第一篇：世紀商務英語unit 1

Unit 1 美國人的生活方式

Background knowledge Why American Culture is Unique American culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically American.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族)and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.1.Rough Environment The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American.The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast.From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west.The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of American.2.Ethnic Diversity

The population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions.People refer to the United States as “melting pot ”and the dominant people are British.American is made up of WASP+MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.3.Plural Religion The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism;almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Christianity(基督教)is the dominant religion in American and Protestant(新教)is predominate(主導).Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea.Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sects of religion.Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars.The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion.So there are more religions in America than in other countries.4.Current Influence Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.Many Americans live in mobile homes which are built with wheels.They can be moved.The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic.American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights.There is certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority.Americans also like to be involved in many challenging activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits.All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.Reading Skill Focus 1.C Clue：首先，第一句話表明說話人對于后面發(fā)生的事情感到非常驚訝。從第二句話中，我們明白了“當我們正在談話時，彼得很唐突地（abruptly）轉(zhuǎn)身離開了房間”，這就是說話人為什么感到吃驚的原因。選項中最接近這個意思的應該是C項。2.D Clue：通過后面句子中的解釋“because we had so many apples”，推測出“蘋果大豐收”，因此可以猜出“abundant”的意思是“豐富的，大量的”，正確答案是D項。3.B Clue：通過前面句子設(shè)定的背景（when Sara was sick），再加上后面句子的描述（We couldn’ t hear what she was trying to say），很顯然，Sara說話的聲音很輕，B項為正確答案。

4.D Clue：從后面的句子“我們不得不推車步行上山”，可以分析出“山勢陡峭”，應該是難以攀爬（too arduous to climb），所以應選擇D項。5.B Clue：從后面的句子中可以找到“the lost ships”，這與前面一句話的意思相近，因此可以推測出“vanish”是“消失，突然不見”的意思。

6.D Clue：從后面句子的解釋中，我們可以了解到“我的父親是一位成功的商人、運動員、作家和跑車修理工”，顯然地，這位父親是很有才能的（talented）人，而且多才多藝（versatile）。

7.A Clue：前面兩句話中傳達了這樣的信息：喬治先生在77歲時，仍然可以從事多種體育運動，這說明他是一位非常健壯（extremely robust）的老人，所以最恰當?shù)拇鸢甘沁x項A。

8.D Clue：根據(jù)常識，在空難（air crash）中生還的可能性一般很小，所以，“醫(yī)生”表達的意思應該是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（only a slim hope of survival）”。

9.B Clue：根據(jù)自然方面的常識，烏云、雷電交加表明暴風雨“即將來臨（imminent）”。10.D

Clue：在該句中，非常重要的線索就是“strike”這個詞。“在工人罷工期間，他們只能推遲（suspend）橋梁的建造。”所以，正確的答案應該是選項D。

美國人的婚禮 美國居住著各種各樣的人，他們的婚禮也千差萬別。有熱鬧莊重的教堂婚禮；有在山頂上舉行的婚禮，客人們光腳相伴登高；也有在海底舉行的婚禮，客人們戴著氧氣罐跟著下水。但婚禮無論在哪兒舉行或怎樣舉行，總有一些既定的傳統(tǒng)風俗。在舉行婚禮前新人要訂婚，然后給鄰居、好友及遠方親戚發(fā)放請?zhí)．斠磺袦蕚渚途w，最激動人心的時刻就來到了。婚禮本身通常持續(xù)20到40分鐘。新人伴著《婚禮進行曲》進入教堂。新娘手持一束鮮花由她的父親挽著最后進來，父親要把女兒“交給新郎”。而新郎則要從側(cè)門進入教堂。當新人走到教堂的圣壇前時，新娘和新郎彼此宣誓。傳統(tǒng)的結(jié)婚誓言是：“我發(fā)誓，從今往后，不論境遇好壞、家境貧富、生病與否，我們都相親相愛，至死不分離。”宣誓過后，新郎新娘交換戒指。按照古老的風俗，通常把戒指戴在左手無名指上。儀式

