2016年下半年商務英語中級考試將於12月3日開考,大家備考得如何了?以下是yjbys網小編整理的關於商務英語中級閱讀高頻句型,供大家備考。

2016年12月商務英語中級閱讀高頻句型

1 . "疑問詞+should…but "結構,這個結構表示過去的意外的事,意為"none…but",可譯為"除了……還有誰會……","豈料","想不到……竟是……"等。

Who should write it but himself?

2. "who knows but (that)…"和"who could should…but"結構,這個結構是反問形式,一般意譯為"多半","亦未可知"等等,有時也可直譯。

Who knows but (that) he may go?

3. "祈使句+and"和"祈使句+or"結構,"祈使句+and"表示"If…you…","祈使名+or"表示"if…not…,you。

Add love to a house and you have a home. Aad righteousness to a  city and you have a community. Aad truth to a pile of red brick and you  have a school.

4. "名詞+and"結構,在這個結構中,名詞等於狀語從句,或表示條件,或表示時間。

A word, and he would lose his temper.

5. "as…,so…"結構,這裡的"so"的意思是"in the same way"(也是如此)。此結構表明兩個概念在程度上和關係上相似。

As rust eats iron, so care eats the heart.

6. "if any"結構,"if any"和"if ever",意思是"果真有……","即使有……",表示加強語氣。與此類似的還有:"if anything"(如有不同的話,如果稍有區別),"if a day"(=at least,至少)。

There is little, if any, hope.

7. "be it ever(never)so"和"let it be ever(never)so"結構,這裡,"be it"中的"be"是古英語假設語氣的遺留形式,現代英語則使用"let it be"。"ever so"和"never so"都表示同一意思,都表示"very"。

Be it ever so humble (let it be ever so humble), home is home.

8. "the last+不定式"和"the last +定語從詞"結構,這種結構中的"last"意思是"the least likely",用於否定性推論。可譯為"最不大可能的`","最不合適的",由原意的"最後一個……"變成"最不可能……的一個"。

He is the last man to accept a bride.

9. "so…that…"句型,這個句型的意思是"如此……,以致於……",但在翻譯成漢語時,許多情況下,並不是一定要譯成"如此……以致於……",而是變通表達其含義。

He ran so fast that nobody could catch him up.

10. "more + than+原級形容詞(副詞)"結構,這是將不同性質加以比較,其中的"more"有"rather"的意思。

It is more than probable that he will fall.

例如:

outstanding accounts:accounts that are overdue for payment (到期未付的帳)

e.g. We hope the outstanding account can be settled within this month. Otherwise, our accounting department will consider changing the conditions of payment for future orders. (我們希望你方本月能將欠帳結清,否則,我方財務部將考慮改變定單支付條件。)

debit note: a note in a form similar to an invoice but used where an invoice would not be right for the purpose. The debit note relates to charges, such as freight, extra to amounts already invoiced for goods, and is also used to correct mistakes such as an amount under-charged in an invoice. (借項通知單,指賣方通知買方更正錯誤的檔案,即:通知買方,因其錯誤而要借記(增加)買方應收賬款賬戶,向對方補收錢;與之相對的是credit note(貸項通知單)。)

e.g. We shall of course refund to you the premium upon receipt of your debit note or, if you like, you may draw on us at sight for the amount required. (一收到你們的索款通知單,我們當立即把保險費付還給你們。如果你們願意的話,也可以開即期匯票向我們收取所需金額。)

unsocial hours:time for overwork (與社交活動衝突的時間、加班的時間)

e.g. We should emphasize the large extra bonus for working in unsocial hours.(我們應當重視對額外加班發高額獎金。)flexitime system:system of flexible working hours (彈性工作制度:一種根據工作特點靈活確定上下班時間的工作制度。例如,某人每天工作的八個小時內,只有從上午十點鐘到下午三點鐘是一天中最忙的時間,那麼,經商定他可以不在正常的上午八點鐘上班,在晚些時候到公司上班;下午也不一定在規定的五點鐘下班,可以提前下班。他集中精力的工作時間(如 10:00~15:00)叫做core time,靈活的工作時間叫做flexiband)

e.g. The first item on the agenda is a discussion of the management's proposals on flexitime system.(會議安排表的第一項是討論資方提出的彈性工作制。)

living out of a suitcase: often go on business trips (經常出差在外)

e.g. My husband is a sales-manager. He is a man living out of a suitcase.(我丈夫是銷售經理,老是出差在外。)
