Background Information

As a key part in international trade, business negotiation refers to the process in which a seller and a buyer negotiate the terms and conditions on trading specified products, and finally reach an agreement. It can be done orally or in writing. Normally, it comes when the company finishes its business background check on its potential business partner. The general

procedure of business negotiation is enquiry, offer, counter-offer, and acceptance. But it should be noted that in practice not all business negotiations go through the four phases.

Task 1

Before reading the passage, see how much you know about the business negotiation by answering the following questions.

1. Have you ever heard of the general steps in business negotiations? If so, list them in time order; if not, guess what they are. Suggested Answers

I’ve heard a little bit about the steps of business negotiations in Chinese. And after discussing with Tom, we finally nail down our version of the general steps in business negotiations. The first step is to ask general information about a product. I remember it is called “enquiry”; next is to give a reply to the so-called “enquiry”, which is mainly on the product’s price; the third step is called “counter-offer”; and the last one is to reach an agreement which means one party finally accepts the other’s conditions and terms.

2. What do we need to pay close attention to in business negotiations? Suggested Answers

We think all the four steps are very important. For example, if you are a buyer and want to make an enquiry about the product you are interested in, you should state clearly the name and specifications of the product in the letter. And if you want to buy a lot, you’d better tell the seller to quote you the best price. For the seller, he should reply the enquiry as soon as possible. When quoting the price, he is strongly recommended to make it clear that the price might fluctuate, especially in a turbulent market. When receiving the seller’s offer or quotation, you might find it impossible to accept. Don’t reject it rudely or give no reply because he might be your future business partner. When drafting a counter-offer, you should give good reasons for the part you disagree with and your new

suggestions. As to the last step, “acceptance”, you’d better restate what you have agreed on to make sure there is no misunderstanding about it. It is much helpful, especially after several rounds of exchanges between you and the seller.

General Steps in Business Negotiations

Generally speaking, business negotiations involve four steps: enquiry, offer, counter-offer and acceptance.

一般来说，交易磋商包括四个步骤：询盘、报盘、还盘和接受。

The first step i s “enquiry”. When reading an advertisement in a newspaper, website or anywhere else, buyers may make requests for the information relating to their interested products like price lists, samples and terms of payment. Such a request is called “an enquiry”.

第一步是“询盘”。买方在报纸、网站或者其他地方看到一则广告后，可能会向对方索取有关自己感兴趣的商品信息，如价格表、样品、付款条件等。而这种索取信息的请求就被称为“询盘”。

After sending the enquiry, it comes to “offer”. An offer is the expression of the wish of the seller to sell particular goods under stated terms, including quantity, prices, shipment, terms of payment, etc. It usually follows an enquiry that is either written or oral.

在发出询盘后，买方就会收到“报盘”。报盘表达了卖方希望出售某种商品的条件，包括数量、价格、装运、付款条件等。它通常出现在口头的或者书面的询盘之后。

Offers can be classified into two types: firm offers and non-firm offers. A firm of fer is usually a seller’s promise to sell specified goods or services at specified prices, and valid for a specified period, with packing, payment, etc. described clearly. Once the firm offer is accepted by the buyer within the validity, the seller is not permitted to revise or withdraw his/her offer and is obliged to enter into a contract with the buyer. In contrast, a non-firm offer is actually an offer without engagement which often contains reservation clauses like “ We make you an offer subject to our final confirmation.”

报盘可以分为两大类：实盘和虚盘。实盘通常是指卖方以指定的价格、有效期、包装、付款等内容销售某种商品或服务的承诺。实盘一旦在有效期内被买方接受，卖方就不准修改或者撤回其报盘，并有义务与买方签署合同。相比之下，虚盘实际上是一个没有约言的报盘，它经常包括诸如这样的保留条款：“此发盘须经我方最终确认。”

Next step is “counter-offer”. When an offer reaches the offeree, he/she may reject it and end the negotiation if he/she finds it impossible to reach an agreement. But usually he /she will carefully study the offer, and renew the received offer by altering or adding some terms and conditions. In such a case, the reply to the offer is called “counter-offer”.

