浅析违反方式原则在商务英语中的运用*摘要:由于商务英语的特殊运用场合和特殊用途,其句法结构有其自身鲜明的特点。美国哲学家Grice提出的会话准则之一的方式准则,即用结构严谨,简练的语言来表达,但是在商务英语中却存在有一些看似违反这一准则的用语的使用。本文便是从这两点看似矛盾的地方着手考虑违反方式原则在商务英语中的语用分析。关键词:商务英语;方式原则;模糊化;语用功能引言随着国际贸易的飞速发展,国际商务活动已经成为各国商务经济的主体内容。作为国际商务交际中的语言载体,商务英语的使用变得越来越广泛,表达的正确与否在商务交际中起着举足轻重的作用,而语言表达质量也逐渐显得重要。商务英语被运用到商务活动的各个领域当中,从经济贸易活动到商务函件等文本书写,商务英语用语要求精准、严谨。很多传统语言学家指出在语言交际活动中要求说话人语言清楚准确,但是从商务英语交际实例中笔者总结发现在很多商务活动中,某一方为了达到目的,语言的表达却使用得含蓄模糊。从表面上看这与传统语用原则存在着矛盾。本文将从Grice提出的会话准则之一的方式准则出发,探讨这看似矛盾的二者在商务英语中的具体体现。一、方式原则美国哲学家保罗·格赖斯(Grice)在20世纪60年代后期提出了会话合作原则(Cooperative Principle),旨在解释会话含义。他提出自然语言有其独特的逻辑关系。会话的最高原则是合作,称为合作原则。该原则由四条准则组成———数量准则、质量准则、关联准则、方式准则(LogicandConversation 1975)。格赖斯认为在所有的语言交际活动中,说话人和听话人之间存在一种默契,一种双方都应遵守的原则。具体说就是每个参加交谈者在整个交谈过程中所说的话符合这一次交谈的目标或方向。方式准则要求说话人应避免晦涩的词语,避免歧义,说话要简要(避免赘述) ,要有条理。虽然会话参与者几乎总是遵守合作原则的,但并非严格遵守。由于种种原因,这些原则经常被违反,而对合作原则的违反则导致产生格赖斯所说的“会话含义”。也就是说,对任何一种合作原则的违反,都会使语言变得间接。当说话人公然不遵循某一条准则,即说话人知道自己违反了一条准则,同时还想让听话人知道他违反了一条准则,这时就会产生会话含义。而在商务英语中,由于商务活动具有较强的交际目的以及特定的交际对象,商务用语中往往会出现一些看似模糊,表意并不是很清楚的语言表达。表面上看这些语言表达违反了方式准则,但是却恰恰符合商务英语的一般特征。二、商务英语的一般特征英语作为商务交际,包括口头和书面表达的基本介质,从其表达方式上看它既具备英语表达的一般特征,也具备其自身的特点:用语专业准确化,用语得体简洁化,用语礼貌化。1.用语专业准确化商务英语相对于普通英语来说,在词汇上有其最大特点,即要求专业词汇的准确使用。而这些极具商业意义的词汇不论从意义还是用法上都与普通英语有着很大的区别。例如:一些缩略词EXW=ExWorks(工厂交货价), 4P代表produc,tprice, place, promotion,FAQ= FairAverage Quality (中等品、大陆货)。又如“duplicate/photocopy of original certificate oChina originGSP fromA issued by competentauthority.”(有官方机构出具的GSP产地证正本一式两份或正本影印件)中,常会有一些企业会将“duplicate”和“copy”的意思混为一谈,都认为表示副本。而在此时“duplicate”并不能简单理解为“copy”。“duplicate”译为复制的或两份(可为一正一副),但其本身并不等于“copy”(副本)。2.用语得体简洁化商务英语作为一种有特定使用场合的交际语言,使用者要求这些语言具有高效性,能在尽量简短的话语中表达所需要的信息。对于商务人员来说,时间是宝贵的资源。针对这样的特殊使用人群,语言表意需要清楚明晰,因此语言简洁避免冗繁和矫饰使之成为商务英语的一个重要特点。同时交易语言得体还可以为会话双方留下良好印象而打下基础,这对商务人员来说也是极其重要的。同时,商务用语的得体简洁化还体现在用语的朴实上,尽量避免使用陈旧过时的商业术语和套话。任何事情都需要适可而止,用语使用过分礼貌,显得做作。并且对于大多数将英语作为第二语言使用的人来说,过于陈旧的语言在一定程度上还影响了对会话意思的理解。例如,We are inreceipt of…(兹收到)→We have received…We beg (have) to acknowledge (兹收到)→Thank you for…Adverting to your favour (感谢贵方的来函)→Thankyou for your be advised that…(兹通知贵方)→(omitted)Expressmy heartfelt gratitude to you for (衷心感谢)→Thank you for…试比较下列两句:(1)Please be advised thatwe have received yourL/C.兹通知贵方,信用证已收到。(2)Your invoiceNo. 248 has been received.贵方信用证已收到。比较这两个句子,很明显, (1)句使用陈旧的商业术语,句子显得做作复杂,相对而言(2)句简洁明了,直抒主题,适合用于商业这样的特定场合。3.用语礼貌化礼貌是人类文明的标志,是人类活动的一条重要准绳。作为一种社会活动,语言活动也同样受到这条准绳的约束。礼貌是建立良好的人际关系和合作关系的前提。特别是商务活动只有建立在良好的关系基础之上才可能达成合作。