涉外秘书英语考试国家职业资格秘书英语考查重点:秘书英语考试与普通英语能力考试的区别,其特点是考核考生熟悉、掌握和运用以英语为沟通媒介的秘书商务沟通与秘书商务写作的能力,因此秘书英语的考试重在涉外秘书工作的交流与沟通,这一点通过考试中的听力、阅读理解、翻译和写作都集中地反映出来。秘书英语试题的类型和形式一、秘书英语考试分为听力与笔试两部分。二、听力(20%):一般按听的内容有叙述和对话两种。三、笔试(80%):内容分为词汇与语法,阅读理解,翻译和写作。其中词汇与语法20%,阅读理解20~40%,翻译与写作20~40%。四、考试答题按出题的形式一般可分为单选,填空,判断,一一对应,完形填空、排序和书写笔答等。二、涉外秘书英语专业术语及商务知识1.公司职务总裁President执行副总裁ExecutiveVicePresident董事Director常务董事ManagingDirector董事会BoardofDirectors总经理GeneralManager/managingdirector总代理generalagent营销部经理MarketingManager(公关部、人事部、宣传部...顾问adviser/consultant名誉顾问thehonoraryconsultant2.电话接听1)Callsandcallers(P68)电话接待服务answeringservice总机switchboard分机extension可以帮我转分机211吗?MayIhaveextensiontwo-one-one?(电话)接、转connect请别挂电话,我把电话转接给您。Holdonplease,I’llconnectyou.transfer转接我把电话给您接过去。I’lltransferyourcall.Letmetransferthiscallforyou.Exercise(p91)2)Theuseofcheque(p101)Thefax3.DailyWork1)会议安排会议记录minutes宣布开会calltoorder电话会议conferencecall议案、提案resolution/motion该提案得到一致通过。Themotionwasunanimouslyapproved.中心议题thechiefitem休会adjournment/adjournThemeetingadjournedat4p.m.4.外贸英语(1)订单order下订单place/bookanorder报盘,报价offer实盘firmofferWearemakingyoutheoffersubjecttoyourreplyreachingherebeforethe15ththismonth.此报盘以你方在本月15日前复到有效。虚盘non-firmofferWearemakingyouthefollowingoffer,subjecttoourfinalconfirmation.现报盘如下,此报盘以我方最后确认为准。Theofferissubjecttopriorsale.该报盘以未售出前为准。(本报盘以货物先售出为条件。)Keepoffersopen/valid/firm保持报盘有效Wekeepouroffersopenforthreedays.我们的报盘三天有效。TheofferremainsvaliduntilOctober15th.该报盘有效期至十月十五日。有效期限timeofvalidity(2)价格术语(priceterm)运费freight单价unitprice零售价retailprice净价netprice批发价wholesaleprice现行价格currentprice/prevailingpriceFOB-freeonboard离岸价(船上交货价)CIF-cost,insuranceandfreight到岸价(成本加运费、保险费价)C&F-costandfreight成本加运费价(离岸加运费价)关税customsduty(3)付款条件信用证LetterofCredit不可撤销的即期信用证irrevocableLetterofCreditatsight远期信用证byirrevocableLetterofCreditat30dayssightinourfavor受益人为我方的30天期不可撤销信用证DocumentsagainstPayment付款交单DocumentsagainstAcceptance承兑交单TelegramTransfer电汇MailedTransfer信汇DemandDraft票汇BankDraft银行汇票(4)交货delivery交货时间timeofdelivery装运、装船(effect)shipment立即装运immediateshipments即期装运promptshipmentsExercise(P61P86)(5)discountn折扣aspecialdiscount特别折扣cashdiscount现金折扣tradediscount同业折扣,商业折扣quantitydiscount数量折扣exceptionaldiscount额外折扣atadiscount削价,降价,无销路的我们同意给你方百分之十五的折扣,但你得订购一万套才可以。Weagreetogiveyou15%discountprovidedyouorder10,000sets.翻译练习1.Knowledgeofthebusiness,toasecretary,generallymeansthatsheshouldbefamiliarwiththebusinessprocess,thebusinessdocuments.2.OurcompanyisthinkingtoexpandthebusinessrelationshipwithJapan.3.Weregrettoinformyouthatthegoodsyouinquiredarenotavailable.4.Wemusttakeeverymeanstokeepthispricesothatwecangainaprofit.