過后，通常會有宴會，叫“喜宴”（婚宴）。宴會上參加婚禮的客人會祝福新婚夫婦。新郎新娘乘坐汽車離開教堂，汽車上裝飾著氣球、彩帶、噴彩條之類的東西。“新婚燕爾”幾個字寫在汽車的行李箱上或后玻璃窗上。新娘新郎從客人撒下的彩色紙屑中跑向汽車。小兩口兒開車離開教堂時，朋友們常常開車追趕他們，不停地按喇叭來吸引別人對他們的注意。然后小兩口兒就去度蜜月了。

Notes 1.(para.3)The bride carrying a bouquet enters last with her father who will “give her away”.“give her away”（在舉行婚禮時）把新娘交給新郎。

2.(para.3)“to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish, till death do us part”“.till death do us part”至死不分離（英語婚禮誓言中沿襲下來的固定用法，不用does）

3.(para.4)When the couple drives away from the church, friends often chase them in cars, honking and drawing attention to them.“When the couple drives away from the church” 是句子的時間狀語，句子的主語是friends，謂語是chase，in cars 是方式狀語，“honking and drawing attention to them”是伴隨狀語.Language points 1.wedding reception: a party to celebrate the marriage ceremony of two people e.g.From vaunted Napa Valley wineries to vistas along Lake Tahoe, California couples have booked up thousands of churches and wedding reception sites hoping to begin wedded bliss on the lucky date of 7/7/07.從聞名遐邇的葡萄酒產(chǎn)地納帕溪谷到美麗的塔霍湖畔，加利福尼亞州幾千所教堂和婚宴地已被預訂，新人們希望2007年7月7日這一吉日能給他們的婚姻帶來幸福。在商務英語中“reception”指外事接待，常見的詞組有“business reception”（商務宴會），“welcome reception”（歡迎晚宴）等。

E.g.They’re for a business reception at the end of the month.他們在本月底前來參加一個商務宴會。He will arrive here at 10 a.m.and please attend the welcome reception for him at 10:15.他將在商務10點鐘到達。請大街10點15分出席為他舉行的歡迎會。

Comprehension Check Part 1 — 3 — 8 — 2 — 1— 4 — 7 — 6 Part 2 1.B Clue：“before”引導的從句設(shè)定了 “在一對男女結(jié)婚之前”這樣的背景，那么我們就可以據(jù)此猜出選項中最恰當?shù)膽撌荁項，即“他們正式同意與對方結(jié)婚”，也就是“訂婚”（become engaged）。

2.D Clue：根據(jù)常識，新娘在結(jié)婚儀式上一般都手持一束鮮花（bouquet）在父親的陪同下最后進入教堂，然后父親要把她交給新郎，所以正確答案應該是D項。3.A Clue：根據(jù)常識，參加婚禮的客人一般會向新娘和新郎拋撒五彩紙屑（confetti），所以正確答案應該是A項。

邀請信的分類介紹按使用的場合與使用對象，大致可分為三類：請柬(Invitation Card)；邀請信(Letter of Invitation)；邀請便條(Invitation Note)；其中，請柬(Invitation Card)一般用在邀請賓客參加較為隆重、盛大、重要的社交活動。

請柬（Invitation Cards）一般分為正式和非正式兩種。正式請柬的特點是：格式比較規(guī)范，用詞準確、簡潔。非正式請柬就可以是熟人之間比較隨便的便條了。

正式請柬一般包括的內(nèi)容有：賓主姓名（邀請人與被邀請人姓名）、表示歡迎的句子、聚會內(nèi)容、時間（具體到日、時、分，還要有星期幾）、地點，如果需要的話，還有特別說明的文字。英語請柬中的邀請?zhí)子谜Z“Request the pleasure of the company of”,相當于漢語中的“敬請光臨”。需要注意的是：

1.賓主姓名一律采用第三人稱，其中人名、單位名、節(jié)日和活動名稱都應采用全稱。夫婦同時具名時，通常“先生”寫在其“夫人”前。行文不用標點符號。

2.時間不用阿拉伯數(shù)字寫。寫請柬的日期一般不寫在請柬上。需安排座位的宴請活動，應要求被邀者答復能否出席。請柬上一般注上R.S.V.P.（請答復）法文縮寫字樣，并注明聯(lián)系電話，也可用電話詢問能否出席。

