前言
《工商導(dǎo)論》自2002年出版以來(lái),商務(wù)英語(yǔ)又有了很大的發(fā)展。首先,中國(guó)加入世界貿(mào)易組織之后,社會(huì)對(duì)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)人才的需求繼續(xù)加大,促使越來(lái)越多的高等院校與時(shí)俱進(jìn),開(kāi)設(shè)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)專業(yè)或方向,以更好地滿足國(guó)家改革開(kāi)放的需要。根據(jù)一份調(diào)查(李朝、趙函,2005),到2005年全國(guó)開(kāi)設(shè)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)專業(yè)(方向)的高校已達(dá)547所,占所調(diào)查1,607所高校的34%。2007年以來(lái),教育部又批準(zhǔn)對(duì)外經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易大學(xué)等院校試辦獨(dú)立的商務(wù)英語(yǔ)專業(yè)。從辦學(xué)層次上看,大專、本科和研究生都有。第二,商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的師資隊(duì)伍不斷壯大。從最近三屆(即第五、第六和第七屆)的“全國(guó)國(guó)際商務(wù)英語(yǔ)研討會(huì)”的參會(huì)人數(shù)可以看出,越來(lái)越多的英語(yǔ)教師參加到了商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的教學(xué)和研究行列,新人不斷涌現(xiàn)。第三,商務(wù)英語(yǔ)的學(xué)術(shù)研究從理論到實(shí)踐均取得長(zhǎng)足進(jìn)展,成果豐碩。 在這種大形勢(shì)下,高等教育出版社決定對(duì)“十五”國(guó)家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材“商務(wù)英語(yǔ)系列教材”進(jìn)行修訂,是非常必要和及時(shí)的。拙作《工商導(dǎo)論》作為這個(gè)系列中的一本也做了修訂?! ∈紫龋诙鎸?duì)教材的有關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行了更新。近幾年,在企業(yè)形式、國(guó)際貿(mào)易、金融貨幣、國(guó)際化經(jīng)營(yíng)、知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)、信息管理等領(lǐng)域都有了不少新的發(fā)展,因此,本教材的有關(guān)章節(jié)也作了相應(yīng)調(diào)整,對(duì)相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行了更新。其次,結(jié)合第一版的使用情況和院校反饋,對(duì)部分案例分析和翻譯練習(xí)做了修訂,在增強(qiáng)其針對(duì)性和時(shí)效性同時(shí),對(duì)第一版中的一些排版和印刷錯(cuò)誤也作了更正?! ∩虅?wù)英語(yǔ)是一個(gè)日新月異、充滿活力的領(lǐng)域。相關(guān)教材也應(yīng)通過(guò)實(shí)踐不斷修訂,與時(shí)俱進(jìn)。因此,我衷心希望各位同行和專家一如既往地關(guān)注這本教材,不吝賜教。

章節(jié)摘錄
As an economy develops, it needs a growing supply of money. Theincrease of money supply, however, must not be let go unchecked. Whenthe growth rate of a countrys money supply exceeds that of its economy,its money will decline in value, resulting in inflation. Therefore, moderngovernments have devised many instruments to regulate the money supplyfor sustainable economic growth. In the United States, such instruments areat the disposal of the Federal Reserve System, popularly called the Fed, andthe most frequently used instruments are reserve requirements, changes inthe discount rates, and open-market operations. First, commercial banks are required to store some of their funds(a reserve) either in their own vault or as deposit with their local FederalReserve Banks. In order to control the money supply, the Fed can adjustreserve requirements for commercial banks. Higher reserve requirementsmean that banks have less money to lend, and reduce the expansion ofmoney. Lower requirements, conversely, will result in an increased supplyof money. The Fed also acts as the commercial bankers bank. When commercialbanks need money, they can borrow from the Federal Reserve Banks andpay interest on the loans. The rate of interest charged by the Fed is calleddiscount rate. If the Fed wants to reduce the money supply, it increases thediscount rate, making borrowing more expensive and bank loan-makingless attractive. Low discount rates, on the other hand, encourage borrowingand lending, resulting in expansion of the money supply. Changes in thediscount rate cause more subtle shifts in the money supply than do changesin the reserve requirement. Therefore, the Fed uses this tool frequently. Inthe 1980s, for instance, the Fed adjusted the discount rates considerably. The third instrument the Fed can use to control the money supply isits open-market operations. When it wants to increase the money supply,the Fed buys securities from dealers. The dealers banks are credited for thetransactions, so the banks have more money to lend and this expands themoney supply. To decrease the supply of money, the Fed sells securities.Open-market operations are the most effective tools of control becausethey act quickly and predictably.
