International Trade

International trade leads to more efficient and increased world production, thus allowing countries(and individuals)to consume a larger and more diverse bundle of goods.A nation possessing limited natural resources is able to produce and consume more than it otherwise could.The establishment of international trade expands the number of potential markets in which a country can sell its goods.The increased international demand for goods translates into greater production and more extensive1

use of raw materials and labor, which in turn leads to growth in domestic employment.Competition from international trade can also force domestic firms to become more efficient through modernization and innovation.Within each economy, the importance of foreign trade varies.Some nations export only to expand their domestic market or to aid economically depressed sectors within the home economy.Other nations depend on trade for a large part of their national income and to supply goods for domestic consumption.In recent years foreign trade has also been viewed as a means to promote growth within a nation’s economy;developing countries and international organizations have increasingly emphasized such trade.How to achieve a promising future in foreign trade business?

第三篇：外貿英語函電實訓報告

外貿英語函電實訓報告

實訓時間：2010.06.22

實訓地點：教學樓2202

實訓指導老師：李**

實訓內容：1通過對函電業務的實訓，初步掌握函電的寫作技巧，掌握函電的常用術語和寫作模板。2熟悉外貿英語函電的語言特點：7個Ccourtesy(禮貌)consideration(體貼)completeness(內容完整)clarity(表達清晰)conciseness(內容簡潔)

concreteness(具體)correctness(正確,準確)

實訓目的：通過大量的案例、實例，系統的了解外貿業務活動中各種商務英語的格式與結構、寫作特點、專業術語、常用專業詞匯、相關句型和常見表達方式等，通過實例，能舉一反三，學以致用，從而提高外貿英語水平，熟練掌握外貿業務中常用的英語基本術語、表達技巧與技能。

實訓心得：為期一周的外貿英語實訓，每天的課程夠安排的非常充實，無論是老師還是學生都是按部就班，老師的細心，耐心，專心指導，同學們表現出來的對知識的渴望和積極汲取，師生配合得相當默契，課堂氣氛也相當融洽。

通過大量的案例、實例，系統的了解外貿業務活動中各種商務英語的格式與結構、寫作特點、專業術語、常用專業詞匯、相關句型和常見表達方式等，通過實例，能舉一反三，學以致用，從而提高外貿英語水平，熟練掌握外貿業務中常用的英語基本術語、表達技巧與技能。，深入體會何為七個“C'S”[Completness完整Conciseness簡練

Consideration得體Concreteness具體Clarty清楚Courtesy謙恭Correctness正確]等等寫作的基礎理論知識，更重要的是通過學習信例，熟悉大量外貿業務中各個環節中常用語，包括詞匯、短語、句型以及習慣表達方式等等，再通過一定量的練習，對常用語進行操練運用，從而達到掌握并熟練使用的目的。

學習信例。俗語說，“熟讀唐詩三百首，不會吟詩也會偷”。這說明了一個從量變到質變的過程。學習《外貿函電》的道理也一樣。《外貿函電》是一門講述專門用途語言課程，它有別于一般性的語言。盡管當今外貿函電的語言趨于簡單化，口語化，但畢竟專業性很強，有一定的格式。從許許多多具有代表性的信例中，我們可以總結出：外貿業務書信的開頭句子

通常是：

（1）介紹性的，告訴對方什么誘惑你寫封信，你寫這封信的目的是什么。例如：

We have been looking for a reliable manufacturer to supply us with cotton ladies's dress on a regular basis.recently from the advertisement in “China Daily” we have learned that you are a firm who is engaged in import and export business and believe that you can meet our requirements.（2）或者是談及對方某日期的來信來電等。例如：

In response to your letter of February 24 enquiring forour cotton ladies' dress, we have the pleasure of enclosing our Quotation Sheet No.TEX1346 foryour consideration.結尾句子或段落往往是用來表達寫信人的期望，因而結尾句子要具體，說明你的請求等。例如：we are looking forward to your favoufable reply.Your prompt attention to our order will be much appreciated.此外，就同一業務環節選擇具有代表性的信函進行系統性的學習，正確理解其內容，體會它們的語言風格和寫作技巧，對同一意思而不同意思而不同表達方式所收到的效果進行比較，我們學習外貿函電就能從量變到質變了。

練習掌握。《外貿函電》是一門模仿性、實踐性、操作性都很強的課程，不通過練習實踐，很難加深認識，鞏固所學知識。只有進行大量的有針對性的反復操練，尤其是外貿業務各個環節設計特定情景進行反復操作，進行大量填空、填詞、選擇題、句子翻譯和中譯英信件的翻譯等各種類型的練習，我們才能熟練掌握運用外貿業務這些常用的句型、詞匯和短語以達到能夠正確翻譯并能擬寫同類信函的目的。

總之，這一次的實訓，讓我了解到的不僅是一些理論知識的重要性，同時，作為一名外貿函電的從業人員更應該具有膽大細心，誠信智慧等品質，往往一個小錯誤，小細節將影響一筆很大的業務收入，甚至是企業和自己的發展前途。

How to Convert an Inquiries into Firm Orders

A buyer who is already familiar with the price and other terms may submit a formal order for a specified quantity of goods at a stated price.If the seller agrees with the specifications in the order and thinks he can comply with all the provisions, he may send a written and signed order acknowledgement.So, a sakes contract may come into existence as the result of an order by a buyer or an offer by a seller.1.Speed A quick response will show the customer that you are keen and efficient.But the customer has probably sent similar enquiry to other companies as well and they may be nearer to the customer than you.So speed is essential if your want to get the order.If there is any delay in sending your reply, you may lose the business opportunity.2.Clarity All your correspondence and other written materials must be sent with completeness, precision and clarity, and are made out in the manner1

AddressingEnvelopes

When you write a letter, you must not only pay attention to the inside lay-out, but also that of the envelope.Business envelopes ordinarily have the return address printed in the upper left corner.The receiver’s name and address should be typed about half way down the envelope.The postmark or stamps should be placed in the up right-hand corner, while the bottom left-hand corner is for post notations such as “Confidential”, “Secret”, “printed matter”, etc.In addition, it is important to include the postcode(zip code in the U.S.A.)in order to facilitate mail-sorting.Goldwell Banker real Estate ConsultSTAMP
