商务英语中经常犯的5个错误
<p><span word="Personal">Personal</span> <span word="vs">vs</span>. <span word="Personnel">Personnel</span></p><p>密切注意这些单词的拼写和重音！"<span word="Personnel">Personnel</span>"是个名词意思是公司的职员。例如"<span word="Our">Our</span> <span word="company">company</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="best">best</span> <span word="personnel">personnel</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="industry">industry</span>."重音落在单词的末尾。"<span word="Personal">Personal</span>"是个形容词意思是私人或是个人。"<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="requesting">requesting</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="day">day</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="annual">annual</span> <span word="leave">leave</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="personal">personal</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span>."重音容落在单词的开头。如果你不仔细，你就可能说成"<span word="personal">personal</span> <span word="meeting">meeting</span>"而不是"<span word="personnel">personnel</span> <span word="meeting">meeting</span>."</p><p><span word="Executive">Executive</span></p><p>"<span word="executive">executive</span>"是公司的管理人员。如果你正在向访客或是客户介绍你公司的高层<span word="executives">executives</span>，那就要注意单词的发音喽！如果你将重音落在 "<span word="u">u</span>"上，那么"<span word="executive">executive</span>"马上就听起来象"<span word="execute">execute</span>" - 将某人杀死或判死刑。</p><p><span word="Present">Present</span>? <span word="Presentate">Presentate</span>? <span word="Presentation">Presentation</span>?</p><p>当你作<span word="presentation">presentation</span>时<span word="present">present</span>信息。<span word="Present">Present</span>是个动词意思是将某物呈现给别人。<span word="presentation">presentation</span>是常在商务中推出新信息时使用的一种形式。许多人－就算是一些英语(论坛)的本土人士－认为"<span word="presentate">presentate</span>"是 "<span word="presentation">presentation</span>."的动词形式。不要犯同样的错误！</p><p>"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="forward">forward</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="hearing">hearing</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="you">you</span>."</p><p>这个短语通常用于商务信件中。但是学习英语者常写成，"<span word="I">I</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="forward">forward</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="hear">hear</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="you">you</span>."这不正确并且让英语本土人士听起来有些滑稽。动词 "<span word="hear">hear</span>"在这个短语中总是要有"<span word="ing">ing</span>"的。</p><p><span word="Headquarters">Headquarters</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Information">Information</span></p><p>许多的英语学习者把"<span word="headquarters">headquarters</span>"这个单词的"<span word="s">s</span>"漏掉而在"<span word="information">information</span>"后加上了"<span word="s">s</span>"。<span word="Headquarters">Headquarters</span>是个单数名词意思是公司的总部："<span word="I">I</span>'<span word="m">m</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="headquarters">headquarters</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="weekend">weekend</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="meet">meet</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="CEO">CEO</span>." <span word="Headquarters">Headquarters</span>是个微妙的单词因为它是以"<span word="s">s</span>"结尾的。看起来象是个复数名词！但是漏掉"<span word="s">s</span>"会把<span word="headquarters">headquarters</span>变成个动词，"<span word="to">to</span> <span word="headquarter">headquarter</span>."</p>
