經(jīng)貿(mào)英語報刊選讀

前言

　　改革開放的深入，改變了人們對英語和英語教學的認識。在中國逐步向世界全面開放的過程中，英語作為一種通用語，在人們眼里已不再神秘，它只是中國與世界交流必不可少的語言工具。英語的教學目標也不再像幾十年前那樣，旨在培養(yǎng)少數(shù)英語語言精英，而是要培養(yǎng)各行各業(yè)急需的、能直接進行跨文化交際和雙向語言溝通的千千萬萬普通勞動者。在這種新認識的驅動下，從20世紀后期起，各大學在繼續(xù)傳統(tǒng)英語專業(yè)教學的同時，都積極探索著新的英語教學模式，以培養(yǎng)中國社會飛速發(fā)展所需要的大量復合型應用英語人才——既能用英語同世界直接交流又懂一些專門知識與實務操作技能的現(xiàn)代化社會勞動者。　　近10年來中國涌現(xiàn)出來的300多所民辦獨立學院，即源于上述這種認識。作為獨立學院的英語專業(yè)，也明確提出了培養(yǎng)復合型應用英語人才的目標，所采用的教學模式是“英語+專業(yè)”，抑或“專業(yè)+英語”，即新型英語專業(yè)。　　新型英語專業(yè)的培養(yǎng)目標符合當今中國社會發(fā)展的需要。因為與傳統(tǒng)英語專業(yè)學生相比，新型英語專業(yè)的學生擁有前者所欠缺的專門化學科知識；而與其他學科的學生相比，他們又擁有后者所不具備的英語接收與表達能力。這些瞳專業(yè)、會英語、能直接與世界交流與溝通的畢業(yè)生，是有著極大提高潛力和完善空間的復合型應用英語人才，為國家和社會所需要，因此就業(yè)面廣，很受社會歡迎。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Another deterrent to hiring people is the price of benefits. The growth in the cost of things like health-care insurance accelerated to 6.1% in the first three months of 2003， the highest rate since 1992， when costs were actually decelerating.　　The result is not just that more people are losing jobs； they are staying out of work for longer. People who become unemployed now stay out of work on average for almost 20 weeks， the longest since early 1984. The proportion of workers who exhaust their unemployment benefits before they find work is the highest since record began in the early 1970s.　　What will turn this gloomy picture around? Optimists reckon that many ingredients for an economic rebound are already in place. With the Iraq war over， the geopolitical uncertainty that hobbled business investment has fallen. Oil prices have fallen back， consumer confidence　　has shot up， share prices are well off their mid-March lows and spreads on corporate bonds have narrowed.　　In testimony to Congress on April 30th， the best-known optimist， Alan Greenspan， argued that the economy was "positioned to expand at a noticeably better pace than it has during the past year". At its meeting on May 6th， the Federal Reserves policy-making committee decided to keep short-term interest rates on hold.
