不仅她最新的商业公司依靠网络2.0召集会议,几乎她所有的新办公司都依靠各种网络工具来运行。
她有五位全职雇员,如今她已经非常熟练老到地使用她的博客、wiki、合作工具以及其他林林种种免费或低费用网络服务。
“网络2.0的吸引力在于,它能让小企业主找到通往市场的途径,而过去小企业主几乎没有门径。
”凯瑟琳·吉诺伊对《电子商务时报》的记者如是说。
目前,她的网络应用“组合”包括如下内容:●一个wiki,用来协调位于波士顿、衣达荷和乌克兰的程序员工作;●Basecamp,一个基于网络的项目管理工具(大约每月40美元)●Highrise,用来追踪与他人的联系与活动(与的小型网络版类似)●一组 Google(Nastag:GOOG)工具(例如, Google Docs 工作表,用于发博文的GoogleNotebook,Google AdWords 关键词搜索)有时她甚至通过Facebook和LinkedIn 与客户作交流,她也是Twitter微博和等社交网络的粉丝。
关于宠物狗的博客吉诺伊曾用网络2.0帮助过一位从事宠物狗养殖的朋友,这位朋友的生意渐渐下滑,而其竞争者熟知技术门道,他们的品牌则广为传播。
吉诺伊只不过帮朋友建了个博客,并在Google AdWords上登记了合适的关键词,朋友的生意马上兴旺起来。
吉诺伊说,她的策略并非是一时兴起、简简单单建个博客。
“任何小企业主都可以把博客用作网上营销工具,但是,要与Google AdWords结合起来才能推动访客流量的增加。
许多职场专业人士都把Google AdWords与在线服务管理结合起来,于是利润猛增。
Passage 2Mr. Liu, shall we discuss the packaging now?Sure. Since this is the first time you purchase from us, I'd like to listen to your opinion about packaging for the products.Your products should be competitive not just in price and quality, but in packaging as well. I like the packaging which is novel and attractive. Could you tell me your usual way of packaging your garments when you export them?Actually we keep making improvements in our method of packaging in order to meet the needs of keen competition in the world market. Our packaging now is wrapping each garment in a transparent plastic bag first and then packing it in a small box which is exquisitely designed. The design of packaging has our own style. Our clients from other countries respond that the packaging is very competitive in their markets. As to the blouses you would like to order, we use a polythene wrapper for each article, all ready for window display.That's good. A wrapping that catches the eye will certainly help push the sales. To get an edge over our competitors, we have to make sure the merchandise is not only of good value but also looks attractive.You have got a point here. We will see to it that the blouses appeal to the eye as well as to the purse.I'm glad to hear that. Can I have a look at a packaging model?Very sorry,.I don't have a model at hand. But you may look at the pictures of some packaging models in this catalogue.Not bad. They are really beautifully designed. But perhaps I should say that your packaging lacks a sense of expensiveness. And I think the color of your packaging really should be more eye-catching. My opinion is that the packaging should give the buyer an idea of what is packed inside.That's really a good idea. I'll pass it onto our designers and ask them to improve it.Then what about the packing for transport?For the outer packaging, we usually use corrugated cardboard boxes. They are standard export cartons. We'll pack them 10 dozen to 1 carton, gross weight around 20 kilos a carton.I'm afraid the cardboard boxes are not strong enough for such a heavy load. Could you use something stronger for the packing, say, wooden cases?If you prefer wooden cases, we shall do as you request. But a wooden case is much heavier than a carton, and you may be aware that the ocean freight is by weight but not by size. That is to say, using wooden a case will cost you more. As a matter of fact, we have improved our cartons. Our new cartons are strong enough to stand even rough handling in transit. The cartons are comparatively light and therefor easy to handle. They won't be stowed away with the heavy cargo.Maybe you are right, but the goods are to be transshipped at Chicago or New York. If the boxes are moved about on an open wharf, the dampness or rain may get into them. That would make the blouses spotted or even ruin them.No need to worry about that. The cartons lined with plastic sheets are water-proof, and as the boxes are made of cardboard, they will be handled with care.I don't want to take any chance. Besides, cartons are easy to cut open, and this increases the risk of pilferage.Tampering with cartons is easily detected. I should say that this rather discourages pilferage.Maybe so, but I'm afraid that in case of damage or pilferage, the insurance company will refuse compensation on the ground of improper packaging, or packaging unsuitable for sea voyage.But in fact, cartons are quite seaworthy. They are extensively used in our shipments to continental ports. Never are there any complaints from our clients, and such packaging has also been approved by our insurance company for W.P.N and T.P.N.D.If you could guarantee compensation in case the insurance company refuses to honor a claim for faulty packaging, we would be quite willing to accept cartons.I'm sorry, but we accept no responsibility for matters that are beyond our functions and powers. We will make sure the packaging is seaworthy, but we can't commit ourselves to being responsible for every kind of mishap.I can understand your position. Perhaps I'm asking too much.We will use wooden cases if you insist, but the charge for packaging will be considerably higher, and it also slows down delivery.Can I get back to you on this later? I'll phone our head office for the final confirmation on the matter.Please do. I'll be waiting for your reply.刘先生,我们现在谈谈包装吧?好的。

