自21世纪初中国加入世界贸易组织以来，我国的国际经济贸易地位不断提升，国际商务交往更加频繁。为了适应这一快速发展的形势需要，我国商务从业人员必须学习一定的商务专业英语知识，掌握实用的商务英语技能，才能更好地应对各种商务活动。 为了更好地贯彻高职高专“实用为主、够用为度、以应用为目的”的教学基本指导原则，本书在编写过程中遵循语言学习的自然规律，以学生为本位，充分发挥教师和学生的双主体作用，在互动中学习英语，在学习中强调技能，体现即学即用、快乐学习的教学理念。 本书将日常涉外商贸活动中可能涉及的英语听说知识整合为商务及外贸两大板块，共计10个单元，包括日常办公、出差、商务晚餐、谈判、订货、付款、运输、包装、投诉和保险等内容。每单元围绕一个项目选材，重点突出，层层深入，循序渐进，符合英语学习的认知规律，以基本适应高职学生的就业需求为宗旨。同时，考虑到高职学生的英语基础较为薄弱，为了增强教材的实用性，本书在结构上从词句入手，先通过一些简单的商务英语实例，使学生掌握相关话题的语言知识，再逐渐过渡到相关岗位群的专业知识。全书以“交际法”为教学理念编写主题对话，并配有大量的辅助教学材料，便于学生课后演练消化。全书内容简明丰富，密切联系商务及外贸实践，实用性和可操作性较强，有助于学生了解和掌握商务英语会话的基本知识和技巧，提高其实际应用能力。 本书由广东中山职业技术学院和浙江工贸职业技术学院具有丰富教学经验的一线教师负责编写。吕睿中和杨爱华任主编，负责全书的组稿、统稿及修正工作。陶琼、郑梅花、文保雅任副主编，参加编写的教师还有叶攀、陈荣芳、詹丽萍、陈晓燕、高田歌和商芳。在本书的编写过程中，得到了相关兄弟院校和专家的鼎力相助和指导，在此谨致谢忱。 由于编写时间仓促，书中难免有疏漏之处，敬请广大读者批评指正。

I thought we've reached an agreement on shipping the goods during October.L : You know there are many factors that might ultimately lead to the miss of the intended sailing. If something unexpected happened, we wilI take the risk of breaking the contract. That' s why we add "or November" to our contract.S : It seems to me that you can definitely make the delivery during October. If something happened unexpectedly, it must be caused by force majeure. That' s not your fault; therefore I hope you could consider rewriting this term.L: Sure, I will think about it.S: Will you make clear to me your responsibility？L: We' 11 see the goods pass over the ship' s rail and our responsibility ends there.S: And all the costs of transportation of the goods go to you, right？L: Yes, we bear all the charges until goods effectively passed the ship' s rail at the port of ship- ment. By the way, the unloading expenses are on the buyer' s account, am I right？S : Yes.L: Then I think you should state this clearly in our contract.S: OK. All right, so far we' ve reached a mutual understanding on everything concerning our re- spective responsibilities. I' m so happy to exchange idea with you on terms of shipment.L: Me too. I will send you the shipping advice as soon as the goods are on board. ……
