商務(wù)英語(yǔ)怎么學(xué):句式 [ 2007-05-06 09:33 ]
由于英語(yǔ)使用許多連接詞,所以,句式結(jié)構(gòu)比較靈活多樣。但商務(wù)英語(yǔ)屬于正式文體,因此,它有著典型的書面英語(yǔ)句法特征:句子結(jié)構(gòu)較為復(fù)雜,句式規(guī)范,文體正式,尤其在商務(wù)合同協(xié)議中更是如此。請(qǐng)看下例:
If, whether during the execution of the works or after their completion and
whether before or after the repudiation or other termination of the contract,
between the Employer and the Contractor arises any dispute in connection with,
or arising out of, the Contract or the execution of the works, including any
disagreement by either party with any action, inaction, opinion, instruction,
determination, certificate or valuation of the Engineer, the matter shall, in
the first place, be referred to the Disputes Review Board.
(無(wú)論是在工程執(zhí)行過(guò)程中,還是在工程完成以后,也無(wú)論是在放棄合同或其他終止合同之前或者之后,如果業(yè)主與承包商之間出現(xiàn)任何與合同或工程執(zhí)行有關(guān)的或因合同或工程執(zhí)行而引發(fā)的爭(zhēng)端,包括任何一方對(duì)工程師的任何行動(dòng)、不行動(dòng)、意見(jiàn)、指示、決定、證書或評(píng)價(jià)所產(chǎn)生的異議,那么該爭(zhēng)端應(yīng)首先提交爭(zhēng)端審核委員會(huì)。)
同時(shí),商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的句式結(jié)構(gòu)也趨于簡(jiǎn)短。例如: We hereby confirm... / This is to confirm... 茲確認(rèn)……
Our firm had a bad year last year.去年我公司年景不佳。 Enclosed please
find...隨函附上……,請(qǐng)查收。 I can't share your view on that.對(duì)此本人不敢茍同。
這些句型看似簡(jiǎn)單,但要做到在從事國(guó)際商務(wù)活動(dòng)中對(duì)這些常用句型信手拈來(lái)、應(yīng)用自如,也非易事。
