内容简介
第十版《外贸英语函电》是在1991年诞生,于2021完成第九版修订的《外贸英语函电》的基础上进一步完善而成的。两代外贸前辈呕心沥血打造的精品教材托付给我们,是一份厚礼,更是一份重任。为了让这本走过三十余载春秋、培养了无数商场精英的《外贸英语函电》
在信息技术飞速发展的今天仍能保持领先地位,第十版力求在传承经典的基础上做出些许创新:
第一,适用性的传承与创新。作为国家“十一五”规划教材,《外贸英语函电》成为至少两代外贸人不可或缺的好助手,也是国际经济与贸易专业学生在学校里学习的首选教材,其清晰流畅的架构系统展示了外贸流程之全景;其细致准确的词句提供了外贸各环节必要的交流工具;其配套习题更是夯实了学生对语言点的把握。因此,为了满足科技创新导致读者对跨境电商实务英语的需求,本版修订在保留原来结构的基础上特别将第九版的第13章电子商务调到了第1章,并在每一章都新增了Part One, 既兼顾了跨境电商的实务英语,又诠释了
当代商务英语地道的交流方式;因为素材全部来自母语者近两年内写作的样信,可以帮助读者更好地体会英语语境的表达礼节与艺术。
第二,技术性的传承与创新。Part One 为了更好地满足读者全面提高英语听说读写能力的需要,将所有样信配以扫二维码听原声朗读音频的功能。Part Two 则延续了第八版以来扫二维码获取中文翻译及习题答案的功能。
第三,内容的传承与创新。为致敬经典以及对“从前慢——车马、邮件都慢”时代的缅怀,原第1章(这一版作为第2章)纸质书信虽做了大幅删减,仍予以保留,以便读者在正式场合需要纸质书信往来时,能够符合基本格式要求。但为了体现随着中国经济高速发展,在过去几十年中出现的出口商品升级以及出口市场多元化的特点,Part Two 将全部样信的内容做了调整:以某科技公司出口科技型产品为背景,对国际贸易全部流程涉及的英文表达方式进行详尽的解析。在第12章Situational Writing 中,特别增加了网络视频会议的表达方式以及求职过程中各类邮件的写法。