3.若邀請人對被邀者出席時的服裝有要求，可在請柬的左下角或右下角加以注明。請柬一般提前一周至二周發(fā)出。

美國的園藝 美國人喜歡許多活動。在家中他們喜歡讀書，看電視，制作藝術(shù)品，玩電腦游戲等，但最喜愛的還是戶外活動。在過去的15年中，園藝已經(jīng)成為美國最流行的戶外活動。《有機園藝》雜志的最新調(diào)查表明，有7800萬美國人從事園藝活動，占成年人口的40％多。該項調(diào)查還顯示，一般從事園藝的人在種植季節(jié)平均每周花3到4小時在花園里挖土、修剪、種植及澆水。此外他們還投入資金。每年美國人花約250億美元用來購買種子、花草、灌木、樹木及促使植物生長的肥料。他們還花錢買工具以及在花園工作穿的特殊衣服。

3為什么越來越多的美國人喜歡園藝呢？大部分人以此為樂。園藝工作可使他們的家宅變得更漂亮，也讓他們感到離大自然更近了。園藝還是一種鍛煉身體的好方式，而且在新鮮空氣和陽光里工作可消除人的緊張情緒。而對有的人來說，園藝是一種精神活動。你把種子撒在地里，為它們澆水。它們會長大開花，之后大部分又在秋天枯萎。但有的會在來年春天又重新長出來，年復一年。許多美國人在自己的花園里不僅僅種花。他們還種水果、蔬菜和藥草。他們在家 里種植糧食作物有許多不同理由。有的說自己給自己提供食物是一件很愉快的事，就像他們的祖先當初在農(nóng)場生活時一樣。有的說這樣可以省錢，有的則說他們要在整個夏天都吃最新鮮的蔬菜。在美國不是每個人都有自己的花園，但園藝對這些人來說也是深受喜愛的。他們可以在盆里種花然后放在臨街的陽臺上，或在窗臺上放一些小盒子來種藥草。他們還可以參加社區(qū)花園的種植工作。社區(qū)的花園通常為當?shù)卣校蚩拷≌瑯牵蛟诠珗@里。花園被分成許多小塊。這樣即使沒有自己的土地，許多人也可以有種花種草的機會。

Notes 1.(para.2)The new study says that during the growing season an average gardener spends 3 or 4 hours a week working in the garden digging, cutting, planting and watering.“digging, cutting, planting and watering” 做 working 的伴隨狀語。

2.(para.3)But some will come back again the next spring, and every year after that.every year after that 是一個省略句= every year some will come back again after that.That 代替前句中的 the next spring。

3.(para.4)Some say it is satisfying to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms.“it is satisfying to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms” 是賓語從句，其中 “to provide their own food like their ancestors who live on farms” 是主語，it 是形式主語。

