隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化和我國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的改革開放,國(guó)內(nèi)和國(guó)際物流在社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)生活中扮演著越來越重要的角色。現(xiàn)代物流行業(yè)對(duì)人才的需求是不僅要具備物流方面的專業(yè)知識(shí),還要具備一定的外語應(yīng)用能力。
本書作為高等職業(yè)院校物流專業(yè)英語教材,分為三個(gè)部分:第一部分為物流基礎(chǔ)知識(shí),分為10個(gè)單元,以基本的物流活動(dòng)為主線,涵蓋了物流系統(tǒng)中各環(huán)節(jié)的專業(yè)英語知識(shí);第二部分為相關(guān)的商務(wù)信函,包括商務(wù)信函的基本結(jié)構(gòu)、電子形式和相關(guān)物流商務(wù)信函實(shí)例;第三部分是常用的國(guó)際物流單證范例。
本書注重與學(xué)生的互動(dòng)性和內(nèi)容的實(shí)用性,改變了大多數(shù)高職物流英語教材內(nèi)容形式單一的情況:從聽、說、讀、寫多個(gè)方面展開教材的各章內(nèi)容;所選取的內(nèi)容是物流行業(yè)中最常見、通用和核心的業(yè)務(wù)內(nèi)容;各章有專業(yè)詞匯,與高職學(xué)生助理物流師培訓(xùn)考試中的英語部分對(duì)接;各章案例和課后閱讀理解真實(shí)地再現(xiàn)了物流運(yùn)營(yíng)的實(shí)戰(zhàn)情況。
通過學(xué)習(xí)本書,學(xué)生能夠了解并掌握物流方面基本的專業(yè)術(shù)語,能夠閱讀和翻譯物流方面的英文文章,用英文進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)單的物流會(huì)話并撰寫簡(jiǎn)單的物流英語短文和信函,從而為從事涉外物流相關(guān)工作打下基礎(chǔ)。
為了方便老師教學(xué),本書免費(fèi)提供電子課件、習(xí)題參考答案、參考譯文、聽力原文、聽力音頻資料等。下載地址:http://www.tup.com.cn。