Unit 1 美国人的生活方式Background knowledgeWhy American Culture is UniqueAmerican culture is unique because it is nurtured, formed and developed under certain conditions, which are characteristically American. The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.1. Rough EnvironmentThe early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of American. The environment there was very rough but they believed the poor land could purify their mind so they chose the place along the coast. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The American frontier consisted of the relatively unsettled regions of the United States, usually found in the western part of the country. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of American.2. Ethnic DiversityThe population of the United States includes a large variety of ethnic groups coming from many races, nationalities, and religions. People refer to the United States as "melting pot "and the dominant people are British. American is made up of W ASP+MM, that is, White, Anglo Saxon, Protestants plus Middle Class and Male. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to American three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.3. Plural ReligionThe fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Christianity (基督教) is the dominant religion in American and Protestant (新教) is predominate (主导). Any individuals are equal before God and they believe they can communicate directly to God so they can share the same idea. Under the protestant, many new ones are formed and different explanations produce different sects of religion. Churches are independent and American religion is no longer religion seculars. The institution permits the practice of religion and the political power is separate form religion. So there are more religions in America than in other countries.4. Current InfluenceNowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. Many Americans live in mobile homes which are built with wheels. They can be moved. The people in American have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. The courage to try something new has been an American characteristic. American democracy means majority rule, but it also means protection of minority rights. There is certain freedom which the United States promises to all its citizens and members of minority group cannot be denied these rights by a vote of the majority. Americans also like to be involved in many challenging activities and sports to show their adventurous spirits. All of these are affected by the heritage of the American history.From the facts above, we can see American culture is unique which was cultivated, formed and developed by the main three factors, rough environment, ethnic diversity and plural religion and still is affected and determined by them now.Reading Skill Focus1.C Clue:首先,第一句话表明说话人对于后面发生的事情感到非常惊讶。

Passage 1I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to visit your company. Just before I left my country, I learned from a newspaper that China's foreign trade has developed remarkably and exports have increased by a big margin this year. Now china has joined the WTO, I'm sure that you have bright prospects. I'm here to discuss with you the possibility of placing your products in our market.Thank you. I think you'll stand a chance of marketing our goods profitably there. As a matter of fact, the export of our products last year reached a record high and we are trying hard to further improve the quality and design to suint the international market. I'm sure you have seen the exhibits in the showroom. What is it in particular you are interested in?Yes, I have. I'm interested in your garments and embroidered tablecloths. We had an opportunity last evening to review your well-illustrated catalogues. I've seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of your items will find a ready market in our country. Here's a list of requirements. I'd like to have your lowest quotations.Thank you for your inquiry. But could you give us a rough idea of the quantity you require so that we can work out the offer? You know, the price varies according to the quantity.OK, I'll do that. Could you give me an indication of the price?Here's the price list.Our prices compare very favorably with those offered by other suppliers. You'll see that from the price list. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation, naturally.Do you quote CIF or FOB?All our prices in the list are on a FOB basis.To tell you the truth, we are greatly surprised at your price. We had expected much lower prices.This year's prices are higher than last year's, but our prices are still very competitive. I don't think you stand a chance of getting better price elsewhere.I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I can show you other quotations that are lower than yours.When you compare the prices, you must take everything into consideration. Our products are of high quality, while the quotations you get from other sources are for goods of ordinary quality.I agree with you on this point. I grant that yours are of better quality. But still we don't think we can succeed in persuading our clients to buy at such high prices.If I were you, I wouldn't worry about that. Taking everything into consideration, I can assure you that the prices we offer are very favorable. I don't think you'll have any difficulty in pushing sales.Well, maybe... But it really depends on the price. Is there any commission included in your prices?As a rule, we don't allow any commission. But if the order is a sizable one, we'll consider it.You see, I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even 1 to 2 percent would help.We'll discuss this when you place your order with us.有机会拜访贵公司,我深感荣幸。
Requirements:Unit 1Section I An Introduction to InterpretationA.The Evolution of Interpretation自从使用不同语言的人们开始交往以来,为了便于互相沟通、相互交流,就出现了口译。
口译的历史源远流长,可以追溯到公元前2000多年的古埃及王国时期的爱尔分汀(Elephantine)。
到了14世纪初,法国法学家皮埃尔.杜布瓦(Pierre Dubois)派遣新世界(New World)的印第安人去西班牙学习语言以成为译员。
口译成为一种职业始于第一次世界大战末期,也就是法语在外交界失去垄断地位、英语和法语同时在国际会议上并用的时候。
1919年象征第一次世界大战结束的“谈判翻译”产生了。
第二次大战以后,战胜国成立了纽伦堡国际法庭,审判纳粹战犯,传统的交替传译速度太慢,无法胜任这项任务。
在加快审判进程的背景下,同声传译在纽伦堡审判(the Nuremberg Trials)中诞生了。
B.The Definition of Interpretation口译是将听到或读到的一种语言[源语(source language)]即兴地以另一种语言[目标语(target language)]来表述。
它是人类在跨语言、跨文化的交往中不可或缺的交际工具。
担任口译工作任务的人被成为译员,他们的具体任务是聆听与会者用某种语言讲话,在讲话刚一结束或者在进行之中立即用另一种语言把讲话内容口译出来。
口译的成果是一席讲话。
口译在大多数人看来只不过是一种简单的语言交换或转换,无需任何创造性。
其实,源语作为发言人的言语产物,有其独特的语意、风格等特征。
在口译过程中,译员要力求做到把这种特质以另一种语言构建出来,大到整体的连贯流畅,小到细节的不折不扣。
在整个口译过程中,译员不仅要打破语言层面的障碍,而且还不能忽略语言所依赖以生成的“文化语境”,忠实地表达发言人的思想。
