2010商務(wù)英語BEC中級(jí)寫作實(shí)例解析
隨著中國人學(xué)習(xí)英語風(fēng)潮的持續(xù)升溫,擁有日常英語交流能力已經(jīng)變得不足為奇,未來在就業(yè)市場(chǎng)上走俏的將是職業(yè)英語,即能夠用英語交流工作中的問題,比如和外國同事討論公司的市場(chǎng)營銷策略或者代表公司和外國公司接洽等。但是目前絕大多數(shù)學(xué)生和職場(chǎng)新人對(duì)于商業(yè)英語非常陌生。筆者認(rèn)為,備考劍橋商務(wù)英語證書(Business English Certificate,簡稱BEC)是有志躋身于商業(yè)職場(chǎng)的人士熟悉商業(yè)場(chǎng)景、學(xué)習(xí)商業(yè)英語的最佳方法。
BEC考試的顯著特點(diǎn)就是把商業(yè)實(shí)際和英語運(yùn)用結(jié)合起來,分成初、中、高三級(jí)(BEC Preliminary, BEC Vantage, BEC Higher),其中BEC中級(jí)最符合廣大考生的求職需求。BEC中級(jí)考試分成聽、說、讀、寫四項(xiàng)考查,各占總成績1/4,其中寫作部分與聽、說、讀相比,因其考查形式固定,內(nèi)容要求有限,因而最易得高分。寫作部分包含兩個(gè)部分:Part One, 備忘錄或電子郵件(Memo or Email),占寫作成績的1/3;Part Two, 商務(wù)信件、報(bào)告或提議(Letter, Report or Proposal),占寫作成績的2/3。兩部分相比,Part One要求簡單,較之Part Two更容易提高,本文以《劍橋BEC真題集(中級(jí))第二輯》的Test Two, Part One為例,詳細(xì)分析Part One的寫作流程,并在最后給出BEC寫作的復(fù)習(xí)資料。樣 題
You are the Managing Director of a company whose profits have recently increased and you would like to reward staff for this.Write a memo to all staff:
Thanking them for their contribution
Explaining why profits increased
Telling them what their reward will be.Write 40~50 words
題目解讀
BEC中級(jí)寫作考試總時(shí)長 為45分鐘,根據(jù)詞數(shù)要求和分值,通常小作文寫作不超過15分鐘。應(yīng)試創(chuàng)作可分成以下三步:1.審題構(gòu)思Read & Plan(3 mins);2.寫作Write(10 mins);3.檢查Check(2 mins)。
Part One的題目背景通常是一事、兩人、三要點(diǎn)。本題中,最近公司利潤增長,“你”作為公司的董事總經(jīng)理(Managing Director)將對(duì)全體員工(all staff)進(jìn)行獎(jiǎng)勵(lì),備忘錄的內(nèi)容需包括三個(gè)要點(diǎn):感謝員工的貢獻(xiàn),解釋利潤增長原因,并告之獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)內(nèi)容。正文詞數(shù)要求為40~50個(gè)詞,因?yàn)樯虅?wù)英語要求簡潔,詞數(shù)要求有上限,這和四、六級(jí)以及考研寫作只規(guī)定詞數(shù)下限有所區(qū)別,但實(shí)際考試時(shí)允許少量超標(biāo),比如接近60詞。
內(nèi)容、結(jié)構(gòu)、語言和形式
首先可根據(jù)各要點(diǎn)的邏輯關(guān)系調(diào)整寫作順序,比如在本題中,先解釋利潤增長的原因,再感謝員工,最后宣布獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。其次應(yīng)針對(duì)要點(diǎn)簡要展開論述,比如利潤增長的原因可能是銷售量增加(the increase of sales)、成本降低(the reduction of cost)或推出新產(chǎn)品(the launch of the new product);而獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)的內(nèi)容經(jīng)常是集體旅行(a company trip)、漲工資(an increase of salary)或發(fā)放獎(jiǎng)金(bonus)。要點(diǎn)擴(kuò)展應(yīng)注意兩點(diǎn):其一,商務(wù)交流要求具體,比如利潤的增長比去年同時(shí)段增加10%;其二,擴(kuò)展內(nèi)容應(yīng)符合商務(wù)實(shí)際,如全體員工工資上浮50%、增加帶薪假期(paid leave)、開派對(duì)(a party)或唱卡拉
OK(Karaoke)等獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)都是不符合商務(wù)實(shí)際的。如果確實(shí)對(duì)商務(wù)實(shí)務(wù)不熟悉,可用簡單的理由以避免出錯(cuò),比如公司業(yè)績?cè)鲩L的原因可以寬泛地寫成是員工的努力工作和加班(hard work and long working hours)。
結(jié)構(gòu)
因?yàn)槲恼聝?nèi)容很少,總詞數(shù)只有50個(gè)詞左右,寫作時(shí)應(yīng)寫成一個(gè)整體,不應(yīng)出現(xiàn)每句一段的散文詩文章,而且不要刻意使用first和second之類的過渡詞語。
語言
Part One題目中的要點(diǎn)通常以三個(gè)現(xiàn)在分詞形式給出,寫作時(shí)通常是三句話,即針對(duì)每個(gè)現(xiàn)在分詞寫一句 話,平均句長在15個(gè)詞左右。備考時(shí)應(yīng)針對(duì)題目中常見的分詞動(dòng)詞準(zhǔn)備相應(yīng)的表達(dá)方式,盡量避免重復(fù)使用題目中的詞句即可。
解釋原因:
連詞:because, since, for, so;短語:because of, due to, owing to
表示感謝:
Thank you very much for...;I would like to thank you for...;I am very grateful for...;It was very kind of you to...獎(jiǎng)勵(lì):
A rise in salary of X%;A bonus of X% of your monthly salary;A trip to
Hawaii/Athens/Maldives
需要注意的是,商務(wù)英語要求正式文體,較之非正式文體,其有以下常見特點(diǎn):
正式 非正式
Headquarters, September(不簡寫)H.Q.Sept.(縮寫)
schedule, discuss(精確動(dòng)詞)set, talk about(寬泛動(dòng)詞或詞組)
A copy has been sent.(被動(dòng)語態(tài))I sent you a copy.(主動(dòng)語態(tài))
最后需要考慮的就是備忘錄的形式。正式考試時(shí),文字題目下方會(huì)模擬商務(wù)實(shí)際,附上備忘錄開頭片段,包括To, From, Date, Subject等細(xì)節(jié),但是考生不必直接在片段后書寫,應(yīng)該在試題紙背面寫作,寫作時(shí)不要求必須有From, To等內(nèi)容,但若能準(zhǔn)確而符合商務(wù)習(xí)慣地寫出備忘錄細(xì)節(jié),無疑會(huì)增加文章的印象分,這里簡單介紹一下備忘錄細(xì)節(jié)的注意事項(xiàng)。
To: 備忘錄對(duì)象
如果具體到人,最好寫出全名,不要寫自己的真實(shí)姓名,有作弊嫌疑,尤其不能“重名”,如Bill Tom,Bill和Tom都是名(Given name),而不是姓(Family name),一個(gè)簡單的處理方法就是use others?name,比如男名Bill Gates, Michael Scofield, Jay Chou或女名
