 第四课复习重点
  1.to be indebted to somebody for something
  to be indebted to somebody for something 是这种句式基本语序,但在实践中,如果somebody是一个比较长的短语,为了使整个句子读起来更通顺,更容易理解,就可以把它挪到句尾:to be indebted to somebody for something.
  如本课 We are indebted for your address to the Commercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing. 我们得知你公司的地址,要感谢阿尔及利亚驻北京大使馆商赞处。在这里,要感谢的人是the Commercial Counselor's Office of the Algerian Embassy in Beijing. 阿尔及利亚驻北京大使馆商赞处,这是个比较长的短语,所以放在句尾。
  2.inform/advise
  They have informed us that……该处已经告知我们……
  Inform 做通知讲时,可与advise换用。
  常用结构:
  a. 宾语后接of短语: in form (advise) somebody of something. 不过近来国外来信有省略介词of的现象。We shall in form (advise) you (of) the date of shipment.我们将把装运日期通知你方。
  b. 宾语后接从句 inform (advise) somebody + that/what/which: We wish to inform (advise) you that business has been done at US$110 per metric ton. 我们已经以每公吨110美元的价格成交,特此告知。
  c.兹通知(你们)……Please be informed (advised) that……: Please be informed (advised) that we have already sent the samples requested. 兹通知你方,我方已经将所索样品寄出。
  注意:如果省略宾语(人称代词)则不宜使用inform.如:Please advise the name of steamer. 请告知船名。Please advise what quantity you can sell a year.请告知每年可销售的数量。在这种情况下,不能用inform,只能用advise.
  3.in the market for something
  in the market for something 是书面语言,表示想买进某物。如课文中:You are in the market for Chemicals. 你公司要购买化工产品。
  除此以外,in the market for something 也可以引申于“乐于接受某物”。如:I'm always in the market for good new ideas.我总是乐于接受有益的新建议。
  in the market 是想要买(或卖)的意思。如:Please advise us when you are in the market.当你们想要买(或卖)时,请告知我们。
  In the market 还可以做“上市,出售,可以买到”解,同on the market可以相互替代。
  如:This is the best article on the market.这是市场上可以买到的最好的商品。
  又如:The article will be on the market.商品本周就会上市。
  其他一些在商业中会用到的market词组:
  at the market 主要用于交易所,意思是:照市价,照当前最好的行情。
  bring to market, put on the market, come into the market 都可以用来表示:在市场上出售,投放市场。如:The new color TV will come into the market soon. 新型彩色电视机不久将投放市场。
  lose one's market 失去做买卖的机会。如:We don't want to lose our market by sticking to have it at the market price. 我们不想因为坚持按市价购进而失去做买卖的机会。
  price out of the market (商品)定价过高而无人购买。如:If you don't accept a low profit, you'll price yourself right out of the market. 如果你不同意降低利润,就只有漫天要价无人问津了。
  4.Enclose
  enclose 是动词,表示“封入”。商业信件中常有在 enclose后加herewith的,如We enclose herewith a copy of our price list. 但最好不用,因enclose与herewith在意义上重复。
  表示附在某封信内,用介词with 或 in: Please refer to the price list enclosed with (or: in) our letter of August 5. 请查阅8月5去信所附的价目表。
  过去分词enclosed作表语时,常倒装置于句首。如A copy of our Export List are enclosed.
  在课文中将enclosed 倒装:Enclosed herewith is a copy of our Export List 现随函附寄我公司出口商品表一份。
  过去分词enclosed作宾语补足语时,也常倒装置于句首或置于谓语动词之后:Enclosed please find a copy of our price list. (或 Please find enclosed a copy of our price list.) 随函附寄我公司价目表一份。
  过去分词enclosed可作名词,前面加定冠词:We believe you will find the enclosed interesting. 我们相信你们对所附之件会感兴趣。
  5.Requirements
  requirement 表示需要时,常用单数,后接介词of: We have noted your requirement of samples and catalogues.我们已经注意到你们需要样品和商品目录。
  表示需要的货物或需要量时常用复数,后接介词for或of: We can meet your requirements for Walnut meat.我们可以满足你方对核桃仁的需要。Please let us know your annual requirements of Walnuts.请告知你方对核桃的年需求量。
  注意:表示满足需要,除meet外,还可以用satisfy, fill, supply 等动词。
  6.Promote
  to promote both business and friendship促进业务和友谊;
  可替代的用法是:to promote friendship as well as business .
  7.trade in 和trade with
  in our trade with customers in the Asian-African countries我们在同亚非国家的客户进行贸易时;
  trade 做动词用时,表示“从事贸易,做生意,经营”。
  注意:和某人做贸易接with, 经营某项商品接in. 如:They trade mainly in cotton piece goods.他们主要经营棉布。
