2015年商務(wù)英語(yǔ)初級(jí)閱讀素材一
商務(wù)英語(yǔ)學(xué)詞：
當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間14日上午9點(diǎn)40分左右，美國(guó)康涅狄格州一所名為桑迪·霍克的小學(xué)發(fā)生槍擊案。槍擊案造成28人死亡，包括20名兒童，其中2名兒童是在被送往醫(yī)院的路上被宣布死亡的。警方表示已經(jīng)在學(xué)校發(fā)現(xiàn)槍手的尸體，外界猜測(cè)很有可能是在作案后自殺。
請(qǐng)看《中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)》的報(bào)道
Calls for gun control grow Sunday as Washington mulls what"s next after a deadly shooting last week in Connecticut cost the lives of 28 people, most of them children aged 6 and 7.
上周，康涅狄格州發(fā)生惡劣的槍擊事件，造成28人死亡，其中大多數(shù)是6、7歲的兒童。槍擊發(fā)生后，周日，加強(qiáng)槍支管理的呼聲越來(lái)越高，而華盛頓方面則在考慮接下來(lái)應(yīng)該怎么做。
gun control就是槍支管理。美國(guó)爆發(fā)校園槍擊案，槍手在殺了自己的母親后，來(lái)到母親執(zhí)教的小學(xué)作案。
周日的脫口秀節(jié)目(talk show)上，華盛頓的重量級(jí)人物(heavyweights)就美國(guó)是否需要嚴(yán)化法律以控制攻擊性武器的使用展開(kāi)了激烈的辯論。加利福尼亞州參議員，黛安·范斯坦，在NBC電視臺(tái)的《與媒體見(jiàn)面》(Meet the Press)節(jié)目上，對(duì)主持人大衛(wèi)·格雷戈里說(shuō)，她建議頒布聯(lián)邦禁令，全面禁止攻擊性武器;紐約市長(zhǎng)邁克·布隆伯格，槍支目前是奧巴馬的主要任務(wù)。他在《與媒體見(jiàn)面》節(jié)目上說(shuō)，如果奧巴馬在第二個(gè)任期什么都不做的話(huà)，可能會(huì)有48，000名美國(guó)人死于非法槍支(illegal guns)。這個(gè)數(shù)字大概是越南戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中(Vietnam War)死亡美國(guó)人的數(shù)量。
1994年至2004年實(shí)行的《聯(lián)邦突擊武器禁令》中明確規(guī)定禁止使用攻擊性武器，但是，國(guó)會(huì)同意廢除(lapse)該禁令。
2015年商務(wù)英語(yǔ)初級(jí)閱讀素材二
商務(wù)英語(yǔ)之職場(chǎng)常用語(yǔ)：
1)Thank You: Common courtesy? Sure. But tell me this: When was the last time you forgot (or rejected) gratitude? Whether given in private or public, a sincere ‘thanks’ creates goodwill. Don’t forget your mother’s advice: “Say please.” People are always happier doing a favor than taking an order.
1)謝謝：只是一般的禮貌?沒(méi)錯(cuò)。那你告訴我，上一次你忘了說(shuō)(或者拒絕說(shuō))謝謝是在什么時(shí)候?無(wú)論是在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合還是在私底下，說(shuō)一句真誠(chéng)的“謝謝”都會(huì)為你樹(shù)立好口碑。也別忘了媽媽給你的忠告，“說(shuō)請(qǐng)”。人們都喜歡比人請(qǐng)自己去做事而不是接受別人的命令去干活。
2) I Trust Your Judgment: Translation: “You have my permission. I believe in you. Now, go make it happen.” Feels pretty uplifting to hear that, doesn’t it? And I’ll bet you’d do almost anything to please someone who makes you feel that way. Your employees and peers are no different.
2)我相信你的判斷：這句話(huà)的言外之意：“你征得了我的許可。我信任你。好吧，去做吧?！甭?tīng)到這樣的話(huà)，是不是感覺(jué)很振奮?我保證你會(huì)為說(shuō)這種話(huà)的人赴湯蹈火，因?yàn)檫@些話(huà)讓人感覺(jué)如此振奮。你的員工也罷，你的同僚也罷，效果沒(méi)有區(qū)別。
3) Tell Me More: “I’m all ears.” It’s the ultimate conversation starter! When you signal that you’re open and intrigued, the other party will respond in kind. And who can resist flattery? If your interest is genuine, you may just fuel a productive exchange.
3)告訴我更多吧：這句話(huà)的潛臺(tái)詞：“洗耳恭聽(tīng)?！边@是開(kāi)啟話(huà)匣子的法寶!當(dāng)你向?qū)Ψ匠ㄩ_(kāi)心扉、表達(dá)好奇的時(shí)候，對(duì)方一定會(huì)做出善意的回應(yīng)。而且，誰(shuí)不喜歡聽(tīng)好聽(tīng)的呢?如果你真的對(duì)對(duì)方所說(shuō)的話(huà)感興趣，或許你就能促成一次富有成效的交流。
4) I’m On It: You’re giving your full attention. You’re saying, “Relax. Don’t worry about a thing. I’ll see to it personally.” That response can disarm just about anyone. To express a deeper commitment, use “You have my word.” This makes you more accountable to someone, conveying that you’re on board and will make it happen…whatever it takes.