From: 備忘錄作者
要點(diǎn)同上,一般不用尊稱,只有對(duì)方不知道自己身份的時(shí)候才后綴職位名稱。
Date: 日期
BEC屬于英聯(lián)邦國家的考試,日期的寫法一般為日、月、年,比如7 December 2002,注意月份用英文而不是數(shù)字,以免和日期混淆,可以縮寫,比如將一月寫作Jan(也可以用開放標(biāo)點(diǎn))。
Britney Spears, Jennifer Aniston等;若顯示關(guān)系親密,還可以把名字縮寫,比如B.Gates, M.Scofield, J.Chou, B.Spears, J.Aniston等;如果寫給上級(jí),還應(yīng)該加上尊稱甚至職位,比如Mr.Bill Gates — Managing Director, Mr.Jay Chou — Art Director等;現(xiàn)代商務(wù)寫作中流行開放標(biāo)點(diǎn)(Open Punctuation),即標(biāo)點(diǎn)不影響理解的時(shí)候可以不用,所以Mr./Ms./Mrs.后面的省略點(diǎn)也可以省去,簡單寫成Mr/Ms/Mrs;最好不要省去名字。

Introduction
This report sets out to examine how the company should re-invest this years profits.The areas under consideration are the purchase of new computers, the provision of language training courses and the payment of special bonuses.Areas under consideration New computers
The majority of company computers are quite new and fast enough to handle the work done on them.Consequently, new computers would not be recommended.Language training courses
The company aims to increase exports, particularly in Spain and France.Therefore, Language training courses would be an excellent idea for those employees who deal with business partners and customers overseas.In addition, training courses would increase motivation: staff would enjoy the lessons and perceive that the company in investing in them.Therefore, language training would be an option.Special bonus payments
Although special bonus payments would have a beneficial impact on motivation, they would have no direct effect on the companies operations.There are also potential problems concerning the selection of staff eligible for the payments and the setting of a precedent for future payments.Therefore, bonus payments would not be advisable.Recommendations
It is felt that the best solution for the company and staff would be to invest in language training.It is suggested that the company should organize course in French and Spanish.Those employees who have contact with partners and customers should be assured of places but other invested members of staff should also be allowed to attend.Supplier relationships Ex 3: Sample answer:(246words)
Introduction
The aim of the report is to recommend a supplier for our new range of leisurewear.A committee from the Purchasing Department was presented with a shortlist of five potential suppliers to select from.The criteria considered was price, quality, delivery and flexibility.Findings
It was found that, taking the companies' overall ratings into consideration, there was negligible difference between suppliers.Consequently, the committee decided to narrow its focus to the area considered to be of major importance for QuayWest's image, namely quality and price.Consort Trading Despite offering the best deal financially, the company is unable to guarantee garments compliant with EU standards.Samokovska Although it produces goods of an extremely high quality for exclusive markets, this supplier charge high prices,part of which would necessarily be passed on to customers.Namlong Sportswear The poor standards of craftsmanship make it difficult to justify paying the prices quoted.Shiva Trading Sample items from this supplier show an acceptable quality level.Furthermore, the deals currently on offer make it an attractive option.Hai Xin Group There is some doubt as to whether garments produced by this company would meet EU standards.In view of this, the prices appear unreasonably high.Conclusions
It was felt to be unwise to risk compromising the company's image by using suppliers of low quality goods.Similarly, using an expensive supplier could affect QuayWest's reputation for value for money.Recommendations
Consequently, it is suggested that QuayWest negotiates a contract with Shiva Trading.
