秘书英语-(第二版)

版前言
    《秘书英语》一书自2003年作为普通高等教育“十五”国家级规划教材出版以来，在不少学校
的教学中被采用，我们对此深感荣幸。2005年底，我们又以该书第二版的名义申报了普通高等
教育“十一五”国家级规划教材选题，并于2006年评审通过纳入规划，这让我们又一次感到责任
重大。为了在第二版时修订好这本教材，我们仔细分析了**版存在的不足，征求了一些读者的
意见，并在宏观上深入把握近几年来教育部对高职高专教育改革和发展的若干指示精神，尤其是
严格遵循教育部关于普通高等教育“十一五”国家级规划教材建设的指导意见，按照与时俱进的
原则，进行了认真细致的修订工作。具体的修订措施如下：
    1．增加了关于国际贸易和办公室管理工作两个单元，使学习内容更加全面。
    2．添加了相关插图，使教材图文并茂，形式更加新颖。    
    3．修改了课文形式，提供了完整的学习内容。
    4．修改了练习形式，补充了一些内容，使学习更加有的放矢，学以致用。
    5．开发了多媒体学习光盘，学生可以以此为平台，进行听、说训练和拓展学习，使学习过程声
文并茂。
    6．开发了专供教师使用的电子版教师用书，在其中对各单元学习提出了具体的教学要求，增
加了背景知识和课前提问，为教师备课、授课提供了方便。
    7．开发了与主教材配套的网络教材，使各单元教学和学习内容更加丰富、完善，使课堂教学
和在线学习效绩互补，相得益彰。
    8．为使我国秘书专业学生的专业知识和技能与国际接轨，知己知彼，特在附录中增添了《剑
桥国际考试·剑桥秘书技能执业证书·沟通和项目管理2级和办公室管理2级考试样卷(中英
文)》。
    本次修订后的《秘书英语》不再是单一的一本教材，而是一个“教学包”，由主教材、多媒体学
习光盘、电子版教师用书和网络教材四部分组成。

How Does a Secretary Deal with SDeeches?
Interpreting at a Banquet
Study the speeches and imitate the recording of them in the disc attached to the book and
play the role of the speakers to make the same speeches.
Speech 1
(Mr. Ling Yun is giving a formal welcoming speech at the dinner table. Zhang Yi is interpreting for
him. )
De.ar Mr. Jones and my dear colleagues:
     We are very happy to have Mr. Jones and his party here with us
tonight.
     Confucius once said, "What a joy it is to have friends coming from
afar!" Mr. Jones is an old friend of ours. He and his party come from the
other side of the earth, so our joy tonight is beyond expression.
     Mr. Jones is a pioneer in U.S. trade with China. He was among
the first American businessmen who came to China right after Ping
Pang Diplomacy in the mid-70s, last century. Since then, we've signed
seventeen contracts with Pacific Trade Company. We've developed a mutually beneficial and therefore
very solid relationship. And we're very proud of this. As our present contract is expiring next month,
we're very pleased to have you here to work with us on a new contract.
     I firmly believe that through our mutual efforts, the new contract will further strengthen the ties
between our two companies and make both of us more prosperous.
     Our negotiation will begin the day after tomorrow.
     I'd like to take this opportunity to propose a toast to the success of the negotiations, and to the
prosperity of our two companies.
     Bottoms up!
 Speech 2
(Mr. Jones is giving a speech in response to the welcoming speech Mr. Ling Yun has just made. Zhang
Yi is the interpreter.)
Dear Mr. Ling, friends, and colleagues:
    Thank you very much, Mr. Ling, for all the good things you said about Pacific Trade Company
and me.
    Doing business with Oriental Trade Company is one of the most enjoyable experiences of my
life. Twenty years ago, I was told that the most trustworthy people in the world are Chinese. So I came
to China.
    Now, I find you are not only trustworthy but also full of new ideas. You are willing to explore
every possibility for new business. So, I already regret that during this visit, we have only one new
contract to work on.
    Why not ten? A hundred? (All laugh)
    I'm serious. (All laugh more loudly)
    Well, joking aside. I'm really excited at the new opportunities your economic reforms have
offered us. Like you, we'll explore every new possibility to expand our relationship and contribute
more to your modernization.
    Now, may ! propose a toast.
    Here is to the success of our negotiations,
    to the continuation of our friendship,
     and to the success of your great reforms.                              ~
     Cheers!
