新世纪商务英语综合教程第二册课文译文 第一单元语言的事务和商务的语言 课文一 以其它手段建立的世界帝国 汪滢陈俐丽译 它无处不在。它是约3.8亿人的母语，还是约占此人数三分之二人的第二语言。全世界有10亿人在学习它，约占世界人口三分之一的人或多或少会接触到它。预计到2050年，全世界半数人会近乎精通它。它是全球化时代的语言——国际商务、政治和外交等活动使用它，也是计算机和互联网的通用语言。你能在科特迪瓦的海报上看到它，能在东京的流行歌曲中听到它，还能在金边的官方文件中读到它。《德国之声》电台用它播放节目，法国商学院用它授课，玻利维亚的内阁会议用它作为交流媒介。的确，这种在14世纪的英格兰只有“下等人”才说的语言取得了长足的发展进步，如今已经成为世界的语言。 为什么会这样？原因不在于英语好学。诚然，英语单词词性简单，但是动词变化不规律，语法怪异，拼写和发音之间的对应简直是噩梦。由于传播十分广泛，英语衍生出众多的版本，有些独特的表达连英语为“母语”的人们也难以相互理解。 英语的来源甚广，包括罗曼语、日耳曼语、挪威语、凯尔特语等等，因此它必定会杂乱无章，但正是这种灵活性在使它变得庞杂的同时，也变得更加强大。提到新词，英语几乎毫不阻拦地接纳。每年出版商都会推出包含大量新词的新字典。例如，过往十年里不仅出现了很多网络用语、计算机用语、手机用语（如“浏览器”、“下载”、“发短信”等），还诞生了大量青少年俚语（如“赞”、“正”、“残”、“酷”、“杯具”）。虽然一些守旧者强烈反对，但这些都被英语欣然接纳。 英语母语者也并非一直对自己语言的这种放任态度毫不在意。18世纪便有三位作家——约瑟夫·爱迪生（《旁观者周刊》的创立者）、丹尼尔·笛福（《鲁滨逊漂流记》的作者）以及约翰森·斯威夫特（《格列佛游记》的作者）希望建立一个委员会来规范英语。 所幸，自由贸易的原则占了上风。一种语言的成败并不取决于它的内在品质，“而全在于说这种语言的人拥有多大权力。” 英语随时代发展，到19世纪它已蔓延到日不落帝国的各个角落，自那以后它开始成为全球的语言。 英语的发展不仅见于其在英国殖民地的广泛应用，还体现在它在遥远国度的用途。例如，1940年，德国和日本协商建立反对英美的同盟，这两国的外交大臣交流时使用的便是英语。然而，不论英语如何地海纳百川，它日后的成功要归功于美国这个英语国家作为世界巨头的崛起，这其中也存在导致摩擦的重大原因。 英语成为全球通用的语言，其好处在于便利各国人民相互交流、进行商务往来。然而，语言不仅是国与国之间对话交流的媒介，还是文化和身份的宝库。在很多国家，英语日益显现出压倒性势头，将要破坏或摧毁当地的文化，有时甚至在英国也有如此令人悲叹的情景，目前横扫世界的语言叫做英语，但承载它的确是美国文化。 英国人对此倒没什么怨言。虽然有一些人对这些词语的消亡感到遗憾，如“bullet-proof waistcoat”演变成“bullet-proof vest”（均为“防弹背心”的意思）、每句话开头都加“hopefully （希望如此）”，完成时态彻底消亡，以及“presently”的意思从“尽快”变成了“目前”，

新世纪商务英语综合教程第一册课文译文 第一单元万维网 课文一 有互联网必有路 增加社会交流之商业指导 丹奈斯·J. 德沃 张筱霖译 凯瑟琳·吉诺伊是波士顿 Swift Media 网络社区的合作创始人之一，她的饮食、起居、呼吸都浸泡在网络2.0中。不仅她最新的商业公司依靠网络2.0召集会议，几乎她所有的新办公司都依靠各种网络工具来运行。她有五位全职雇员，如今她已经非常熟练老到地使用她的博客、wiki、合作工具以及其他林林种种免费或低费用网络服务。 “网络2.0的吸引力在于，它能让小企业主找到通往市场的途径，而过去小企业主几乎没有门径。”凯瑟琳·吉诺伊对《电子商务时报》的记者如是说。 目前，她的网络应用“组合”包括如下内容： ●一个wiki，用来协调位于波士顿、衣达荷和乌克兰的程序员工作； ●Basecamp，一个基于网络的项目管理工具（大约每月40美元） ●Highrise，用来追踪与他人的联系与活动（与Salesforce.com的小型网络版类似） ●一组 Google(Nastag:GOOG)工具（例如, Google Docs 工作表，用于发博文的Google Notebook，Google AdWords 关键词搜索） 有时她甚至通过Facebook和LinkedIn 与客户作交流，她也是Twitter微博和del.icio.us等社交网络的粉丝。 关于宠物狗的博客 吉诺伊曾用网络2.0帮助过一位从事宠物狗养殖的朋友，这位朋友的生意渐渐下滑，而其竞争者熟知技术门道，他们的品牌则广为传播。