实用外贸英语函电教程-廖瑛主编(参考答案)
I. Comprehension questions.1. Generally speaking, practical English writings can be classified into eight kinds: letters, commercial documents, etiquette documents, contract or deed, informative and revelational documents, bills and vouchers, documents for meeting affairs, etc.2. The special commercial documents include quotation sheets, letters of credit, certificate of entrustment, letters of intent, letters of complaint, letters of claims, etc.3. Etiquette documents can be divided into congratulatory documents and condolatory documents.4. Contract or deed includes intention agreement, sales confirmation, agency agreement, contract cultural exchange agreement, letter of appointment, stipulation of agreement.5. Informative and revelational documents are used to inform the public of sth. or to bring sth. into a public notice.6. Expository writing is used to explain or illustrate something. For example, the instruction is used to explain the properties, quality and model of a products;caption is used to illustrate the film. Trademark is used to mark the brand of a product.7. Some stipulations of agreement, such as joint communiqué, joint statement, joint pledge, contract, etc. have the function of stipulation, which means that these documents are binding on every sides signed, and that the side who breaks the terms bear political, economical or moral responsibility.8. It means that to almost all the practical English writings, the first function is to inform or to remind the counterpart or the public of a certain thing or public affair. Besides expository writing has explanatory function. In a word; the so-called “Function of Information and Understanding” is to inform somebody of something and let him or her to act as the practical English writing told.9. The Function of voucher is the function of evidence. All the documents to external association almost have function of voucher. Especially all kinds of contracts, agreements, certificates, orders, letters of credit, bills, receipts, I.O.U., shipping documents, letters of introduction, letters of reservation, welding certificate,etc., have obvious function of vouchers.10. In order to write the practical English writings, the author should have a good command of standard modern English, all kinds of social knowledge, knowledge of technical terms, knowledge of social psychology and knowledge of various profession, such as secretary, management, business theory and practice, etc.11. Because practical English writing has its specific language style, that is, the essential language characteristics which are called the seven Cs: completeness, concreteness, clearness, conciseness, courtesy, consideration and correctness.12. Because a practical English writing is successful and functions well only when it contains all the necessary information to the readers, and answers all the questions and requirements put forward by the readers. The so-called “completeness” is to see to it that all the matters are stated or discussed, all the questions are answered or explained, and all information are provided.13. In a general and vague message, everything seemsto be mentioned, but actually, few are fully expounded. The readers only have a vague impression of what you try to achieve, so he or she is at a loss how to react upon reading your message. Especially for contracts, agreements, announcements notices, found, poster, advertisements and business letters calling for specific reply, as offer, inquiring trade terms, etc., the “concreteness” must be always stressed as the general or vague message will cause unnecessary troubles and disputes.14. The so-called “clearness” is to make sure what you write is so clear that it can’t be misunderstood. As a writer, you should have a concrete idea in your mind of what you are going to achieve. Only a clear mind can express clearly. In order to make what you write clear, you should pay attention to choose the concise and straight-forward expressions and try to avoid using the words and sentences equivocal in meaning; pay attention to the position of the modifier; pay attention to the object of the pronoun and the relations between the relative pronoun and the antecedent; pay attention to rationality in logic, the variety in the sentencestructure, the compact in plot and coherence in meaning; pay attention to the logicality of the fall text.15. “Conciseness” means you should clearly express what you need to do in a short and pithy style of writing as possible as you can without sacrificing completeness, concreteness and courtesy.16. The definition of the “You-attitude” is to put yourself in the position of the recipient and take into consideration his demand, hope, interests and so on. 17. Because a letter expressed in the way of refined and courteous urbane can make yourself set up an honest and enthusiastic image with good artistic appreciation and professional ethics in the eyes of the readers who will be glad to cooperate with you and serve you wholeheartedly.18. If the sentence is rewritten like this: We assure you that the goods will be shipped by July 20, it will be better, because it explains the problem in a positive way.19. Correctness refers much more than that of grammar, punctuation and spelling of words, which are the basic elements. The writer should also bear in mind thefollowing: 1) choose the only accurate facts, words and figures; 2) take a matter-of-matter attitude to clearly state what you will say. Don’t over-state or understate; 3) pay attention to the correct understanding and using the commercial terms and jargons.20. Because if the practical English writings for international business is not correct, they may be misunderstood and even go astray. Practical English writings for international business, especially, business letters often are bases for various commercial documents such as contracts and agreements, so they are concerned with the rights, obligation, etc. of the both sides of a trade, the fact of which must call special attention from writers.II. Rewrite the following sentences and make them correct, positive and polite.1. For the past two years, no order has been given to us.2. We are afraid we can’t comply with your request.3. Would you please compare our goods with those of other firms?4. We hope you will effect a full settlement of our claim.5. We would like to make it clear that for furthertransaction, D/P will only be acceptable if the amount involved for each transaction is not up to U.S. $1 000 or its equivalent in RMB at the conversion rate than prevailing.6. We regret to inform you that the goods shipped by SS East Wind arrived in such an unsatisfactory condition that we can not take delivery, but lodge a claim with you.7. We request your immediate payment.8. We presume that there must be some reason for your having trouble with this article.9. We gladly refund when the returned items are clean and resalable.III. Compare the two letters, you will find Letter B is written in positive way. Then try to translate them into Chinese.Letter A译文：我们收到了你们9月21日关于来自西非和东南亚顾客对硫铵的询价信。

However，the “Non-negotiable instrument” is treated still as a negotiable instrument so far as its form permits. Since it lacks of negotiability，there can be no holder in due course of such an instrument. Any provision of any selection of the UCC—Commercial Paper peculiar to a holder in due course cannot apply to it. With this exception，such instruments are covered by all sections of the Article 3 of UCC.翻译：虽然中国已经颁布了票据法，但了解一下统一商法法典——美国商业票据的第三款仍是有用的。
