商务英语10000单词（不提供光盘内容）试读：
前言
工作以后，我们都庆幸不用再背英语单词了。但每逢在工作中遇到英语，我们都会感到背过的四六级词汇不够用。无论是商业报刊、商务文书，还是国外客户的函件，都会出现一些你不熟悉的词汇。就算这些英语的句子都比较简单，那些词汇都会成为你的理解障碍。
那么，有没有可能专门收集这类词汇，让学习者突击一下，在短期内实现突破呢？经过分析，我们认为完全有可能。首先，这些词汇都存在于一定范围内：工作中会看到和用到的商务英语。其次，这些词的出现频率较高，因为商务表达都注重简洁有效，人们一般会使用相对约定俗成的语言。如此一来，我们就有了选择本书词汇的依据：在约定范围内选择使用频率高、读者熟悉度较低的词汇。
同时，我们也确定了本书的选词原则：精确有效。全书收词量不算大，一两个月就能背完。而一旦攻下这些词汇再学习商务英语，读者就会感觉畅通许多。商务英语其实并不难，很少出现长难句，过去困扰你的就是这些词，而这些词在各种类型的商务英语中会频繁出现，一旦被你掌握，你就几乎是无往不克了。
除了选词，本书编写的每个环节都注重实用性。所有主词都配音标。单词的释义部分不像其他单词书那样罗列很多义项，而是只选取一两个在商务环境中最常用的词义，减轻读者的记忆负担。所有例句或来自商务材料，或在商务背景下编写，让读者在真实语境中学习词汇，灵活掌握词汇用法。
这本书将收集的商务词汇分为三部分：高频词汇、实用短语、分类词汇。读者可以根据自身需要从不同部分开始学习。
Part 1商务英语高频词汇。这部分词汇主要来源于报刊文章和广播新闻，精选了出现频率高又相对较难的词汇约700个。熟记这些词，你在阅读商业刊物、收听商业新闻时就会感到顺畅许多。
Part 2商务英语实用短语。这部分精选了商务文书和商务交流中的常用短语，约800条。在英语中，无论口语还是书面写作，由2至5个单词组成的短语占了相当大的比例。因此，我们应该多记短语，而不是只背单词。短语的语义不像单词那么明确，脱离了语境就很难记住。如果借助书中例句提供的语境，先理解再记忆，效果就会好很多。
Part 3商务英语分类词汇。这部分词汇按商务领域分类，约2000个词汇，涵盖10个类别：经济、金融、公司、生产、营销、公司财务、工作、人力资源、贸易、法律。每个类别下还有细分的项目。词汇有两大来源，一是商务文书，包括报告、演讲、广告、说明书等；二是书面和口语交流，包括电子邮件、谈话、打电话、会议、谈判等。记住所有这些类别的词汇，你就可以顺利地和各个部门的同事沟通，与不同专业的人士打交道。
总之，对于在工作中需要用英语，或者需要阅读英文商务报刊、网站的读者，这本书提供的词汇是极有必要掌握的。虽然有很多专家都反对背单词，但一本有帮助、学起来又不乏味的词汇书应该是例外。如果这里面的词让读者背了就能用，就能在文章中辨认出来，这本书就实现了它的初衷。Part 1 商务英语高频词汇Frequently Used WordsA