如果在商务交际中缺乏稳定和谐的人际关系和合作关系,商务活动将很难进行。因此,在商务活动中,注意用语礼貌是商务活动顺利进行的重要保证。三、违反方式准则在用语礼貌化中的语用分析根据上述商务英语的一般特征,特别针对用语礼貌化的特点,对商务英语中所出现的违反方式准则的表达进行语用及功能分析并举例。1.词语的模糊化与不确定化由于客观事物本身就具有不确定性,有时候使用一些模糊词汇或表达反而更准确。特别是在商务谈判中,针对一些不能提供确定信息,但必须使合作达成的情况下,会经常使用一些模糊语言。虽然这样违反了会话方式原则中的要求避免使用晦涩语言,但却恰好提高了商务英语的客观准确性,保证了信息表达的真实性。例如:The sample is the nearest in size to the goods you need.形容词最高级在语义上更加模糊化。这里的“the nea-rest”并未指出具体有多么相似,但将理解和想象的空间交给顾客,既保证了自己在介绍产品时并未夸大其词,也更好地鼓动和吸引了顾客的购买欲。2.人称所指的不明确化人们在交际时,需要注意用语礼貌,让会话在和谐的气氛下进行,从而实现交际目的。但在国际交际中,当遇到一些对方存在明显错误而又不好直接指出时,通常都会采取一些表达,有意地让人称所指弱化,从而避免对方听到责怪的语言而让双方关系破裂的情况。例如:(1) If you had thought aboutyourneeds beforehand, thisproblem would never have arisen.(2) Problem of this type do notnormally occur if custom-ers’needs are sufficiently clear.试比较以上两个句子,虽然两句话表示同一个意思,但是在(1)中明显带有指责对方的含义,而(2)句使用“cus-tomers”,弱化人称所指,这样会让对方觉得这只是对方在说明一种普遍存在的情况,而并不是在对自己进行指责。3.否定内容的含蓄表达化悲观消极的语言表达常常会让人产生消极的心态。因此在商务活动中,我们要尽量避免这种消极现象的出现。而作为商务活动的语言支撑更是要注意到这点。即使在交际中出现悲观消极的情况,也总能找到一些含蓄的表达,甚至积极乐观的因素进行替换,保证整个商务交际能在一种积极、乐观的氛围中进行。例如:(1)Your orderwill be delayed for twoweeks. (Negative)(2) Your orderwill be shipped in twoweeks. (Positive)试比较上述两句, (1)句“delayed”一词带有否定,消极色彩。相对而言, (2)句中“shipped”在此则属于积极词汇。两个不同感情色彩的使用直接影响到听话者的心态,并对对方的办事效率产生不同的理解。4.所指内容的抽象化由于某些商业活动具有极强的目的性,它要求在交际过程中既要注意重要内容的保密性但又要达到商业目的。这时使用不确定的词汇和表达将具体内容抽象化则成为达到这一语用功能的最佳办法。例如:In order to start a concrete transaction between us, wetake pleasure inmaking you a special offer.一些关于价格的询盘,买方常会根据具体情况报虚盘。在上述句子中,采用“a special offer”而避免使用具体的数字。这样做既可以对价值较高的商业信息做到保密,又可以达到期望的商业目的。结语在世界经济迅速全球一体化的今天,国际商务活动对专业人才有了大量的需求。这些经贸人员不仅要掌握普通英语,更要对商务英语的特殊性有所掌握。熟悉这些特征及其语用功能对经贸人员准确有效地使用、翻译、交际以及促进国际贸易的发展起着很好的指导作用。参考文献:[1]Grice, PaulH.

迟到的春风
I HAVE A DREAM 我有一个梦想 如下:Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring." And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" 几年前,一位伟大的美国人,在其象征的阴影我们签署了解放宣言。这一重要的法令是一个伟大的指路明灯的希望数以百万计的黑人奴隶谁已经烙在火焰枯萎不公正。这是一个欢乐的黎明,结束漫漫长夜的囚禁。但是,百年之后,我们必须面对的悲惨事实,即黑人仍然没有自由。 一百多年后,生活的黑人仍是可悲的残废了手铐的隔离和歧视的锁链。一百多年后,黑人生活在一个孤独的岛屿贫困正处在远隔重洋的物质繁荣。 100年后的今天,黑人仍挣扎在弯道中的美国社会,并认为自己是流亡在自己的土地。 因此,我们今天来到这里,开始表现令人震惊的状况。从某种意义上讲,我们来到我们国家的首都,以现金支票。当我们共和国的缔造者的宏伟话写在宪法和独立宣言,他们签署了期票的每一个美国人是属于继承人。 这说明是一个承诺,所有的人将得到保障不可剥夺的权利,生命权,自由权和追求幸福。很显然,美国今天已经拖欠本本票,因为她的公民的颜色感到关切。不是纪念这一神圣的义务,美国的黑人提供了一个坏的人检查了回来标有“足够的资金。 ”但是,我们拒绝相信,正义是银行破产。我们拒绝认为,没有足够的资金在大拱顶的机会,这个国家。 所以,我们来兑现这张支票-支票这将给予我们的需求财富的自由和安全的正义。我们还来到这个神圣的位置,提醒美国的紧迫性,现在激烈。这是没有时间去从事豪华降温或采取安定药物的渐进。现在是时候