下一步是“还盘”。当报盘送达受盘人，如果发现不可能达成一致，他/她可能会拒绝，

从而终止谈判。但是通常他/她会仔细研究报盘，修改或添加一些条款和条件。在这种情况下，对报盘的回复称作“还盘”。

A counter-offer functions as both a rejection to the original offer and a new offer by the buyer. Consequently, the former offeror now becomes an offeree, and the former offeree turns to be an offeror. Normally, such exchanges might go through several rounds before a contract is signed.

还盘的作用既是对原始报盘的拒绝，又是买方提出的新报盘。因此，以前的发盘人现在变成了受盘人，而以前的受盘人变成了发盘人。通常，在最终签署合同之前，这种相互之间的交流可能要经历几个来回。

Last, we’ll discuss “acceptance”. When an offer arrives, the offeree might agree on all terms contained in the offer unconditionally, and an agreement will be reached between the two parties. In such a case, the reply to an offer is known as “acceptance”. Here, it should be n oted that the word “offer” refers to both the original offer and the counter-offer in several rounds of negotiations.

最后，我们将谈谈“接受”。当报盘到达受盘人后，他可能无条件地接受报盘中的所有条款。这样，双方就达成了一致。在这种情况下，对报盘的回复被称作“接受”。这里需要指出的是，“报盘”这个词这里既指原始的报盘，也指谈判回合中的还盘。

But the T-2009 has taken advantage of the latest technology. I’m quite sure it’s the most energy-efficient and the least noisy one. It is the newest model for the coming season.

Mr. Clark: Of course, it’s new. So we risk buying 500 pieces fo r trial sale, but your price will leave little profit for me.

郑先生：

非常感谢您给我公司发来的男款牛仔裤样品。

我们非常欣赏贵公司牛仔裤的质量和款式。但是，在仔细研究您的报价和目前市场后，我们发现您的价格似乎偏高。如果接受贵公司的报价，我们将几乎没有利润。因此，我们建议您给我公司10% 的折扣，这样就可以为我们打开您的产品销路铺平道路。

关于付款，您要求我们最少在装运前60 天开出信用证，坦率的说，那样会占用资金。因此，我可否建议我们在装运前30 天将信用证开到贵处？

经济贸易翻译常见的一些特点

经济贸易翻译常见的一些特点 外贸翻译是指为一个国家或地区与另一个国家或地区之间的商品、劳务和技术的交换活动发生的翻译行为。经济贸易活动必然会涉及语言问题，翻译作为纽带要对双方进行沟通。一般情况下，经济贸易交易的金额比较大，在语言交流中出现问题可能会损害一方或双方经济利益，所以对翻译有高素质的要求。经济贸易翻译常见的特点有哪些？阳光创译翻译简单为您分析一下： 1、经济贸易翻译要做到专业性 经济贸易翻译的译员一般都是经济贸易行业的从事人员，即便不是业内工作人员；也必须对经济贸易法典有相当程度的认识，才能灵活运用，做到恰如其分地翻译。这一点医学翻译很类似，专业性相当强。 2、经济贸易翻译要做到准确性 经济贸易翻译对准确性要求是高于其他任何一个专业翻译领域的，没有准确性；就完全失去了翻译的意义，所以准确性是经济贸易翻译的灵魂，也是最基本的要求。 3、经济贸易翻译要做到公正性 公正性是经济贸易专业人员要遵守的最为基本的原则。经济贸易翻译是经济贸易行业工作的一部分，因此公正性也应是经济贸易翻译的最为基本的原则。 4、经济贸易文件翻译标准 经济贸易文件涉及的各种文书，包括商业书信、合同、文件、产品说明书和各种单据；所以对经济贸易文件的翻译就也必须要求译者在翻译经济贸易文件时做到字字准确，句句意思平等。特别是对英文经济贸易文件中的一些介词，译者更要把其中所隐含的意思给表达出来。

译者更应该明白的是，经济贸易翻译的准确性标准，是指一种中英文经济贸易语言真实含义之间的等同，而不是一种表面上的一种意思对等。即使中英文经济贸易语言之间的表面意思完全一样，但如果真实意思不完全等同；则对于这样的翻译，译者应当完全予以舍弃，而应寻求表达其中的真实含义。 5、经济贸易翻译要做到经济贸易特点与含义 在全球经济一体化的今天，经贸英语在世界经济交往中的使用越来越广泛。了解经贸翻译的特点，熟练掌握经贸英语翻译的基本原则和翻译技巧，并在实践中不断总结经验，必将大大提高经贸英语翻译质量。在经济贸易翻译过程中，译员要特别注意英文经济贸易文件中的一些介词。虽然英语介词的数量不多，但介词是英语语言中最为活跃的词汇，不同的用法能够体现不同含义，译员必须要把其中所隐含的意思给表达出来。

