在编写本书时,我们从社会的实际需求出发,结合专业英语的教学实践,确定编写的指导思想和教材特色为:从物流专业出发,循着自然顺序,由浅入深、由简到繁,循序渐进。本书共12章,由课文(Text A/B)及辅助读物(Additional Reading)组成,包括了物流的各个主要环节,既有理论概念,又有实践知识。每个单元均附有大量的、与物流相关的、英语用法的练习。 本书基本取材于英国、美国、荷兰文献原著。为满足当今物流业实际需要及保持原著的语言风格,编者对原文只做删节,不做改写。在每篇短文后,提供了其中生词、词组以及某些专业词组,并对正文中一些疑难句子提供了注释或该句的参考译文。全书选材广泛,语言规范,难度适中,便于自学。本书本着为物流专业学生或在职物流员工进一步学习英语而设计、编写,推荐学时为30~60学时。 本书由吴健、黄金万和傅莉萍负责总体设计和章节安排,具体编写情况如下:第1、2、3、4、5、6、10章由吴健、黄金万、傅莉萍编写,第8、12章由卢毅阳编写,第7章由黄金万编写,第11章由朱江、吴健编写,第9章由温智全编写,由周新聪、周国强两位博士审稿,最后由吴健定稿。其他负责英语语言方面的校核、注释、作业设计的高级语言顾问有黎健慧、陈若静、Miss Marci Bernstein、Mr. Christian R. Banski、周曼玲、刘集成、王伟明等。 非常感谢院长杨利教授,是他结合学生“双师”、“建构”教学实际,对我们和我们的编写工作给以充分的肯定和鼓励。此外,我们还得到学院其他多方面人员的热心支持,对此,我们也表示由衷的感谢。另外,本书在编写过程中参考引用了一些国内外资料,在此谨向有关作者致以衷心的感谢。 本书经过多次仔细校对,但由于时间紧迫,编写力量有限,书中错误在所难免,希望广大读者谅解并提宝贵意见,以便再版时改正,编者信箱wu_jian@neusoftcom,欢迎与我们联系交流。