美國人的飲食 可口可樂是全世界銷路最好的軟飲料（不含酒精的飲料）。從赤道到北極，可口可樂每天的銷售量為一億六千五百萬瓶。在美國，任何人，不論年齡大小，收入多少，都可以在任何場合飲用可口可樂，而不至于有何不自在之感。但在美國之外，可口可樂往往是青年人的飲料。可口可樂不是惟一的可樂飲料。百事可樂是它的著名競爭對手并擁有自己的愛好者，因為它不像可口可樂那么甜。可樂飲料含有從可拉果中提取的咖啡因，并且是惟一的既可提神又有刺激性的軟飲料。加利福尼亞生產(chǎn)的優(yōu)質(zhì)酒得到歐洲行家們的贊揚，但有些美國人更喜歡烈性酒。富裕的美國人以喝雞尾酒的方式消費大量酒精，這種酒是用威士忌、杜松子酒和伏特加之類的烈性酒調(diào)制而成的。漢堡包和熱狗也許是最著名的美國食品了。熱狗——面包夾香腸——可以在街角的快餐柜和熱狗攤上買到。從舊金山到紐約的中小飯館，所有的菜單上都有漢堡包，它與牛排、炸仔雞和海味并列。它們與炸薯條和蔬菜色拉放在一起出售。在多數(shù)情況下，這筆錢當然值得一花。要甜點的話，你可以點蘋果餡餅、乳酪餅、巧克力夾心蛋糕、冰淇淋和圣代。美國的冰淇淋是全世界最好吃的冰淇淋了。美國人喜歡“快”，這個“快”目前也已進入了飲食業(yè)。許多飯館，尤其是大型連鎖飲食公司，“麥當勞”，專門做“快餐”，也就是在柜臺隨時可以買到或帶走的食物。飯菜做好了，趁熱就裝進紙板或塑料制的容器。熱飲料則裝入帶有蓋得很嚴的塑料杯中。還有服務到車上的“路旁”快餐店，顧客甚至用不著離開小汽車。他們先在一塊寫有菜 單的牌子前停車，通過麥克風訂飯菜，然后再往前開20碼，就有女服務員遞上做好并裝在盒里的飯菜。愿意在飯館里坐在餐桌邊進餐的人的飯菜也同樣裝在紙板或塑料制的容器中，刀、叉、湯匙也都是塑料做的。顧客吃完了，除了盤子以外，其余都扔進垃圾箱。在大多數(shù)城市里，無論大城市還是小城市，你都可以吃到墨西哥食品或意大利食品。甚至小鎮(zhèn)上也有咖啡館提供簡單的飯菜、各種飲料和非常好的剛煮好的咖啡。你坐在柜臺邊或桌旁就行。飯店和咖啡館的服務熱情周到，效率很高。男女服務員經(jīng)常自我介紹：“我是多恩（或孟德比）。您要點什么？”這種友好毫不做作，也并不完全是想多得小費。一般，人們常另付賬單金額的15％作為小費。男女服務員最討人喜歡的一點是他們屢次三番把你的咖啡杯重新斟滿而無需另外加錢！許多美國家庭以自己的烹調(diào)而自豪。他們有冷藏箱，可以把他們在花園種的或從超級市場買的食物貯藏起來。超級市場是大型自助商店、出售各種食品——新鮮的，罐頭裝的或冰凍的。因此，像快餐館一樣，他們的商品較便宜，容易銷售。美國從三十年代起就有超級市場了，現(xiàn)在超級市場已遍及世界的大部分地區(qū)。

Notes: 1.(para.1)But whereas outside the USA Coke tends to be a young person’s drink, inside the USA anybody of any age or income can drink it without embarrassment on any occasion.Whereas相當于but in contrast，意思是“然而”，又如： He earns $8,000 a year whereas she gets at least $20,000 a year.他一年掙8,000美元而她至少可掙20,000美元。

2.(para.5)They first stop at a board where the menu is displayed, give an order through a microphone and then drive another twenty yards, where a girl hands them the meal, ready cooked and packed.where the menu is displayed 和 where a girl hands them the meal, ready cooked and packed 都是定語從句，分別修飾board和twenty yards。ready cooked and packed 是過去分詞短語做meal的定語。ready 是副詞，意思是“預先；已經(jīng)”。

3.(para.7)So like the fast food restaurants, their produce is less expensive and easier to market.market 在句中為動詞，意思是“銷售”。

Part 3 Knowledge and Skills.Translation 直譯與意譯

英漢的結(jié)構(gòu)有相同的一面，漢譯時可照譯，即所謂“直譯”——既忠實原文內(nèi)容，又符合原文結(jié)構(gòu)形式。但這兩種語言之間還有很多差別，如完全照譯，勢必出現(xiàn)“英化漢語”，這時就需要“意譯”，在忠實原文內(nèi)容的前提下，擺脫原文結(jié)構(gòu)束縛，使譯文符合漢語規(guī)范。特別需要注意的是：“直譯”不等于“死譯”，“意譯”也不等于“亂譯”。

