新世纪专业英语系列教材。本教材分为上、下两册,上册为国际贸易理论,主课文选材全部是近两年国外原版书籍,副课文及练习材料也全部选自近两年国外及国内的英文报刊、杂志等。主课文注意理论性、知识性;副课文(多是主课文的实例延伸)注重实际性;练习形式多样,听、说、读、写、译兼顾,尤其注意听、说;收后均配有练习答案、听力原文及主课文翻译,供学生参考及自学。
本系列教材具有以下特点:
一、课文选材新,具有时代感。绝大部分文章是近几年发表的,*新的发表于2000年,以使学习者了解各个专业领域的*新发展和*新理念。
二、生词释义采用英汉两种方式。少数难以用英语解释的词汇直接用汉语释义。这样做的目的在于培养学生查阅原文词典的能力,同时能提高学生对同义词和近义词的记忆能力。所注词汇均为四N级以上词汇。
三、教材在内容和语言上贯彻循序渐进的原则。在内容上,上册主要涉及本专业的基本原理和基础知识;下册主要涉及本专业的历史及专家观点,目的在于帮助学生完成从基础到专业的过渡。在语言上,选材从难度、可读性等方面考虑,贯彻由浅入深的原则。
四、考虑到《大纲》对专业英语学时和阅读总量的要求,我们采用了