经贸英语的文体特征与翻译技巧

Stylistic Characteristics of Business English and Its Translation 一．实用文体翻译是当前翻译市场的实际需求 当前本市翻译市场的实际需求主要是实用文体的三个方面: 1. 科技、生产类； 2. 经济贸易类; 3. 出国文件类。 其中以科技生产类与经济贸易类需求量为最大。以英语为主, 以笔译为主。 二、英语实用文体的特征 1. 什么是英语实用文体？ 所有语类的语篇可以归结为两大类： ①实用文体，（2）文学文体。文学语篇的职能是利用语言给人以乐趣和美的享受。而实用文体是“直接以传递信息或服务的语篇类型”（张德禄，1998：297）。 2. 英语语体的分类 美国语言学家马丁·朱斯(Martin Joos) ，提出了以下著名的五种语体: 庄重体(frozen style) 、正式体（formal style）、商洽体（consultative style）、随意体（casual style）、亲密体（intimate style）的理论。 3、英语实用文体的正式性表现 ①频繁使用术语（技术词）、半术语（半技术词）; ②普遍使用正式程度高的普通词; ③大量使用名词与名词化结构; ④大量使用长句与扩展的简单句; ⑤使用被动语态; (6)靠结构进行语篇的谋篇布局与衔接等。 1)．术语与半术语的严肃性与翻译 (1). 术语的重要性 例：“方箱机”，英文是platen press。“泡罩包装机”,英文采用blister packing machine，如果用foam来代替其中的blister就不妥。 (2). 术语的权威性与严肃性 中国国务院有“全国科学技术名词审定委员会”，负责审定有关术语。国外由相关专业协会审定。国内外均以标准文件的形式公布审定的术语。正规出版社出版的英-汉或汉-英词典是对术语标准文件的补充。不是来自纸张型正规词典的电子版与网络词典质量不如纸张型, 其中部分可靠性存疑。 (3). 专业性与半专业性术语与翻译 ①.专业性术语 只有部分术语没有同形异义与同义异形现象，同义或近义的术语不少。 例：Roentgen rays或X-rays。 例：expressway或freeway，milestone, kilometer stone 或land stone。 ②半专业性术语 英语半专业性术语的特点是： a). 同样的术语在不同行业，不同专业里或不同情况下具有不同含义。如esthetics，negotiation (negotiable) b).不同的术语在不同“变体”中表示同样含义。如cell---tank；electrode---welding rod 。 c).在不同行业里同样术语表示同样的含义，但有不同译法。如：roller

Beijing puzzle 中国贸易迷局 Jan 14th 2009 | HONG KONG From https://www.wendangku.net/doc/b49106356.html, Why is China’s trade surplus still growing when its exports have collapsed? 为何出口额大幅跌落后，中国的贸易顺差仍在增长呢？ AFP REVISED figures published this week show that in 2007 China overtook Germany to become the world’s third-biggest economy. At the start of last year China also looked set to become the world’s biggest exporter, but for 2008 as a whole its exports remained smaller than Germany’s, because of a slump in the final months of the year. China’s exports tumbled by 13% (in dollar terms), in the fourth quarter, leaving them 3% lower in December than a year earlier. Yet, despite weak exports, China’s trade surplus rose to a record $457 billion at an annual rate in the fourth quarter—50% bigger than in the same period of 2007. What is going on? 本周发布的经过修正的数据显示：中国在2007年超越德国，成为世界第三大经济体。在去年年初，中国也有望成为世界最大的出口国，但由于去年最后几个月出口额的大幅降低，整个2008年中国的出口额仍小于德国。中国出口额在去年第四季度暴降13％（以美元计算），而且其12月份的出口额甚至比上年同期降低了3％。然而，尽管出口疲软，第四季度中国的贸易顺差仍上升到创纪录的4570亿美元年化增长速度——比2007年同期增长了50％。这是怎么回事呢？ In the first half of 2008 China’s trade surplus did indeed shrink (see chart). But since then, although exports stumbled, its imports fell by much more—down by 21% in the 12 months to December (compared with over 30% growth in the first half). The slump in both exports and imports was exacerbated by the global credit freeze, which has made it harder for buyers to get letters of credit to guarantee payment. Imports were also dragged down by cheaper oil and commodity prices and weaker imports of materials and components used to make exports. Inputs for export processing account for over 50% of China’s total imports, and the sharp fall in purchases suggests that producers expect exports to weaken further.