1）直譯與死譯

原文結(jié)構(gòu)與漢語結(jié)構(gòu)是一致，照譯即可。但如果原文結(jié)構(gòu)與漢語不一致，任然采取直譯的方法，就成“死譯”了。

e.g.In some automated plants electronic computers control the entire production line.在某些自動化工廠,電子計算機控制整個生產(chǎn)線.(直譯)

The earth acts like a big magnet 地球的作用就像一塊大磁鐵.(直譯)

Manganese has the same effect on the strength of steel as silicon 錳有同樣影響,在強度

上像硅.(死譯)

第2第3句譯文既不忠實原意,又不符合漢語表達方式,因此,必須運用“詞類轉(zhuǎn)換”、“成分轉(zhuǎn)換”、“詞（語）序調(diào)整”等手段使譯文通順。兩句應分別譯為“地球作用像一塊大磁鐵”、“錳像硅一樣，會影響鋼的強度”。

2）意譯與亂譯

只有在正確理解原文基礎(chǔ)上，運用相應翻譯方法以調(diào)整原文結(jié)構(gòu)，用規(guī)范漢語加以表達，這才真正做到“意譯”。翻譯時間證明，大量英語句子漢譯都要采用“意譯法”。

如果把“意譯”理解為憑主觀臆想來理解原文，不分析原文結(jié)構(gòu)，只看詞面意義，自己編造句子，勢必造成“亂譯”。

e.g.It’s easy to compress a gas，it is just a matter of reducing the space between the molecules，Like a liquid a gas has no shape，but unlike it will expand and fill any contain it is put in.氣體是很容易壓縮，這正是壓縮分子之間距離根據(jù)。氣體和液體一樣沒有形狀，但又不同于液體，氣體膨脹時會充滿任何盛放它容器。（亂譯）

例句中“亂譯”是有主觀臆想（不正確選擇詞義，任意轉(zhuǎn)換成分）造成。在這里，將matter譯成“根據(jù)”在物理學上是講不通的，因為“壓縮氣體也就是減少分子之間距離”，兩者是一回事。Matter 應作“事情”“問題”解。

將will expand任意轉(zhuǎn)換為時間狀語，不符合原文原意。Will expand and fill 應譯為“會擴張并充滿”。綜上所述，原譯文可改為“氣體很容易壓縮，那只不過是縮小分子之間距離而已。氣體和液體一樣沒有形狀，但又不同于液體，因為氣體會擴張并充滿任何盛放它的容器”。

1.介紹客人的禮節(jié)

聚會時經(jīng)常會有互未謀面的客人。開席之前主人應該逐一介紹雙方相識，然后再入座。介紹時一般先介紹女士、長者和高貴者。介紹兩個地位不同的人認識時，應該先讓地位較高的人士介紹地位較低的一方，其后再向年長的女士和年長的男士依長幼次序介紹年輕的女士和男士。

2.選用稱謂的禮節(jié)

介紹時對雙方的稱謂和姓名以及用語，都要根據(jù)場合正式程序來選用。具體場合有三種。

1）正式場合：稱謂和姓名用Dr./Professor/Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss/+First Name 和Last Name。

e.g 1.向地位較高的已婚女士介紹男士時可說：

Mrs.Carton, may I introduce James Harding.James, this is Mrs.Carton(or Mrs.Jane Carton).卡爾頓夫人，請讓我介紹詹姆斯?哈定。詹姆斯，這位羅杰?卡爾頓夫人（或：簡?卡爾頓夫人）。

2）向年長者介紹年輕的女士時可說：

Mrs.Baker, this is Miss Patricia Haly.Patty, this is Mr.Edgar Brown.布朗先生，這位是帕特麗夏?哈利小姐。帕蒂，這位是埃德加?布朗先生。

3）向長者介紹年輕的男士時可說：

Mr.Baker, this is Robert Green.Robert, this is Mr.John Baker.貝克先生，這位是羅伯特?格林，羅伯特，這位是約翰?貝克先生。

