第二篇：英美报刊常用词汇集锦

经济贸易方面的基本词汇是必须要掌握的。比如要阅读西方国家经济状况的文章，就需要对描述经济状况的基本词汇有所了解，如：business cycle(商业周期)，capital goods(资本货物)，economic recession(经济衰退)，credit-crunching(紧缩信贷)，currency reserve(货币储备)，以及deflation(通货收缩)等。

如要读懂有关商品市场的文章就需了解诸如bear market(空头市场)，bull market(多头市场)，futures market(期货市场)，potential market(潜在市场)等各种市场词汇，同时还需了解描述各种价格的词汇，如constant price(不变价格)，contract price(合同价格)，ceiling price(上限价格)和floor price(下限价格)等等。同时还要了解涉及商品贸易的词汇，如rebuilding of stocks(吃进库存)，sampling(选样调查)，spot sales(出售现货)等等。

要阅读涉及贸易和贸易壁垒方面的文章，就应了解诸如dumping(倾销)和antidumping(反倾销)；有关各种配额的词汇，如absolute quotas(绝对配额)、country quotas(国别配额)，import quotas(进口配额)，global quotas(全球配额)，及prohibited tariff(禁止性关税)，protective rate(保护性关税)等等。

同样，如阅读有关货币汇价波动的文章，就必须掌握诸如capital export(资本输出)，capital inflow(资本流入)，currency duation or ruation(货币贬值或增值)，floating exchange rate(浮动汇率)等基本词汇。

其他经济领域，如国际收支、有关贸易做法以及市场调研都是如此，每一范畴都有其基本的词汇。只有掌握了这些基本词汇，才能读懂经贸报刊文章的主要内容。

英美经贸报刊中除了有以上涉及的专业词汇外，还包括大量不断涌现的新词汇，诸如Euro(欧元)、pro-market(主供市场经济)、roll-on & roll-off traffic(滚动式运输)、moonlight-job(“月光”工作；非正式工作)业已成为人们所熟悉的字眼。

我们今天拥有新词汇的数量之多是可想而知的。全部掌握这些词汇是不可能的，但是如果能够熟悉新词的构成模式，尤其对组合词(compound words)的构成形式有所了解，对新词汇的掌握会大有裨益。
