概括第一部分语言技能:1.比较(comparing)在商务英语写作中,比较是常用的一种语言手法。它使被比较对象之间的特点突出,差异分明,有利于读者对事物的判断,有利于做出正确决策。其比较形式有很多种,常见的有:1)等比等比是同等事物之间的无差别比较,可以指数量和质量上的,也可以指程度和强度上的。经常用来表示这种等比的短语有:asas,the same as,as much as, as much of as, identical with, similar to 等。否定形式的等比短语有not as soas。e.g.: Our competitor produces as many models as we do.Their price is not so competitive as yours.She may be as lucky as she hopes.2)比较级和最高级比较级和最高级是不同事物之间有差别的比较,即被比较的事物之间是有大小、多少和优劣之分的。用于这种比较的语言形式和短语有:er,est,more,less,the most, the least,better,best,thethe等。特殊形式的最高级:否定词加比较级The quality of our product is much better than that of competing ones.The bigger the project, the higher the cost. Nothing is more frustrating for a businessman than failing to meet the sales target.3)其他的比较形式这类比较形式表面上看不是比较,但实质上是比较。这类比较形式当中通常含有以下这些短语: superior to,inferior to,over,exceed,surpass 等。This kind of machine is superior to the imported one in many aspects.It is not advisable to live beyond ones means.It moves too quickly for most people to see.内部的比较:当把某一个人、事、物与所属集体的其他成员进行比较时,这种比较必须包括other或者else,否则就是自己和自己比较。Alex works harder than anyone else in the office.练习一1.把下列各题组合成完整而符合逻辑的等比句子:1)as I thought/ he is not/ he would be/ a help/ so much of/He is not so much of a help as I thought he would be.他并不像我想的那样对我们有帮助。2)the new management approach/ before/ their attitude/ the same as/ toward/ wasTheir attitude toward the new management approach was the same as before.他们对这项新的管理方法的态度和以前一样。3)running a loss/ are/ as many/ making a profit/ as/ of enterprises/ are/As many of enterprises are running a loss as are making a profit.亏损的企业和赢利的企业一样多。4)those/ of the same/ other/ we are/ developing countries/ as/ opinion/ from/We are of the same opinion as those from other developing countries.我们和其它发展中国家的观点一样。3.用所给的词、短语或句型将下列句子译成英语:1)你掌握的信息越全面准确,你就越可能做出正确的决策。(the, the)The more complete and accurate information you get, the more likely you make a right decision.4.在下面所给的词和短语中,选择一个适当的填入下列句子空格内:superior, surpassed, inferior, beyond, so that, such that, too, enough1)The gap is still too wide for the two sides to make up.2)An assistant manager is inferior in position to a manager.3)They are only superior to us in number, not in other respects.4)Anything concerning law goes beyond our control.5)The business report is easy enough for everyone to read.6)Our trading partner is so tough in the negotiation that it is unlikely to reach an agreement soon.7)The response to our financial appeal surpassed anything we expected.8)There was such a panic about the financial crisis that everybody was converting their money into the US dollar.2.因果关系经常用来表示因果关系的短语有:because of, owning to,due to,cause,lead to,result in,result from,be caused by,be attributable to等。特别需要注意的是,owning to一般用于句首,假如用在主句之后,该短语前则需要加一逗号;due to既可与be动词一起使用,也可引导一个状语。The failure of this project is due to the low reward.这个项目失败的原因是奖励太低。The American measures led to immediate reaction from the world.美国的措施引起了世界的迅即反应。Owning to our joint efforts, the transaction was successfully concluded.由于共同的努力,我们成功达成了此笔交易。Ineffective management caused /resulted in poor profits.低效的管理导致了极差的利润。The collapse of the company was caused by/resulted from a strategic mistake by the president.公司的倒闭是由于总裁的战略性错误而引起的。The delivery was delayed because of the bad weather.交货被延误的原因是恶劣的天气。Result in与 result from 的区别:result in+后果;result from+原因练习二1.现选择一合适的词或短语把下面A和B两部分连接起来。cause, be caused by, result from, result in, lead toAB1)Imprecise of referencea)unsatisfactory reportImprecise terms of reference resulted in/caused an unsatisfactory result.2)Low demandb)expensive productLow demand resulted from/ was caused by an expensive product.3)The high level of leasing c)higher level of taxationThe high level of leasing resulted from/ was caused by a higher level of taxation.4)Lack of interest in the new production pland)low staff moraleLack of interest in the new production plan resulted from/ was caused by low staff morale.5)The success of the reporte)careful planningThe success of the report resulted from/ was caused by careful planning.6)The unsuitable photocopy f)poor maintenance of equipment serviceThe unsuitable photocopy resulted from/ was caused by poor maintenance of equipment.2.选择一合适的短语将A和B两部分组合成六个既完整又符合逻辑的句子:because of, owing to, due to,A1)The training center was established2)The failure of the report was3)The training course was canceled4)Output went down5)Conditions everywhere have been seriously worsened6)Efficiency was increased7)The crops completely failedBa)difficult trading conditionsb)imprecise terms of referencec)low staff attendanced)a
