why?/why not?4 read the article from a business magazine about organisingcorporate events.● choose the best sentence from those below(a-h) to fill each of the gaps in the test.● do not use any letter more than once.● there is an example at the beginning(0)how to manage an eventhow would be an events organiser?on the face of it ,playing‘my genial host’ to a group of freeloading clients doesn’t seem too arduous a task. but the amount of stress experienced in getting ready for it and the real and ever-present danger of something going horribly wrong make it a job only for those with nerves of steel. (0)e the list is endless.corporate hospitality events should be an opportunity to relax with your customers and get away from business,but instead they actually expose a company to close scrutiny by its most valued audience and leave a lasting impression in theirminds .done well ,the client is left with the image of acreative ,fun and professional organisation. (1)______worse still ,you might offend:the company who arranged a james bond theme night that started with a group of international guests being greeted by bikini-clad ‘bond girls’ should have known better.the first consideration is what the aim of the event is :to launch a new product ,to develop awareness of the company’s mission, to build relationships with new clients or just to thank existing ones for their continued custom .(2)_______for the latter you won’t necessarily have to spend excessively to get it right ,but you willhave to think about what will make the event memorable. audience participation is generally a good way to achievethis ,for example giving a theme to the event ,such as a 1970s disco or a hawaiian evening.(3)________ it may also put some under pressure ,making them feel that they will have to dance like john travolta or to rely more on their wallet than their imagination to make their costume.(4)__________an alternative is simply to give them a treat by taking them to a show or sporting event and afterwards for a meal where they can relax and chat .(5)________ the advantage of these is that the clients are more likely to look forward to it and to share the good news with others in the wider world who may also have an interest in the event .(6)________in addition ,anything that goes wrong at the events is likely to reflect badly on the main organiser and not your company.a this will get the participants more involved and help to‘break the ice ’ if peopledon’t know each other well,but be careful.b an example of this would be a golf tournament or a football match.c the first two are more like presentations and will mean putting on a show to impress.d staff parties,on the other hand ,are much less stressful because the consequencesof failure are not so damaging.e a speaker may not turn up ,a piece of vital equipment may fail ,the invitation maygive the wrong date.f done badly ,the company may end up lookingcheesy ,disorganised or even cheap.g the result is good publicity and an enhanced image for the company.h the balance is a difficult one and it all depends on the skill of the organiser in theplanning and publicizing of the event ,so the guests feel at ease.vocabularygo and get1 complete the following sentences using the correct form ofeither go or get.0 there is always a danger that something will go wrong on the day.【篇二:新编剑桥商务英语(高级)第三版3.1】p class=txt>3.1 communication at workvocabularymean of communication1 what does this quotation mean to you?‘think like a wise man but communication in the language of the people.’w.b. yeats, poet (1865-1939)2 delete the verb that does not go with each type of business communication. 0anemailsend /draft /post1a phone calldo/make /receive2a press release put up /issue/put out3an advertising campaign launch/run /make4a presentation give /make/ tell5a meeting or seminarhold /attend /carry out6 a report produce/run/publish7a noticeput out/put up/ display8a memo to all concernedpublish/send out/circulate9information on the internet post/make/put3 for which of the following would you feel most confident using your english?

新编剑桥商务英语中级第三版答案【篇一:新编剑桥商务英语(中级)课文翻译】1、we wanna hold your hand 我们愿与你携手创业带着浓厚的经营意识,加上一些进取精神,再来瞧瞧,哈!你拥有了一家连锁店!如果想自己开店、大展身手却又苦于缺乏经验,同时又不想在这个充满风险的昙花一现的独立法人世界中立足,那么开家连锁店不失为一个明智之举。
然而你必须明白自己将从事何种性质的经营,这是至关重要的。
特许经营就是由一方(授予特许经营者)授权允许另一方(加盟特许经营者)使用其商标或商号,并使用其一揽子经营理念。
当然如果你下定决心,白手起家地单干,你随时可以从总店分离出去,另立门户,发展特许经营店。
阿齐尔说,想要设立特许经营店的新公司数目与日俱增。
“加入这个队伍的人数多得令人难以置信,他们年龄越来越小,投资越来越少,他们获得回报后进行更大的风险投资。
”如果能够募集到起步经费,开设自己的特许经营店,就为冒险家一展身手提供了理想机会2、not sold on sales相比之下,销售则意味着挨家挨户推销,进行不期而至的拜访或拨打不期而至的电话。
不过这完全是误导人的印象。
在英国,从事销售职业的人数比营销人员多出大约20万人。
其中部分原因是那些投身销售工作的人们意识到销售工作根本不像传言中说的那么可怕。
要点解析:(1) shake off its unglamorous image摆脱其乏味的形象。
shake off摆脱,例如:shake off responsibility摆脱责任。
(2) associations with something rather dishonest本意为“和某种不诚实守信的因素紧紧相联”,在这个语境中可以翻译为“与无商不奸的概念紧紧相联”。
unglamorous单调的,乏味的,例如:unglamorous environment单调的环境。
(3) retain an air of glamour 显得很风光,retain an air of 带着??的样子,例如retain an air of cheerfulness保持一种欢喜的样子。