吉诺伊只不过帮朋友建了个博客，并在Google AdWords上登记了合适的关键词，朋友的生意马上兴旺起来。 吉诺伊说，她的策略并非是一时兴起、简简单单建个博客。“任何小企业主都可以把博客用作网上营销工具，但是，要与Google AdWords结合起来才能推动访客流量的增加。许多职场专业人士都把Google AdWords与在线服务管理结合起来，于是利润猛增。” 策划细节是值得的。“建博客轻而易举，但是创造一个足以让你的企业施展影响的环境，就不那么容易。”比尔·瑞利，微软的中小企业营销处长也这样认为。“你的种种努力须源自你的核心商业需要，而且要与细化、具体的策略紧紧保持一致。” 大池塘里的小鱼 瑞利认为，在主动接近潜在顾客方面，网络2.0业已把小企业放在了一个有利的竞争位置。她对电子商务报的记者说，“这些小企业主较早应用网络工具，已经把握了方向盘。这是因为网络2.0令他们的营销业务花费不多，却达到了所需规模，而这在网络2.0出现前根本不可能。

Unit1 1. Truly, the tongue spoken back in the 1300s only by the "low people" of England has come a long way. Paraphrase: Indeed, the language spoken as early as 1300s by the native people in England has developed for a long time 2. But however accommodating English might be the real reason for the latter day triumph of English is the triumph of the English-speaking United States as a world power. Paraphrase:Adaptable, as English might be, the English owes its success to the victory of the English-speaking United States as a world power. 3. As the 20th century drew on, however, and English continued to encroach, French was driven on to the defensive. Paraphrase:As the 20th century was approaching, and English kept on expanding beyond limits, French was put in a cornered position, having to fight for protection. 4.

People in India would think the English language reminds them of the period of colonialism, which should be wiped out. 5. But for many peoples the triumph of English is the defeat, if not outright destruction, of their own language. Paraphrase:But for many peoples, the success or the wide spread of English means the defeat, perhaps even a complete extinction, of their own language. 6. Thus the triumph of English not only destroys the tongues of others; it also isolates native English-speakers from the literature, history and ideas of other peoples. Paraphrase:Therefore, the success of English not only defeats other languages, but separates native English speakers from the literature, history and ideas of other ethnic groups.

