　　外贸翻译三大特点

　　Three Characteristics of Foreign Trade Translation

　　一、充分认识外贸英语词汇的特点

　　I. Fully Understanding the Characteristics of Foreign Trade English Vocabulary

The translation errors caused by the misunderstanding of word meaning are the most common errors in foreign trade English translation.

　　二、记笔记的习惯

　　2. The habit of taking notes

　　这确实是一个好习惯，但是有的人会坚持记得非常细致，导致后面的来不及记录，累计下来就使译文充满着拼凑感，让人觉得不同选，所以记笔记一定要掌握技巧，不能一味的全部记下来，一般情况下记录一些重要的概念，逻辑关系以及一些孤立的，难易记忆的内容，比如数字，专业名词等。

　　This is indeed a good habit, but some people will insist on remembering very carefully, which will lead to the late record, which will make the translation full of a sense of patchwork and make people feel different choices. Therefore, note-taking skills must be mastered, not all of them can be recorded blindly. Generally, some important concepts, logical relations and some isolated, hard to remember are recorded. Rong, such as numbers, professional terms and so on.

　　三、语言活动围绕着贸易活

　　3. Language Activities Around Trade Activities

　　外贸英语的语场既包括外贸工作者从事的各种进出口业务活动, 又包括他们用以表达进出口业务的语言。在外贸活动中, 为了达到有效交际, 主要语言活动必须紧紧围绕着贸易活动这个话题进行, 贸易工作者必须使用能够有效表达这个话题的语言项目, 如贸易术语、贸易习惯用语、固定语法和语篇格式( 例如国际贸易定价单、合同) 等。

　　The language field of foreign trade English includes not only the various import and export business activities of foreign trade workers, but also the language they use to express their import and export business. In foreign trade activities, in order to achieve effective communication, the main language activities must be closely around the topic of trade activities.