4)我來(lái)搞定它：你專(zhuān)心致志地聽(tīng)別人說(shuō)話(huà)。然后你說(shuō)，“輕松一點(diǎn)，別擔(dān)心。我會(huì)親自搞定它的。”這樣的承諾會(huì)讓所有人都放松下來(lái)。如果想要做出更大的承諾，你就可以說(shuō)，“我向你保證。”這樣的表態(tài)會(huì)讓你看起來(lái)更可靠。在對(duì)方眼里，你已經(jīng)進(jìn)入角色，并且會(huì)盡一切努力去完成的。
5) I’ve Got Your Back: We’ve all made big mistakes. In those times, step in with a reassurance: “I’m not judging you. You’re going to get through this. You’re not alone. We’ll figure this out together. It’s going to be OK.”
5)我支持你：我們都犯過(guò)大錯(cuò)誤。此時(shí)，不要回避，要對(duì)對(duì)方說(shuō)一些肯定的話(huà)語(yǔ)：“我不是在說(shuō)你不行。你會(huì)度過(guò)這個(gè)難關(guān)的。你不是一個(gè)人在戰(zhàn)斗。我們將一起解決此事。一切都會(huì)沒(méi)事的?！?/p>
6) My Pleasure: This subtle reminder reinforces a key point. You’re here to help others. You have all the time they need. And you’re happy to do it.
6)樂(lè)意效勞：通過(guò)此句話(huà)的微妙提示所起的作用，可以使某一關(guān)鍵內(nèi)容得到強(qiáng)化的效果。你樂(lè)意幫助別人。無(wú)論什么時(shí)候，他們需要你的幫助，你都在場(chǎng)。而且，你是樂(lè)意效勞的。
7) Let Me Play Devil’s Advocate: Looking for a subtle way to critique? Turn the conversation into an exercise where you’re a detached party performing a function: Poking holes in the logic and plan of attack. You use this strategy to stress test ideas without making the process personal.
7)讓我來(lái)唱黑臉：想找一種婉轉(zhuǎn)的批評(píng)方式?將對(duì)話(huà)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐粓?chǎng)操練，你在其中扮演被孤立的一方，執(zhí)行一項(xiàng)職能：戳穿(對(duì)方言語(yǔ)中的)邏輯漏洞及其攻擊計(jì)劃中的漏洞。你使用此條策略，一定要強(qiáng)調(diào)一點(diǎn)，千萬(wàn)不要在這些觀點(diǎn)中摻雜個(gè)人情緒。
8) Let Me Think About That: Yeah, it sounds like a cop out. And it is…sometimes. Fact is, we don’t always have the authority or expertise to make decisions. This phrase buys you time and breathing space. Then, set a date and time for follow up so the other person knows you’re taking him serious.
8)讓我想想：是的，這話(huà)聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)像托詞。有時(shí)，它就是托詞。事實(shí)是，我們不可能任何時(shí)候都有權(quán)或有資格做決策。這句話(huà)為你贏得了思考的時(shí)間，你大可喘口氣。然后，設(shè)定好日期及具體時(shí)間，做好跟進(jìn)工作，讓對(duì)方知道你很在乎他。
9) Well Done: It’s a cliché, no doubt. Sometimes, it isn’t enough just to say thanks. People want to know what they did was great and why. They pour so much sweat and soul into their projects.They need to know their work was special and had meaning to someone.
2015年商務(wù)英語(yǔ)初級(jí)閱讀素材三
More than 116 million Americans deal with chronic pain each year. And that pain doesn’t go away when people have to go to work.
超過(guò)1.16億的美國(guó)人每年都要應(yīng)付慢性疼痛。當(dāng)人們不得不去工作時(shí)那些疼痛不會(huì)消失。
“The number of people with chronic pain is outrageous,” says Scott Bautch, MD, CEO for Allied Health Chiropractic Centers located in Wisconsin. “We need to make jobs friendly for them, but they need to know how to adjust in the jobs they have.”
“患有慢性疼痛的人數(shù)是令人驚訝的，” Scott Bautch說(shuō)，醫(yī)學(xué)博士，位于威斯康辛州的專(zhuān)職醫(yī)療按摩中心的CEO?！拔覀冃枰构ぷ鲗?duì)他們友好，但他們需要知道如何在自己的工作中進(jìn)行調(diào)整?！?/p>
It can be difficult to cope with chronic pain on the job, but not impossible. Here are some ways to get your employer to be more accommodating, as well as tips for managing pain at work.
