在国内学英语时,一直读英文文学作品是学英语的正途,因为中学课本上选了很多英美文学作品,比如,“Maggie’s Gift”(麦琪的礼物),“Robinson Crusoe”(鲁宾孙漂流记),所以,自己在课外也读“生活在密西西比河上”,“红字”。
现在才知道,在公司里,有很多常用词,是文学作品中所没有的,或者是很少见到的。
比如,“command a premium price”,这是什么意思呢?这表示,可以要比较高的价格。与其相对的是“commodity price”,表示是便宜的价格的意思。
大部分人都最终会给公司工作,这些词汇越早学,就越让人觉得你有工作经验。反之,别人会觉得你只有学校(Academic)里的经验,对你找工作很不利。
我收集了一些商用英语词汇,大家可以用它来检测一下自己尚用英语的水平。
