L/C=letter of credit[14]
This is a common sentence in the payment of business English , the “D/P at sight” is a commercial terms, should be translated as “即期跟单汇票”.
And “in favor of” is usually translated as “赞同” in daily life, but here it’s proper meaning is “以…为受益人”; while “collection” is “收取，收集” as its original meaning, and here it is “托收”——a kind of payment in import and export business.
This method can save much time when business people are
negotiating, but the disadvantage is also very obvious—for other people, sometimes they will feel confused about the meaning.
4.4 Combination of transliteration and addition
For some abbreviations, we have not the accurate Chinese translation, So we translate them by using a combination of transliteration and paraphrasing.
For example:
ST: Early accurate gene diagnosis of HD is very important. TT: 亨廷顿病的早期准确基因诊断非常重要。

Here, HD is Huntington’s disease [15]
In this sentence, Huntington’s disease is translated into 亨廷顿病, this is transliteration.
Sometimes, we translate some parts of the phrase, and keep the other parts of the original phrase since they are know-to-all.
Samples are provided in the following table:
I n these examples, the original meaning of “fingerprinting” is “指纹”,
while here is translated into “指纹鉴别术”; “Shanghai” is translated int o “上海价” instead of “上海”; “CIF” is short for “cost, insurance and freight”, while here is “CIF价”; “V” is just a letter when it is not in the phrase.
5．Conclusion
Because of their own particular characteristics and the need of our rapid-developing society, abbreviations have been revealing their vitality day by day especially in the business English. The use of large amount of abbreviations makes it
important for the study of abbreviations. Thus, we should master the rules of the using of abbreviations, and accumulate more abbreviations at the same time. The above discussion talked about the application and translation of abbreviations in business English and aims at helping more people understand and use abbreviations in a scientific and systematic way.
