商务英语中常见误译解析
商务英语是以适应职场生活的语言要求为目的,内容涉及到商务活动的方方面面。下面是小编帮大家整理的商务英语中常见误译解析,欢迎阅读与收藏。
例一:confirm
We'd like to inform you that our counter sample will be sent to you by DHL by the end of this week and please confirm it ASAP so that we can start our mass production.
Payment will be made by 100% confirmed, irrevocable Letter of Credit available by sight draft
译文:
很高兴通知您,我们的回样将于本周末用特快专递给您,请尽快确认,以便我们开始大批生产。
付款方式为 1O0% 即期,保兑,不可撤消信用证。
注解:
confirmed 一词在这两句话的意思也不一样。在第一个句子中,confirm 的意思是“确认”。在第二个句子中,confirmed L/C 应翻译为“保兑信用证”,即指一家银行所开的由另一家银行保证兑付的一种银行信用证。
例二:negotiable
Part time barman required.Hours and salary negotiable.
This Bill of Lading is issued in a negotiable form, so it shall constitute title to the goods and the holder, by endorsement of this B/L.
译文:
招聘兼职酒店保安,工作时间和薪水面议。
所签发的提单可为转让的,故只要在提单上背书, 便确定了货物和持票人的所有权。
注解:
在第一句话中,negotiable 的意思是“可商议的'”,在第二句话中的意思则是“可转让的”,“可转让提单”经过背书后即可将所有权转让给他人,值得注意的是,negotiating bank 则是议付银行,即购买或贴现汇票的银行。

Ⅲ.课文篇
Technology always changes to bring us things to make life faster and easier. WAP is new technology for your mobile phone. With a WAP phone you can check your email and visit your favorite Internet sites using your mobile phone. If you use WAP for your email or surfing the Internet, the call charges are usually higher than a normal phone call. Email can be hard to read on your mobile phone because the screen is so small and your favorite websites will not have any pictures - just the words.
技术的不断更新带来很多新事物让我们的生活节奏变得更快更方便。WAP是为手机设计的新技术。手机上装了WAP就可以查电子邮件和访问你最喜欢的网站。如果你用WAP接发电子邮件和上网,你的手机费用通常要比普通的手机费要高。在手机上读电子邮件很困难因为屏幕太小,而且你也看不到你喜欢的网站的画面,只能读到文字。