很難應(yīng)對(duì)工作中的慢性疼痛，但并非不可能。這里有一些方法讓你的雇主更通情達(dá)理，也是解決工作中疼痛的小貼士。
Follow the 30% rule
If this is true for you, try to use no more than about 30% of your grip strength and muscle energy in your elbows, wrists, shoulders, and other parts of your body.
遵循30%的原則
如果你也是這樣，嘗試在你的手肘、手腕、肩膀和身體其他部位使用不超過(guò)30%的握力和肌肉能量。
Change positions often
Sitting or standing in one position for too long can exacerbate pain. If you work at a desk, get up and move around every 15 minutes or so, says Dr. Bautch. And don’t feel guilty about it—studies show break-takers are as productive—sometimes more—as people who don’t take them.
經(jīng)常改變姿勢(shì)
坐或站在一個(gè)位置太久會(huì)加重疼痛。如果你在桌前工作，每15分鐘左右起來(lái)移動(dòng)一下，Bautch博士說(shuō)。不要為此感到愧疚，研究顯示進(jìn)行休息的人和不進(jìn)行的人一樣有時(shí)更有效率。
Educate your employer
“You need to have a dialogue about your condition—what it entails and what your limitations and abilities are. But make sure they know you are an asset in the company; you can’t do certain things, but you can make up in other areas.”
教育你的雇主
“你需要有進(jìn)行一次對(duì)話(huà)關(guān)于你的狀態(tài)——工作需要什么以及你的局限和能力是什么。但是確保他們知道你是公司的一項(xiàng)資產(chǎn);你不能做某些事情，但你可以在其他領(lǐng)域彌補(bǔ)。”
Avoid travel
There are a handful of reasons why people with chronic pain should not be world travelers. For many people with chronic pain, a change in pressure, which is a given on a plane, can be a symptom trigger. What’s more, it’s difficult to get up and move around to avoid stiffness, particularly on long flights. On top of this, anti-TNF medications, used to decrease inflammation, also suppress the immune system. On a plane, you are exposed to more germs.
避免旅行
有幾個(gè)原因?yàn)槭裁绰蕴弁吹娜瞬粦?yīng)該成為世界旅行者。對(duì)于許多患有慢性疼痛的人來(lái)說(shuō)，飛機(jī)上獲得的壓強(qiáng)變化可以觸發(fā)一種癥狀。更重要的是，很難站起身四處走動(dòng)來(lái)避免僵硬，特別是在長(zhǎng)途飛行時(shí)。除此之外，抗腫瘤壞死因子抗體藥物，用來(lái)消炎，也抑制免疫系統(tǒng)。在飛機(jī)上，你暴露在更多的細(xì)菌中。
Reduce stress
“You don’t have to stop working, but sometimes you just can’t do the things you used to do,” she says. “I always say, ‘If my body could keep up with my mind, it would be a force to be reckoned with’.”
減壓
“你不必停止工作，但有時(shí)你就是不能做你過(guò)去常做的事情，”她說(shuō)?！拔铱偸钦f(shuō)，‘如果我的身體能跟上我的腦袋，這將是不容小覷的力量?！?/p>
Be prepared for a flare
If you work full time, then you spend nearly as much time awake at your office as you do at home. Treat your workplace like your home—make yourself comfortable and be prepared for flare-ups.
為疼痛發(fā)作做好準(zhǔn)備
如果你全職工作，那么你在辦公室和在家里花差不多一樣的時(shí)間醒著。把你的工作場(chǎng)所當(dāng)作你家，讓自己舒服以及為疼痛發(fā)作做好準(zhǔn)備
Get savvy about ergonomics
Make sure your work space is comfortable for you; have an ergonomic chair, wrist cushions, and use dictation software if you have difficulty typing.
了解人體工程學(xué)
確保你的工作空間對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是舒適的;弄一個(gè)人體工程學(xué)的椅子，手腕的軟墊，如果你打字有困難就使用聽(tīng)寫(xiě)軟件。

商務(wù)英語(yǔ)職場(chǎng)那些事：
職場(chǎng)剩女何其多，被剩原因知多少?你知道嗎?男人不喜歡女人自信幽默工資高的女強(qiáng)人，他們只喜歡靦腆害羞裙子飄的小女人。辦公室剩女當(dāng)然要對(duì)癥下藥，先找到癥結(jié)所在，才能有則改之，無(wú)則加勉。
Dress pants may look appropriate at that conference or department meeting, but they’re not very sexy. A study last year found that skirts give a better first impression than pants, and we all know skirts are much sexier. This year, burn your work pants to land a man!
在公司大會(huì)或部門(mén)會(huì)議上，身穿褲裝也許會(huì)看起來(lái)很得體很合適，但是穿褲裝卻與性感不搭邊。去年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，穿裙子比穿褲子能給人留下更好的印象。原因嘛，就是因?yàn)榇┤棺痈愿幸稽c(diǎn)。今年，找男人就從終結(jié)你的褲子開(kāi)始!

Some are obvious and some aren’t. I hope they serve as reminders of useful changes.
