商务信函常用词汇.doc

5.3 Words and phrases used in the be interested in “be interested in”这一短语在日常英语中表示的是“对某事感兴趣”，但在外贸信件中，这一短语被广泛应用，并逐渐获得了一种新的含义。在不同的上下文中，很难用“对...感兴趣”这种一刀切的译法，否则，译文常常可能文理不通。 1）We would be interested in receiving your inquiries for all types of Electric Goods. 我们欢迎贵公司来函询购各种类型的电器产品。 Should you be interested(if you are interested in) in supplying(supply goods), we would be more than(very) pleased to enter into(establish) business activities with you. 如果贵公司有意供货，我方将十分乐意与贵公司建立贸易联系。 We are interested in(欢迎) your “Sea Gull” brand woman’s wrist watches and shall be glad if you should make us an offer(报盘) for 1000 pieces with details. 我们欲购贵厂海鸥牌女装手表，请报1000只详盘。 从以上三个句子可以看出，“be interested in”不仅仅表示对某事的一种“兴趣”，而且还明确的表示做某事的“意向”。当然，我们并不是说不能将“be interested in”译成“对...感兴趣”，只是提醒读者，翻译时应根据不同的上下文，恰当措辞。 Appreciate appreciate一词在外贸信件中广为应用，其基本意义为“感激”。它既可用于主动语态，也可用于被动语态，并且还有相对固定的格式，常用来表示一种委婉的请求。 1) We highly appreciate your effort in pushing the sale of our slippers. appreciate sth.通常事情已经完成 承蒙贵方大力推销我方拖鞋，不甚感激。 2) We would appreciate(please) your sending us a catalogue of your Rubber Boots together with terms of payment and the largest discount you can allow. appreciate doing没有完成，委婉的请求。 请寄橡胶鞋目录一份，并注明付款条件及最大折扣。 I would very much appreciate it if you could take our suggestion into consideration. 若对方能采取我方建议，我方将不甚感激。 4) We shall appreciate it if you will forward(please send) the following goods to the above address at your earliest convenience(as soon as possible). appreciate it if/ be appreciated 请将下列货品尽快寄至上述地址。 Your inquiries for all types of electric goods would be appreciated. =be interested in 欢迎来函询购各种类型的电器产品。 Houses in this area have all appreciated since the new road was built. 自从新路建成，该区房价扶摇直上。 Because the company has been making large profits the market value of its shares is appreciating. 该公司一直非常盈利，其股票市值正趋上升。 3. be subject to 1) The treaty is subject to ratification批准. 本条约未经批准无效。(双重否定) This contract is binding subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions. 2, 6, 7一组 本合同须满足下
