1 Introduction
1.1 The background and significance of the study
With the development of China’s economy and comprehensive national strength, the foreign trade and economic cooperation with other countries and areas have greatly augmented especially when China has entered into the WTO. At the same time, production manufactures in one area but expenditure takes place everywhere all over the world, so it is impossible for every businessman to have direct conversation with his customers and suppliers. Since late 1960s and early 1970s, business English, as a branch of English for specific purposes, is separated from the unique terminology and general English, and has gradually led to many language courses in many countries of the world. And nowadays, more than 400 colleges and universities have opened the subject of Business English. As is known to all, there is a close contact between the international finance and the country’s domestic finance.
