2、sh Writing Focus: Identify the use of B2B . Nodus: The development of B2C 學(xué) 習(xí) 目 標(biāo)1) Many organizations have both B2B and B2C components, but its not unusual for a company to specialize in B2B services or sales. Passage A雖然許多公司通常既采用B2B（企業(yè)對企業(yè)的電子商務(wù)）銷售方式又采用 B2C（企業(yè)對消費者的電子商務(wù)）銷售方式，但專門從事B2B服務(wù)或銷售的公司也是司空見慣的。

3、4注解：B2B=business to business；B2C=business to customer；本句是典型的并列句，but用以表示語氣的轉(zhuǎn)折，其結(jié)構(gòu)為簡單句等立連詞簡單句，常見的等立連詞有and, or, but等 ；動詞短語specialize in意為“主營, 專攻”，not unusual是雙否定，正所謂否定之否定，即為肯定，因此可譯為“很平常，不足為奇，司空見慣”等。 2) Instead of simply focusing on business-to-business sales, modern corporations are conducting other fi

4、nancial transactions online. 現(xiàn)代的公司會從事其他網(wǎng)上的商務(wù)交易，而不會只專門從事企業(yè)對企業(yè)的電子商務(wù)銷售。4注解：instead of 引導(dǎo)的介賓短語充當(dāng)狀語，相當(dāng)于“in place of sth else”,意為“代替，而不是”；focus on 意為“集中”；conduct transaction意為“從事交易”。 3) Without a B2B component, the manufacturer would have lost out on a very lucrative sale. 4注解：從主句中的would have lost可以斷定這是表示

5、與過去事實相反的虛擬條件句，因此介詞短語Without a B2B component是虛擬含蓄條件句，相當(dāng)于“if it had not had”；動詞短語lose out on 意為“未能占上風(fēng)或錯過機(jī)會”。 若不是廠商采取了B2B銷售方式，那不知會錯過多少有利可圖的銷售機(jī)會。 4) With the growth in electronic communications, B2B has taken on even more importance. End隨著電子通訊的發(fā)展，B2B已經(jīng)顯得更加重要。 4注解：動詞短語take on在此處是“開始顯現(xiàn)；變得”的意思。 例如： His voi

11、4.3.2 Translation practice1) B2B transactions primarily target companies and other wholesale buyers, while transactions targeting individuals are called B2C, or business-to-customer. B2B交易的主要目標(biāo)是企業(yè)或其他批發(fā)商，而針對個體顧客的交易則被稱之為B2C，即企業(yè)對消費者的電子商務(wù)。 2) This is why many companies provide B2B options alongside the

12、B2C offerings at their websites and other outlets. 這就是為什么許多公司在其網(wǎng)站上以及其它場所中提供B2C交易模式的同時，還會提供B2B交易方式的原因。 3) B2B sales are also generated by providing a specialized product line or service not available to the general public. 通過提供一種一般公眾所得不到的專用生產(chǎn)線或服務(wù)，也能產(chǎn)生B2B交易。 Activities On Passage A4.3.2 Translation pr

13、actice4) A company that produces shaving cream in cans, for example, may need a specific plastic nozzle. 例如，一家生產(chǎn)罐裝剃須膏的企業(yè)可能需要一種專用塑膠噴嘴。 5) Because the price of these transactions is far beyond the reach of most individuals, there is no equivalent business-to-customer option available. 由于這些交易的價格遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了大部

14、分個體客戶的經(jīng)濟(jì)承受能力，所以等值的B2C商務(wù)模式中其實是不存在的。 Activities On Passage A4.3.2.4 Sentence translation from Chinese to English 4.3.2 Translation practice1) B2B是為時已久的稱為企業(yè)與企業(yè)的電子商務(wù)活動的銷售實踐活動在當(dāng)代的一種速記法。（contemporary shorthand） B2B is contemporary shorthand for a longtime sales practice called business-to-business. 2)個體顧客

17、ile the term e-commerce refers to all online transactions, B2C stands for business-to-consumer and applies to any business or organization that sells its products or services to consumers over the Internet for its own use. Passage B8 Notes To Passage B如果說“e-commerce”這個術(shù)語是指所有的網(wǎng)上交易，那么“B2C”則是代表了“電子零售商務(wù)

18、”，它應(yīng)用于通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)向顧客銷售自己的產(chǎn)品或提供各種服務(wù)的任何企業(yè)或公司。 4注解：本句中while引導(dǎo)的是一個讓步狀語從句，而非時間狀語從句，有“雖然；但是”之意，或表示前后內(nèi)容不同而形成的反差，多見于主句之后。例如： 。While I understand what you say, I cant agree with you.雖然我理解你的意思，但我還是不同意。You like tennis, while Id rather read.你愛打網(wǎng)球，但我愛看書。2) For a long time, however, companies have had a hard time makin