试论经贸英语翻译的标准

第5卷第3期2006年5月 杭州师范学院学报(自然科学版) Journa l of Hangzhou Teachers C oll e ge(Na t ural Science Editi o n) Vo.l 5N o .3 M ay 2006 收稿日期:2006-05-20 作者简介:王 珍(1964-),女,浙江杭州人,浙江长征职业技术学院教师,主要从事商务英语的教学和科研。 试论经贸英语翻译的标准 王 珍 (浙江长征职业技术学院,浙江杭州310023) 摘要:经贸英语是人们从事国际经济贸易活动所使用的英语,/准确、地道0应是其翻译标准。翻译工作者除了须精通两种语言和背景文化以及翻译技巧,还应熟悉经贸知识及有关法律法规。 关键词:经贸英语;准确;地道 中图分类号:H 315.9 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1008-9403(2006)03-0258-03 1 经贸英语是一种反映各种经贸活动内容,适合商业需要的标准英文。当今的技术引进、对外贸易、招商引资、国际金融、涉外保险、海外投资、国际运输等国际经贸活动日益频繁,其所涉及的英语均属经贸英语。经贸英语源于普通英语、又以普通英语为基础,加以经贸知识的综合,因而它具有以下的独特性。1.1 正规性 经贸英语的词汇与专业密切相关,其专业词汇数量可观,且广泛采用缩略语如W TO 、FOB 等,用词较为正式、规范、礼貌。尤其是合同和法律文本英语,往往采用繁复的介词短语来代替简单的介词和连词。经贸英语句型结构通常较为复杂,句式规范,文体正式,尤其在招投标文件以及合同中使用长难句较多。长句结构复杂,负载的含义多,信息量大,逻辑性更强,从而减少了产生歧义的可能性。1.2 复杂性 经贸英语的文体非常广泛,包括各种招商简介、商务广告、进出口业务文献、电子商务文献、外贸英语应用文、备忘录、意向书、商务合同和协议书等。因此,它属于包含了广告英语、法律英语、应用文英语等功能的变体英语,相对于其他体式的英语,经贸英语较难掌握,也复杂得多。1.3 实用性 经贸英语属于实用性英语,使用系统化的语言 较多,同时使用大量的表格、商品一览表、报价单、双 语标签等。它们都受到空间的限制,其翻译也受到严格的限制。但它切合经贸活动的实际,应用频率高,实用范围广。 鉴于上述特点,经贸英语的翻译难度相对较大。综观国内外的翻译标准,从严复的/信、达、雅0,鲁迅的/宁信而不顺0,傅雷的/神似0与/形似0,到尤 金的/功能对等0原则,都强调将原文的所有信息完全转译,将语言信息、风格文体、原语文化真实地再现。结合经贸英语的语言特点,笔者认为,在翻译经贸英语时,应坚持两个标准:一是准确严谨)))译文要准确地传递原文的信息,即体现信息等值;二是地道规范)))译文的语言和行文方式都要符合经贸文献的语言规范和行文规范,尤其是术语表达更应符合经贸文献的要求。为达到以上两个标准,译者必须牢记两个/必须0:必须准确地道地翻译专业用语;必须在准确、清晰的基础上充分体现法律语言的风格。 2 国际经济贸易活动不仅涉及交易的双方,更涉及银行、保险公司、运输公司及政府有关部门如海关、商检局等等,各方所出具的文件中存在大量的专用术语,带有明显的行业特征。在翻译的过程中必须认真分析,准确把握原文词句的语言意义和专业内涵,并使用相对应的术语,以语句、语篇类型和表达模式的统一协调达到精确再现原文的目标。经贸英语中的专业用语可分三种类型:
