetable, consider buying organic. Second,don’t buy organic produce shipped from overseas. Finally, don’t be seduced by organic produce included in processed foods like frozen meals and spaghetti sauce.II. Reading and making interpretationsSuggested answer1.As demand for pesticide- and chemical-free foods has grown, the product that used to betargeting at a small group of consumers now finds itself in common markets.2.Meanwhile, scientists are not able to prove modern pesticides have a definite, long-termnegative effect on our bodies. This means that while organic foods are not harmful, they may not eventually appear as beneficial as you think.3.(Following the negative sense of the previous sentence) Not to mention the idea that organicfoods are full of vitamins that modern farming techniques have totally destroyed. These ideas all lack sufficient proof and are equally dubious.4.Although these findings are awesome, they themselves may not be impactful enough topersuade people to spend more money or drive a few miles farther to buy organic food.5.You should also pay attention to the origin of the food, because if it is shipped from overseas,some nutrition may have lost after the long journey, e.g. vitamin C is destructible and is lost over time. In that case, you may not enjoy much benefit from the organic food; instead you may benefit more from the local conventional food.Part FourText IIISuggested translation of some popular Chinese dishes:宫保鸡丁Kung Pao Chicken鱼香肉丝Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce夫妻肺片Pork Lungs in Chili Sauce蜜汁叉烧Honey-Stewed BBQ Pork脆皮春卷Crispy Spring Rolls麻婆豆腐Ma Po Tofu蚝油生菜Sautéed Lettuce with Oyster Sauce地三鲜Sautéed Potato with Green Pepper and Eggplant八宝饭Eight Delicacies Rice卤肉饭Steamed Rice with Red-Cooked PorkQuestions for group discussionSuggested answer1.Generally British food does not enjoy a good reputation, and the French often make fun ofBritish cuisine. A typical British way of cooking is stewing any food into something grey and unappealing. As long as it is accompanied with a few potatoes on top, it is fine for them. The national dish is fish and chips.2.It began with a typical English breakfast in a bed & breakfast near Bath. Most of it wasacceptable to the author, such as poached or scrambled eggs, lean bacon, fried mushrooms, boiled cauliflower, two sausages and slightly grilled tomato slices with black pepper. But the black pudding tasted terrible.3.She thought that they should have used some Chinese cooking wine. British cooking is dull,but they have passion for potatoes. She uses the word s like “rustic” and “plain.” some foods they would love and hate.Part FiveLanguage FocusI.

Heading for Part I(Paragraphs1to2):Introduction of the topic:the commentary on Hillary’s wardrobe.Heading for Part II(Paragraphs3to6):Different views towards men and women’s dressing,and power dressing.Heading for Part III(Paragraphs7to8):Conclusion:the root cause of dress prejudice against women.2.Read the text through quickly and answer the following questions.1)The author uses cause-and-effect method focusing on the causal analysis of causes or reasons.2)The author uses the method of contrast to present different views towards men and women toexplain the political fashion.3)The author is opposed to the commentary that Hillary wears more power suits and is lessfeminine.4)The author wants to illustrate popular criticisms against Hillary’s wardrobe.5)If a female politician doesn’t know how to dress like a lady,she’s lampooned,shamed,andher ideas are ignored.However,if she wears“distracting clothing”or spends too much money,she’s seen as silly.II.Reading for specific informationKey1.F2.F3.T4.F5.TIII.Reading and making interpretationsSuggested answer1.People usually don’t talk about dress fashion of male politicians although they outnumbertheir female counterparts,except once when Obama showed up in light yellowish-brown in a news conference.2.People seldom focus their attention on male politicians’dressing since they usually wear theformal suit,symbolizing power and advantage in politics,which help their thoughts receive more attention and thus be likely to be more acceptable.However,the first ladies’trivial matters such as dressing will draw much attention because they don’t need to deal with important issues like their husbands.3.Although the first ladies are expected to be in fashion clothes,they had better not go shoppingby themselves,which is believed improper for their status.4.However,male politicians only need to wear the suit in order to display the power given bythe society.5.Different criteria for evaluating male and female politicians’dress represent a type of genderdiscrimination against women,which is firmly established in our society.Part ThreeText IIComprehension CheckI.Reading for specific informationKey1.It is difficult to specify clear business casual standard to enforce professionalism withouthurting productivity.2.In part business casual causes confusing attire standard.Also the situation gets out of controlwhen business casual is allowed and the quality of work is not as good as expected.3.They trust employees to use good judgment,inspire them to think more openly,andencourage camaraderie.4.The author presents different attitudes towards business casual by contrasting some strict ruleswith some more lenient ones.5.Dress policies may provoke racial and gender discrimination.6.The dress style may lead to stereotypes.Impression management is important in companies. II.Reading and making interpretationsKey1.When it is hotter and hotter in the summer,employees’attire is more and more casual.Employers are striving to set a standard of dress which can ensure that employees work athigh efficiency,and that they display professional qualities.2.It is more likely that the younger employees,mostly millennials,violate the attire rules,whichwould offend the older traditionalists who grew up during WW II.The latter always wear formal attire with ties and skirts in companies.3.Because different companies have different dress codes,a considerable amount ofinappropriateness and embarrassment in dressing style will occur in social situations.4.Job interviewees will be more and more perplexed by the uncertainty about the dress code.They find that they seem to be more serious and boring if they attend an interview in a more casual workplace,wearing the traditional suit.Part FourText IIIQuestions for group discussionSuggested answer1.Culture and fashion have a strong connection and both keep influencing each other.Theauthor uses some examples in Chinese history to explain it.For example,during the Song and Ming dynasties because of the intensity of the feudal ideology,the patterns of dress and adornment gradually became conservative whereas by influence from western cultures,the designs were more fitting and practical from late Ming.2.One of the Chinese dresses getting attention from the fashion community is the cheongsam.3.More information can be found below from People’s Daily Online.How Should Chinese Culture“Go Out”?Chinese culture’s“going out”has become an important national cultural strategy.However, according to Annual Report of China’s Foreign Trade in Culture2012,export of Chinese cultural products only accounts for30percent of the import of cultural products.How should Chinese culture go out?NPC deputies and CPPCC members gave their answers.What is the core competitiveness of Chinese cultural products?Chen Zhilin,a deputy to the National People’s Congress,President of Sichuan Dramatists Association,talked about his experience:“Two years ago,I led my art troupe to visit Europe.We had more than70stages in four months.Chinese culture is welcomed and loved by local people not by chance.It is the uniqueness and connotation of Chinese culture that wins respect from foreigners.Performance that embodies our values and cultural system is of top priority.”Prof.Liu Yuening,a member of the CPPCC,vice-chairman of Overseas Returned Scholars Association,and a noted Dulcimer player with Central Conservatory of Music,shared his ideas as to what cultural products China needs.First of all,they ought to show the spirit of the Chinese people and connotation of Chinese culture vividly.Secondly,the products need to conform to human values and universal aesthetic standards.It would be better if the products cater for foreign viewers’habit and taste.“We have been in the new era when the need for systematic research of our own culture is pressing,”said NPC deputy Ling Jiefang,“In addition,we would borrow ideas from the West,which helps promote our own culture.”Dilemma:tradition and modernityMany Chinese and foreign polls have shown that elements of traditional Chinese culture,for example Confucius,Kung Fu and porcelain are regarded as symbols of Chinese culture for quite a long time.How to let the world know more about Chinese culture in modern times has become a dilemma of the current Chinese culture’s going out.Liu Yuening said:“The understanding and exchange of any form of culture is not done overnight.A long-term mechanism for disseminating Chinese culture is needed,at the same time innovation with a modern perspective is encouraged as well.Chinese culture is a treasure rather than a burden to Chinese people in modern times.”The TV drama Legend of Zhenhuan’s landing on the U.S.sparked heated debate.“The exploration needs a period of time,during which all kinds of culture products can express freely,”said Ling Jiefang,“No cultural brand is established yet for Chinese culture’s going out.An overall and systematic research is urgently needed.”People-to-people exchange boostsInnovation is mentioned by almost every NPC deputy and CPPCC member when talking about Chinese culture’s going out.Liu Yuening has just finished her Chinese Spring Festival Concert held in Switzerland.She said,“The concert was a commercial operation that won positive good response.Tickets were sold to local people who are interested in Chinese music.”She appeals to set up a fund aiming to support those musicians going out and people-to-people cultural exchanges.Chen Zhilin believes that with the help of local directors,local scene designers and local service departments,traditional Chinese stories and traditional opera would be better understood by local people.The way of blending the West and East helps improve the effect of Chinese culture’s going out.(source:/pc/12_1/2013—03/13/content_1782175.htm)Part FiveLanguage FocusI.Word familyNoun Verb Adjective Adverb identity/identification identify identifiable/ access/accessibility access

论商务英语语言学的理论体系作为我国英语语言教育教学体系中的重要组成部分,商务英语在新的时代背景之下备受关注,这一专业英语教学能够实现人才培养策略与时代发展需求之间的紧密对接,保障所培养出来的人才能够更好地满足时代发展的需求。
但是与其他的专业学科相比,商务英语所涉及的内容比较复杂,其中语言学最为关键。
本文站在宏观的角度着眼于商务英语的教育教学现状,对语言学的理论体系进行进一步的探讨,以期为丰富商务英语教学模式、提升这一专业教学的质量及水平提供一定的借鉴。
标签:商务英语;语言学;理论体系一、商务英语语言学理论体系在对商务英语语言学进行分析和研究时,首先需要了解这一专门用途语言学的具体内涵,任何语言学理论体系的构建都必须要以专业语言的形式分析为依据,站在语言学的角度,着眼于商务英语的双重性特征来进行有效的表现。
从微观的角度上来看,商务英语的形式比较复杂,外部特征主要以商務语境为依据,专业人士需要在具体的商务语境之中实现双向交流以及互动,商务英语的应用则显得非常关键。
内部特征则侧重于商务专业领域在内容上的分析及研究,只能够以商务专业领域的具体分析为依据,通过专业话语的使用来实现有效交流。
因此学术界在对商务英语进行分析时明确提出,这种语言形式主要以具体的商务语境为依据,属于一种特殊的语言种类,其中英语语言规律以及特征的分析是基础,只有结合这两点来实现语言学理论体系的有效构建,才可以呈现这种语言本身的内部体系以及内部特征。
在构建商务英语语言学理论体系之前,参与工作者需要注重语言词汇在广度和深度上的分析,了解句法的具体结构以及语体特征,结合专业知识与认知规律来构建完善的理论研究框架以及体系,充分展现语言学的研究作用及优势,促进跨文化商务交流活动的顺利开展。
二、商务英语语言学的理论体系结合上文的相关论述可以发现,商务英语语言学的理论体系具有明显的系统性以及一致性,与其他的语言形式相比,商务英语语言学必须要以具体的商务语境为依据,了解英语语言学的核心内涵以及外在表现,只有这样才能够保障整个理论体系的完整性以及多元化。
