商务英语专业词汇

“折扣”还是“贴现”商务英语中有一些使用十分频繁的词汇，它们在不同的语境下意思也有很大不同。

上次我们讲了floating，这次我们来讲讲discount这个词。

例一：You can get a 5% discount if you order on a regular basis.如果你方定期给我方下定单，你方便可得到5% 的折扣。

例二：If a seller extends credit to a time draft, they have made a trade acceptance. The seller can request the bank finance the transaction by buying the draft. The bank will discount.如卖方开出的是远期汇票，以此向买方提供信用，此时就做了一笔商业汇票承兑业务。

卖方可以请银行买下商业承兑汇票，银行用这个办法对出口商融资，也就是说，银行对该汇票贴现了。

注解：discount 在这两句话中的意思一个是折扣，另一个是贴现。

折扣是指商品在原价的基础上按百分比降价，贴现则是指未到期的票据向银行融资，银行扣取自买进日至到期日的利息，并收取一定的手续费后，将余下的票面金额付给持票人。
