高级综合商务英语unit4课文翻译

今年1月,史蒂夫•乔布斯(Steve Jobs)走上旧金山芳草地艺术中心(Yerba Buena Center)的舞台发布iPad,完成了现代商业史上最引人注目的一次复出。

这不仅仅关乎半年前迫使他退居幕后的疾病。

病魔一度令乔布斯严重消瘦,最终不得不进行肝脏移植手术。

而就在十多年前,几乎所有人认为乔布斯的事业及其共同创立的苹果公司(Apple)已经走上绝路。

硅谷和华尔街都断定,它们已经与科技的未来无缘。

然而,到了今年初,苹果已然重生。

在1月份的发布会之前,即使是按照乔布斯自己的苛刻标准衡量,外界对苹果的期望程度也是异乎寻常的。

批评者总是用贬抑的口吻谈论乔布斯创造的“现实扭曲场”:他能让观众信服,那些在其他厂商手中似乎尚未成形的技术已经被苹果完美地应用。

为了激起消费者购买他们自己也不知道是否真正需要的电子产品的欲望,打消他们的疑虑极其关键,而乔布斯则早就被公认为这种艺术形式的大师。

这不仅仅关乎半年前迫使他退居幕后的疾病。

病魔一度令乔布斯严重消瘦,最终不得不进行肝脏移植手术。

而就在十多年前,几乎所有人认为乔布斯的事业及其共同创立的苹果公司(Apple)已经走上绝路。

硅谷和华尔街都断定,它们已经与科技的未来无缘。

对于F•斯科特•菲茨杰拉德(F. Scott Fitzgerald)广为流传的名言(美国人的生命中没有第二幕)而言,没有比这更坚决的反驳了。

乔布斯首次登上报纸头条时,甚至比现在的马克•扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)还要年轻。

早在书呆子备受追捧之前,由于在普及个人电脑(PC)中发挥的关键作用,以及苹果在华尔街的成功上市(当时乔布斯年仅25岁),乔布斯就成为了科技界的第一个摇滚明星。

如今,三十年过去了,乔布斯成为了在塑造世纪之交的世界中居功至伟的美国西海岸的几大科技巨头之一。

他的老对手比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)或许更富有,而且在盖茨的事业巅峰时期,凭借其在PC软件领域的垄断,可以说盖茨的影响力比乔布斯更大。

商务英语uni4译文及答案

商务英语uni4译文及答案

Unit 4 Transnational EnterprisesText A 跨国公司概述在20世纪后期,国际商务已经成为重要的经济力量了。

当今,几乎没有国家在经济上是自给自足的。

在许多国家,国际商务已经触与到人们的日常生活。

如果国际商务是跨越国境实施商务的过程,那么跨国公司就是这一活动的主要参与者。

跨国公司是世界上最大的经济机构之一。

粗略的估计表明300家最大的跨国公司拥有,或者控制着全世界生产性资产的四分之一,价值约5万亿美元。

跨国公司年销售总额相当于甚至大于大多数国家的国内生产总值〔GDP〕。

跨国公司对社会发展的影响如下:1.经济增长跨国公司通过其经济活动潜在的推动社会经济增长。

事实表明,跨国公司的直接投资和资本往来可明显地促进东道国的经济增长。

例如,在过去的10年里,在匈牙利登记的国际直接投资推进了国家经济现代化进程,促进了生产力增长和重建。

虽然理论上跨国公司可以通过经济增长促进整个社会的进步,但事实上这种关系并不多见,其理由有二:其一,跨国公司是否对东道国的经济增长负有责任,这一点并不明确。

特别是发展中国家开始关注其主要产业对国际投资的依赖程度。

他们开始意识到国外分公司经常把其利润转向国外而不是在发展中国家再投资,而且跨国公司输入重要产品和服务,带给母国更多的利润从而实际上阻碍了东道国企业的发展。

其二,即使跨国公司的行为促进了东道国经济的发展,但经济发展与社会发展之间的关系是脆弱的。

虽然全球经济每年都在增长,但这种增长实际上难以解决贫困,失业等社会问题。

劳动力问题在日本是一个很严重的问题,有5.3%的失业率,国际直接投资听起来是增长生产力,但似乎也意味着更多的失业。

许多公司也深信直接投资更大程度上是一种重组而不是提供更多就业岗位。

2.技术转移跨国公司可以通过技术转移间接地推动东道国的社会进步。

技术转移有多种形式,包括硬件,如机器设备,软件,如产品和过程设计,管理培训,市场营销与质量控制技术。

Unit 4 Export Procedures and Documentation
5 Goods should be well-packed and clearly marked
so that they are not easily crushed or lost in transit. But even when these simple precautions are taken, accidents can happen. Apart from the risk of fire or leakage there is always the threat of pilferage. The vessel carrying the goods may sink or be badly damaged so that some goods have to be thrown overboard. Your goods may be among them. It is vital that an exporter understands and uses insurance so that these risks are minimized and he can recoup at least some of his losses.