4）向年長者介紹18歲以下的女孩時可說：

This is Linda Bell, Mr.and Mrs.Alan Ross 艾倫?羅斯先生和夫人這位是琳達?貝爾。注意：

1)向長者介紹18歲以下的女孩時，介紹一方就行了。如例4），琳達即可向羅斯夫婦問候。

2)有時向地位高、年齡大的人介紹自己的伙伴時，不用稱謂和姓。

e.g.Allow me, sir, to introduce you to my fellow travelers.先生，請容許我向你介紹我的旅伴。

1）較正式的場合：用Dr./Professor/Mr./Mrs./Miss.+姓氏。如被介紹者是青年男女，通常用First Name 和Last Name。

E.g.① Marie Green, let me introduce Professor Banks.Professor Banks, this is Marie Green.She's here to study for her doctorate in Law.瑪麗?格林，讓我向你介紹班克斯教授。班克斯教授，這位是瑪麗?格林，是來這里攻讀法律博士學位的。

②下面是較正式場合常用的介紹用語。

Rose Morison,I'd like you to meet Bruce Read.羅莎?莫里森，我想你見見布魯斯?里德。

Rose Morison, have you met Bruce Read ? 羅莎?莫里森，你見過布魯斯?里德嗎？

Rose Morison, do you know Bruce Read ? 羅莎?莫里森，你認識布魯斯?里德嗎？

2）非正式場合：用被介紹者的First Name。

e.g.①美國人在非正式場合介紹雙方時常用名字，有時介紹其父母時也只用名字。

“John, these are my parents, George and Sylvia.”“Pleased to meet you.”“約翰，這是我的父母，喬治和西爾維婭。“認識你們很高興。””

②“Dad,this is my boyfriend,Kevin.”“Hello,Kevin.Andrea's told me all about you.”“老爸，這是我的男朋友凱文。“你好，凱文。安德莉總在我面前提到”你。”

③“Hi,Jack, meet my brother Tom.”“Hi there Tom!I didn't expect to see you here.”“你好，杰克，這位是我的哥哥湯姆。“你好，湯姆！沒想到在這兒見”到你。”

4）自我介紹的用語：

①用于正式的和較正式的場合：

Let me introduce myself.My name is Frank Darney,legal advisor to Netcape Com.容許我來自我介紹，我叫弗蘭克?達尼，是網(wǎng)景公司的法律顧問。②用于非正式場合：

Hello,I'm Alan Simmons.I work in the Forbes Parent Company.大家好，我叫艾倫?西蒙。我在福布斯總公司工作。

3.介紹后雙方應行使的禮節(jié)

介紹后雙方要互相問候，常用How do you do?或It's nice to meet you 等。如果是兩位男士，通常握手以示相識，如是一男一女，應等女方伸出手，男方才可以伸出手相握；如若女方不伸手，男士是不應該主動伸手的。握手時用力要適中，太重了表現(xiàn)的過于熱情（尤其同女士握手，太用勁會使女士產(chǎn)生squeeze的感覺），太輕了使對方感到敷衍了事，對人不尊敬。

介紹客人時切勿漏掉任何一個人。未介紹應該介紹的人會被視為不禮貌的行為，而沒被介紹的人會被認為是不受歡迎的人。

此外，向外國朋友介紹中國同事或上級時，有兩點值得注意：

①我們國家的習慣是介紹客人時常愛用官銜、職務或職業(yè)名稱等冠于姓氏之前，但有些名稱詞在英語用法上卻不用于姓氏前，如：secretary，director，engineer，manager，master等。所以，如要介紹說“這位是北京化工廠張廠長。”要說This is Mr.Zhang,Director of Beijing Chemical Plant.。

②介紹已婚女士時，要考慮到西方人的習俗：女士婚后改用其丈夫的姓，而我國女士婚后仍保持娘家姓氏。如介紹說“這位是鄧教授的夫人。”英語若說成This is Mrs.Professor Deng.這就成了“鄧太太是教授。”了。實情如此，倒也罷了。若不是實情，改用同位語方式作說明，或用“鄧太太”，或用娘家姓——“李”，后接同位語說明身份。

e.g.This is Mrs.Deng,wife of Professor Deng.This is Ms.Li,wife of Professor Deng.總之，向外賓介紹我國人士要“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”。
