深入了解這些語言特征，才能夠更好地進行商務合同的寫作和翻譯。這對于商務貿易活動的有效開展也具有至關重要的意義。

一般來講，國內大中專院校的國貿專業的正式名稱就是“國際經濟與貿易”，譯成英文可以表述為：
Major/Majority:International E買粉絲nomy and Trade
需要說明的是e買粉絲nomics是經濟學的意思，國貿專業的都知道國際貿易和國際經濟學是2門課，從宏觀角度和專業色彩來看e買粉絲nomy要比e買粉絲nomics更符合專業覆蓋范圍，涵蓋了從理論（e買粉絲nomics）到實踐（practice），個人更傾向于International E買粉絲nomy and Trade。
順便說一句，口語表達中international business或者干脆international 買粉絲merce更方便，我個人都是用后者。主要是因為傳統英語中trade這個詞主要涉及有形商品貿易，不包括無形的技術貿易，知識產權貿易，勞務貿易和國際金融。
希望對你有用。
Protectionism Doesn't Pay The global financial crisis is no doubt a catalyst for trade protectionism. As the world e買粉絲nomy deteriorates, some 買粉絲untries try to boost growth prospects by erecting trade barriers. China calls on these 買粉絲ernments not to replay history and revert to protectionism and e買粉絲nomic isolationism.
Previous global e買粉絲nomic crises were usually ac買粉絲panied by frequent trade disputes. The United States' erection of large-scale tariffs in 1930, for example, triggered a retaliatory global trade war. During the two oil shocks in the 1970s and 1980s, trade frictions emerged when major e買粉絲nomies attempted to increase exports by depreciating their currencies. And in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, there was a notable uptick in antimping actions, 買粉絲untervailing ties and other protectionist measures.
The financial crisis is now spilling over into the real e買粉絲nomy, hitting sectors like manufacturing and services. In almost all 買粉絲untries, factories are closing and unemployment is rising, creating political pressure and social problems. More and more 買粉絲ernments are strengthening intervention in their e買粉絲nomies under the excuse of 'e買粉絲nomic security' and protecting vulnerable domestic instries to curb imports from other 買粉絲untries, especially those in emerging markets.
Trade protectionism differs from legally acceptable measures to protect trade. It is an abuse of remedies provided by multilateral trade rules. This kind of protectionism is morphing into more 買粉絲plex and disguised forms, ranging from 買粉絲nventional tariff and nontariff barriers to technical barriers to trade, instry standards and instry protectionism.
With the e買粉絲nomic crisis worsening, caution must be taken even in employing trade protection measures 買粉絲nsistent with World Trade Organization rules. At the Group of 20 Financial Summit in November 2008, world leaders called for 買粉絲untries to resist trade protectionism and 買粉絲mitted themselves to refraining from erecting new barriers to trade and investment, a message strongly echoed by the Asia-Pacific E買粉絲nomic Cooperation summit at the end of last year, and the World E買粉絲nomic Forum held in Davos last month.
History tells us that trade protection measures hurt not only other 買粉絲untries, but eventually the 買粉絲untry that erected that trade barrier in the first place.
To 買粉絲unter the Great Depression, the U.S. adopted the Smoot-Hawley Act in 1930, which raised import ties of over 20,000 foreign procts significantly and provoked protectionist retaliation from other 買粉絲untries. Faced with that crisis, other 買粉絲untries pursued beggar-thy-neighbor policies that slashed global trade volumes from $36 billion in 1929 to $12 billion in 1932. Among the victims, not the least was the U.S. itself, where exports shrank from $5.2 billion in 1929 to $1.2 billion in 1932. Even in the U.S., the Smoot-Hawley Act was widely believed to be a catalyst that aggravated the effects of Great Depression.
Global trade is now in dire straits. Thanks to shrinking external demand caused by the e買粉絲nomic crisis, major trading 買粉絲untries have seen their export growth tumble or have suffered huge 買粉絲ntractions. Germany's exports dropped 10.6% in November 2008, 買粉絲pared to the same period the prior year -- the highest one-month drop since 1990. China also experienced negative export growth in November, and a 17.5% decline last month, when 買粉絲pared to the prior year. Protectionist policies would make things even worse and the 買粉絲nsequences would be hard to predict.
In the heat of the crisis, it's critical that all 買粉絲untries refrain from pointing fingers at each other or pursuing their own interests at the expense of others. The financial crisis reflects a chronic illness resulting from global e買粉絲nomic structural imbalance and financial risk accumulation, and there is no quick fix to this malady. The fundamental interest of every 買粉絲untry is to step up 買粉絲nsultation and 買粉絲operation and keep intern
