摘要:当前制约我国商务英语发展的瓶颈之一是:商务英语的理论体系缺乏一个共同核心;本文从实践和理论两个方面来论证这样一个共同核心。从实践上看;近十年来我国企业因跨国并购和海外上市、地方政府因海外招商而催生了新兴的交流需求:跨文化组织沟通和外部交流;而我国当前商务英语的教学和科研均缺少对这些需求的回应。从理论上讲;商务沟通具有"兼容"和"专一"两个特性;可以天然地将商务英语知识体系的四个知识板块融为一体。基于此;本文建议;整合北美的商务沟通和欧洲商务语篇的学术视野与资源;将广义的商务沟通构建成为我国商务英语理论体系的共同核心;同时指出了构建这样一个共同核心所需要努力的方向与路径。构建这个共同核心;可以促进我国商务英语的理论建设提升一个层次;可以弥补我国外语教育在跨国并购、海外上市等高层次英语人才培养方面的缺憾。
To date,one of the bottlenecks hindering the development of China’s Business English as a discipline is that the theoretical system of Business English is in lack of a common core.This article endeavors to shape and justify such a common core from both a practical and a theoretical aspect.It puts forward that business communication at interpersonal,organizational and external levels be shaped into the common core of China’s Business English theoretical system.The shaping of this common core may upgrade the theoretical construction of China’s Business English to a higher level,and may as well fill up the void in China’s foreign language education for cultivating high-calibre English professionals for cross-border mergers & acquisitions and overseas listings.
