商务谈判英语重要性
商务英语是英语的一种社会功能变体，是专门用途英语中的一个分支，是英语在商务场合中的应用。它涉及技术引进、对外贸易、招商引资、对外劳务承包与合同、国际合同、国际金融、涉外保险、国际旅游、海外投资、国际运输等等，人们从事这些活动所使用的英语统称为商务英语。
商务英语源于普通英语，并以此为基础，完全具有普通英语的语言学特征，但同时它又是商务知识和普通英语的综合体，因而具有其内在的独特性，主要集中以下几个方面：
1.商务英语的语言形式、词汇、以及内容等方面与专业知识密切相关，它承载着商务理论和商务实践等方面的信息。
2.商务英语用词明白易懂、正式规范、简短达意、语言平实。用词方面多使用常用词，以保证所用词语具有国际通用性，保证能为普通大众所理解，但又不能过于口语化，即商务英语所使用的语言不能过于非正式。有些商务文书(如合同)因为具有规范、约束力等公文性质，因此会使用一些很正式的词语，如使用prior to 或者 previous to 而不使用before;使用supplement 而不使用 add to 等。但在介词方面，商务英语往往使用以繁复的介词短语来代替简单的介词和连词，如：用 in the nature of 代替 like;
3.商务英语句子结构比较复杂，句式规范，文体正式，尤其在招标文件和投资文件经及合同中更是如此。
4.商务英语在陈述事物时往往具体、明确，绝不含糊其词。如商务英语不就“We wish to confirm our telex dispatched yesterday”,而要说“We confirm our telex of July 2nd,20xx.”因为前者笼统含糊，后者就清晰明了;
5.在国际商务英语应用文特别是国际商务信函中，礼貌是其中非常重要的语言特点。
商务谈判英语对话
Dialogue 1:
A: So, thank you for coming, everyone. It's really a pleasure to see you all here. First of all, may i suggest you take a look at the agenda i sent you? Would you like to make any comment on that?
B: Yes, i wonder if we can begin with shipment question first. We really need to come to an agreement on that before anything else.
A: That's true, but it's also a very difficult issue. That's the reason why i put it last. I thought it might be a good idea for us to start with the points we have in common. We'll move on to the shipment issue after that.
B: All right. That sounds reasonable.
A: Well, before we go any future, I would like to say strongly how i feel that it's in both our interest to reach an agreement today. The market is becoming even more competitive and our combied strength will give us some big advantages, not least in terms of the dealer network. Now, i think Richard would like to say a few words about that.
