2017年10月湖南自考英语:外贸函电00094复习资料(3)
7.inform/advise
They have informed us that……该处已经告知我们……
Inform 做通知讲时,可与advise换用。
常用结构:
a. 宾语后接of短语: in form (advise) somebody of something. 不过近来国外来信有省略介词of的现象。We shall in form (advise) you (of) the date of shipment.我们将把装运日期通知你方。
b. 宾语后接从句 inform (advise) somebody + that/what/which: We wish to inform (advise) you that business has been done at US$110 per metric ton. 我们已经以每公吨110美元的价格成交,特此告知。
c.兹通知(你们)……Please be informed (advised) that……: Please be informed (advised) that we have already sent the samples requested. 兹通知你方,我方已经将所索样品寄出。
注意:如果省略宾语(人称代词)则不宜使用inform。如:Please advise the name of steamer. 请告知船名。Please advise what quantity you can sell a year.请告知每年可销售的数量。在这种情况下,不能用inform,只能用advise。
in the market for something
in the market for something 是书面语言,表示想买进某物。如课文中:You are in the market for Chemicals. 你公司要购买化工产品。
除此以外,in the market for something 也可以引申于“乐于接受某物”。如:I'm always in the market for good new ideas.我总是乐于接受有益的新建议。
in the market 是想要买(或卖)的意思。如:Please advise us when you are in the market.当你们想要买(或卖)时,请告知我们。
In the market 还可以做“上市,出售,可以买到”解,同on the market可以相互替代。
如:This is the best article on the market.这是市场上可以买到的最好的商品。
又如:The article will be on the market.商品本周就会上市。
其他一些在商业中会用到的market词组:
at the market 主要用于交易所,意思是:照市价,照当前最好的行情。
bring to market, put on the market, come into the market 都可以用来表示:在市场上出售,投放市场。如:The new color TV will come into the market soon. 新型彩色电视机不久将投放市场。
lose one's market 失去做买卖的机会。如:We don't want to lose our market by sticking to have it at the market price. 我们不想因为坚持按市价购进而失去做买卖的机会。
price out of the market (商品)定价过高而无人购买。如:If you don't accept a low profit, you'll price yourself right out of the market. 如果你不同意降低利润,就只有漫天要价无人问津了。