Unit 9 职场 Background Knowledge I. Career Career is a term defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an individual’s ―course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)‖. As of 2006, the word usually only pertains to one’s remunerative work (and sometimes also formal education). A career is traditionally seen as a course of successive situations that make up a person's worklife. One can have a sporting career or a musical career without being a professional athlete or musician, but most frequently "career" in the 20th century referenced the series of jobs or positions by which one earned one's money. It tended to look only at the past. As the idea of personal choice and self direction picks up in the 21st century, aided by the power of the Internet and the increased acceptance of people having multiple kinds of work, the idea of a career is shifting from a closed set of achievements, like a chronological résumé of past jobs, to a defined set of pursuits looking forward. In its broadest sense, career refers to an individual’s work and life roles over their lifespan. In the relatively static societies before modernism, many workers would often inherit or take up a single lifelong position (a place or role) in the workforce, and the concept of an unfolding career had little or no meaning. With the spread during the Enlightenment of the idea of progress and of the habits of individualist self-betterment, careers became possible, if not expected. II. Career Assessment Career Assessments are tests that come in a variety of forms and rely on both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Career Assessments can help individuals identify and better articulate their unique interests, values, and skills. Career counselors, executive coaches, career development centers, and outplacement companies often administer career assessments to help individuals focus their search on careers that closely match their unique personal profile. Career counseling advisors assess people's interests, personality, values and skills, and also help them explore career options and research graduate and professional schools. Career counseling provides one-on-one or group professional assistance in exploration and decision making tasks related to choosing a major/occupation, transitioning into the world of work or further professional training. The field is vast and includes career placement, career planning, learning strategies and student development. By the late 20th century a plethora of choices (especially in the range of potential professions) and more widespread education had allowed it to become fashionable to plan (or design) a career: in this respect the careers of the career counsellor and of the career advisor have grown up. It is also not uncommon for adults in the late 20th/early 21st centuries to have dual or multiple careers, either sequentially or concurrently. Thus, professional identities have
新世纪商务英语第二版阅读教程2：叶兴国unit13答案Unit13 Part I Background Information 《国富论》总结了近代初期各国资本主义发展的经验，并在批刘吸收了当时有关重要经济理论的基础上，就整个国民经济运动过程作了较系统、较明白的描述。本书不但对英国资本主义的发展产生了重大的促进作用，且对世界资本主义的发展来说，恐怕也没有任何其他一-部资产阶级的经济学著作曾产生那么广泛的影响。难怪当时有些资产阶级学者把它奉为至宝。《国富论》在今日之意义主要表现在以下两点:首先，承认人在经济生活中的利已性是搞市场经济的前视。其次，亚当，斯密在(国富论)中提出的依革“看不见的手”管理经济尽量减少政府干预的思想对每个国家的经济改革有重要的指导意义。 Part II Notes to the Texts Text A of the Natural Progress of Opulence 1. The Wealth of Nations:中文译名为《国富论》或《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》，为影响世界历史进程的10部书之-，影响人类文化进程的100部经典之一，对中国近代社会影响最大的经济学译著。这是一部将经济学、政治理论、哲学、历史和经济实践活动奇妙结合在一起的书，作者亚当.斯密是英国著名古典政治经济学家、哲学家，被誉为现代西方经济学之父。 2. Adam Smith: 亚当.斯密(1723- -1790)，著名经济学家，经济学的主要创立者。1723年，亚当.斯密出生于苏格兰法夫郡的魁克卡迪，青年时最早就读于格拉斯哥大学，后转人牛津大学。1750年到1764年亚当.斯密在格拉斯哥大学担任逻辑学和道德学教授,于1759年出版了第一本著作《道德情操论》，并因此确立了他在知识界的地位。此后，亚当.斯密在1766年开始着手《国民财富的性质和原因的研究》(简称《国富论》)的写作，1773年基本完稿，后又经3年润色，直至1776年3月出版。此书的出版不仅在英国本土产生了重大影响，而且在欧洲和美洲也引起了大众的广泛讨论。因此，亚当.斯密被认为是“现代经济学之父”和“自由企业的保护神”。 3. The great commerce of every civilised society is that carried on between the inhabitants of the town and those of the country. It consists in the exchange of rude for manufactured produce, either immediately, or by the intervention of money, or of some sort of paper which represents money.文明社会的重要商业,就是都市居民农村居民通商。这种商业，有的是以原生产物与制造品直接交换，有的是以货币或纸币做媒介交换。 4. The town, in which there neither is nor can be any reproduction of substances, may very properly be said to gain its whole wealth and subsistence from the country. We must not, however, upon this account, image that the gain of the town is the loss of the country. 不再生产亦不能再生产生活资料的都市，其全部财富和全部生活资料都可说是得自农村。但我们不要根据这点，就说都市的利得即是农村的损失。 5.他们有相互的利害关系。这里,分工的结果，像其他方面的分工一样,对双方从事各种职业的居民都有利益。 6.按照事物的本性，生活资料必先于便利品和奢侈品，所以，生产前者的产业，亦必先
