商务英语专业词汇.doc

“折扣”还是“贴现”商务英语中有一些使用十分频繁的词汇，它们在不同的语境下意思也有很大不同。上次我们讲了floating，这次我们来讲讲discount这个词。例一：You can get a 5% discount if you order on a regular basis.如果你方定期给我方下定单，你方便可得到 5% 的折扣。例二：If a seller extends credit to a time draft, they have made a trade acceptance. The seller can request the bank finance the transaction by buying the draft. The bank will discount.如卖方开出的是远期汇票，以此向买方提供信用，此时就做了一笔商业汇票承兑业务。卖方可以请银行买下商业承兑汇票，银行用这个办法对出口商融资，也就是说，银行对该汇票贴现了。注解：discount 在这两句话中的意思一个是折扣，另一个是贴现。折扣是指商品在原价的基础上按百分比降价，贴现则是指未到期的票据向银行融资，银行扣取自买进日至到期日的利息，并收取一定的手续费后，将余下的票面金额付给持票人。商务词汇：商务英语专业难词汇总1、abandon rate 挂断率（衡量客户服务质量的指标之一，计算方式为：拨入客户服务中心的电话总数中客户因等候时间过长而挂断的电话数目占总数的百分比）例： By choosing the right on-hold music， the company has reduced abandon rate by 50%.2、absenteeism 旷工，缺勤例：Improvements in working conditions helped to reduce levels of absenteeism.3、absolute interest 绝对产权，绝对权益例：The company has an absolute interest in the building.4、academic intelligence 学术方面的才智例：Phrases such as solves problems well，displays interest in the world at large，accepts others for what they are，admits mistakes，is goal oriented， and converses well suggest that people focus on the worldly side of intelligence， as opposed to just academic intelligence.5、academic smarts 学术方面的才能例：Its not the usual way of thinking about it - academic smarts-IQ.1、accelerated learning 速成学习例：Accelerated learning shows that language learning an be fast， effective and enjoyable.2、access 使用，享用权例1： Access to these files is restricted.2 ： Students have free access to the librarys scientific literature.3、access 进入例：Its acquisition of the group will allow it to gain access to Frances railway business.4、access fee 使用费例：They have cut the access fee long-distance providers pay to local phone companies.5、accessories 装饰品，首饰，衣饰例1：I would like to thank you for the interest you expressed in our range of childrens and teenage fashion sportswear and accessories.例2：As Potter-mania sweeps the nation， add a magical touch to your mobile with these fun Harry Potter-themed phone accessories.1、account 账户例：When the debt is cleared- as it must be by the time the customer retires- and the account goes into credit， it will attract interest at about 5 per cent.2、account 客户，生意往来关系例：The firm is one of our major accounts.3、accountancy 会计工作例： To her， accountancy was a means to find out about business and be paid at the same time.4、accounts 账目例：The financial director was accused of falsifying the company accounts.5、accounts 会计部门 即 accounts department例： She works in accounts.6、accounts manager 会计部经理7、accounts payable 应付账款例： Accounts payable is created when a firm deals with suppliers who extend credit.8、accounts receivable 应收账款例： Assets include cash， accounts receivable， inventory， property and equipment， and patents.9、achievable 切实可行的，可达到的例： Your objectives should be relevant to the job you have applied for and achievable.10、Achilles heel 原意为阿基里斯的脚踵，引申为致命弱点例： However， an Achilles heel can usually be found that allows the headhunter to persuade them that they are， in fact， wanting to change.1、acid test 决定性的考验例： The acid test is whether or not somebody will actually buy the product.2、acquire 购入，取得所有权例： This is Cussons newly acquired factory in Poland.3、acquisition 收购例： The accelerated rate of globalisation has left companies desperately seeking overseas acquisitions in order to remain competitive.4、across-the-board 全面，全体例1： They have decided to increase prices by 4% across-the-board.例2： To save money， identify current problems， and make the old company more dfficient， the new president ordered an across-the-board examination of expenditures and operational procedures in every department.5、action figure （仿真）玩具人，活动人6、activewear 运动服例： Lauren has been making activewear and basics like jeans and leather jackets for almost a quarter of a century.7、activity 经营项目， 经营业务例： The main activities of the company are manufacturing computer components and direct retailing to consumers.8、act of God 不可抗力， 天灾， 亦作 force majeure.例1.