我们必须尽所有力量保证这个价格,才能让我们获利。5.Negotiationteammembersshouldgetsomeinformationontheclimaticandculturalclothingrequirementspriortodeparture.谈判成员应该在出发前了解天气和服装习惯。6.Somebusinessculturesareespeciallykeenonlinkingbusinessmeetingswithdining.7.Settingupajointventureisalongandcomplicatedprocess.8.Besideslisteningtoyouropponent,youmustalsocloselyobservehisorhergestures.9.Manybodygesturessignalanxiety,tensionandalackofconfidence.10.TheEastAsianpolitelyoffershisbusinesscardwithbothhands.11.若您需要任何更详细的信息,请与我联系。我们期待着您的回信。Ifyourequireanyfurtherinformation,pleasecontactme.Welookforwardtohearingfromyou.12.我们在此随信附上产品目录和价格列表,上有折扣和交货日期的细节。Weencloseourcatalogueandpricelistwithdetailsofdiscountsanddeliverydates.13.我方不会晚于今年年底装船。Wecaneffectshipmentnolaterthantheendofthisyear.14.如您能告知该商品的现行价格,将不胜感谢。Wewouldappreciateitifyouwillletusknowtherulingpricesofthegoods.4.Ifthepayeewishes,(1分)endorseitontheback(1分)andthenhanditovertosomeoneelsefordepositintoanotheraccount.(2分)5.Faxequipmentusesthetelephonetotransmit,withinafewminutes,(1分)anyformofprinted,typedofhand–writtenmatter,(1分)drawing,diagramsandphotographsformonelocationtoaotherinthiscountryorabroad.(2分)三、商务英语写作(一)英语信函的格式LetterheadInsideAddressSalutationBodyComplimentaryclosesignature齐头式(blockstyle)齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用,以显示信件内容的严肃性,真实性,可靠性。用齐头式信件写信,其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空格,但段与段之间需要空一至二行。缩进式(Indentedstyle)其正文与称呼之间空一至二行,第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在Dear称呼的直接下面,以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都写在右下方,正文之间一般不空行。modifiedblockstyle(二)商务英语写作技巧1.一封信只谈一个主题(Oneletteronesubject)2.一个段落只写一个主题或只谈一件事情(oneparagraphoneidea)3.每篇文章布局一般分为三部分(黄金三段式)Paragraph1-主题(写此信的目的,要告诉对方什么是,或要对方做什么配合)Paragraph2-说明(为什么要有此要求,理由为何?用第二段来说明及支持主题)Paragraph3-结尾(希望对方如何配合,或怎么合作)例子:有一批出货因为台风来袭要延期,如何给客户写信?主题:WearesorrytoinformyouthattheshipmentofNo.001willbedelayed.说明:Becausethereisatyphoonherethisweek.结尾:Pleasekindlyextendtheshippingdatetotheendofnextmonth.4.语言要求:7CClarity(清楚)Conciseness(简洁)Correctness(准确)Concreteness(具体)Courtesy(礼貌)Consideration(亲切)Completeness(完整)(1)IamwritingthisnotebecauseIwanttothankyouverymuchfororganizingtheopenhousethatwasheldlastThursday.(改)ThankyouverymuchfororganizinglastThursday'sopenhouse.(2)Wehavebeguntoexportourmachinetocountriesabroad.(改)Wehavebeguntoexportourmachines.(3)Ourdeliverytimewillbemorethan90daysduetohotseason.(改)Ourdeliverytimewillbewithin120daysduetohotseason.(4)使用完整的句子,少用分词短语。Hopingtohearfromyou.(改)Wehopetohearfromyousoon.(5)一句话中,不要使用同一个词表达不同的意思。Wouldyoupleas
