《外贸英语函电》课程总结 《外贸英语函电》课程是国际贸易专业的必修课程,本课程系统讲述了外贸英语函电中常用文体的基本知识,并详细讲解了外贸业务磋商过程中各个环节往来函电的实例。本人从事该课程的教学三年,现做课程总结。 一、教学目标 通过外贸英语函电的学习,应当让学生达到以下要求:(1)通过阅读和学习介绍外贸交易业务过程中的章节,了解并熟悉外贸进出口业务的关键步骤;(2)重点掌握外贸业务信函的撰写要点,初步做到能再一般情况下写出内容确切、表达得体、符合规范、语句通顺、没有语法错误的信函(由于现代化的信息传送方式如传真的撰写和普通信函相似,故以掌握信函撰写为重点);(3)了解外贸业务过程中的相关术语,包括交易条件和环境。(4)让学生了解业务信函的趋向,并学习电传、传真、邮件的有关知识及写法 二、教学方法 本课程采用多媒体教学,根据国贸专业学生英语的实际情况,采用不同的方法,提高教学质量,保证教学目标的实现。在教学过程中,我先后采用学生朗读、分组翻译、角色扮演等方法。同时,为了帮助学生复习和巩固所学知识,提高学生们的学习兴趣,定期使用经典欧美歌曲、经典电影片段等影像资料。 三、教学过程 基于“学生为本”的思想和理念,本课程的教学过程设计为:单词句式教学、函电教学、集中练习。单词句式部分,首先,跟读单词和词汇,并让同学们课后进行熟读熟记;其次,课堂听写,检验学生们的记忆情况;最后,结合经典英语歌曲,对重点词句进行强化,同时提高学生们的学习兴趣,营造轻松的学习氛围。在函电教学阶段,采用分组学习与教师重点讲解结合的方法,提高学生学习的自主性。提前布置函电,每组完成朗读、翻译两项任务,然后,对于学生朗读和翻译中存在的问题,进行及时纠正,并对重点用语和词汇进行讲解。集中练习阶段,主要是书写函电和完成课后习题。 四、学情分析 10国贸三个班级,分两班教学,即:10国贸1班和10国贸2、3班。总体上来看,大部分同学都能按照老师的教学方法和过程进行学习,效果也不错。10国贸1班情况好于其他班级,这个班级同学英语基础好,好学上进。国贸2班和3班基本上能按照课堂要求进行,总体还可以,但是部分同学记不住单词和用语,这可能与学习用功程度有关。三个班级同学课后作业都能按时完成,质量可以得到保证。在教学过程中,角色扮演环节,每个班级每组同学都能按照要求进行,用英语进行对话。应该说,教学过程都很顺利,教学目标基本达到。 五、考试分析 上学期,在外贸英语函电课程考试中,10国贸1班通过率87.5%,10国贸2班76%,10国贸3班的通过率率是66%。总体来看,外贸英语函电教学达到了教学目标的要求,国

礼貌原则对外贸英语函电写作的启示 商务英语信函的交流不仅仅是文字,信息的交流,也是心理的交流。在给不同的语言背景,不同的心理接受习惯和不同的文化背景的外商进行有效的沟通的时候,得体性的要求是必须的。 一、关于礼貌原则 20世纪80年代,英语语言学家利奇(G.N.Leach,1983)从修辞学、语体学的角度出发,提出了著名的“礼貌原则”。他提出礼貌原则的6项标准,其中每条准则都包括两条次准则。(1)策略准则:使他人受损最小;使他人受惠最大。(2)宽宏原则:使自身受惠最小;使自身受损最大。(3)赞誉原则:尽力缩小对他人的贬损;尽力夸大对他人的赞扬。(4)谦虚准则:尽力缩小对自身的赞扬;尽力夸大对自身的贬损。(5)赞同准则:尽力缩小自身对他人的分歧,尽力夸大自身和他人之间的一致。(6)同情原则:尽力缩小自身对他人的厌恶,尽力夸大自身对他人的同情。 二、礼貌原则在外贸函电写作中的应用 外贸英文函电旨在通过商务信函写作,促进贸易活动的各个环节有效进行。书写者是否能够有效的使用商务言语达到“以言成事”的目的就显的相当重要的。要有效的使用这种言语是需要策略的。外贸英文函电中处处体现了合作原则和礼貌原则,而这些原则可以知道人们的阅读和写作实践。 (一)词汇:
1.人称 交际者应将自己置于对方的立场上,尊重、体谅、赞誉对方 尽量使对方受益,使对方感到自己的重要性受到尊重,从而体现 礼貌原则。在行文中多用第2人称,少用第一人称。这样显得更 加真诚有礼貌,用第一人称使你感到冷淡。 例:I think that you did a good job in selling our products. You did a good job in selling our products in your area. 分析:的第一句虽然合理,但是没有完全采取对方立场。用“我认为”在一定程度上剥夺了对方的荣誉感,而是我给你的一 种赞许。第2句读起来使客户受益,充分体现了礼貌原则。 2.肯定词的运用 肯定性的词语强调积极方面,给人愉快的感觉,否定性的词 语强调消极的方面,给人不愉快的暗示,因此在措辞时尽量舍弃 否定性的词语而选用肯定性的词语。 例1.Your immediate attention would be appreciate. 例2. Please note that our contract will be valid until August. 分析:在例1中,使用了appreciate积极词汇。在例2中句 子采用了valid而避免使用否定词terminate, 因为后者有失恭敬 3.模糊限定词的应用
2016常用的外贸英语 (一) Let''s talk about the problem of quantity. 我们谈谈数量的问题吧。 You''ll issue a certificate of quantity and weight. 你们必须出具数量和重量证明书。 The package number and quantity are identical with each other. 包装号与商品数量相吻合。 Quantity matters as much as quality of price, doesn''t it? 数量和价格、质量一样重要,是吗? We believe we shall be able to better satisfy our customers quantitatively. 我们相信能在数量上更好地使客户满意。 The quantity you ordered is considerable. 你们订的数量还可以。 We can supply any reasonable quantity of this merchandise. 对此商品,我们能提供任何适当的数量。 I must advise the farm of the quantity of the wheat as per the contract. 我将按合同规定通知农场小麦的数量。 If the quantity of the goods does not conform to that stipulated in the contract, the importer will refuse to accept the goods. 如果进口商发现货物数量与合同规定不符,他将拒收。 Is there any quantity limitation for the import of cotton cloth from China? 从中国进口的棉布有数量限制吗? You remarked yesterday you would sell on shipped quality, quantity, and weight.
