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。
