Chapter 1 ·Company introduction translation practice
      随着我国改革开放和市场经济的不断发展，国内与国外公司之间的贸易不断增加，外国人在国内投资开办的独资、合资(joint-ventured)公司迅速增多，特别是中国加入世界贸易组织后，国内公司与世界各国公司联系更加紧密，合作愈加频繁。在这种日益紧密频繁的交往中，尤其是在进行商品买卖交易过程中，无论是买方还是卖方都要对彼此有足够的了解，才能促进商业关系的建立和买卖交易的完成。同时，国内公司要与世界公司接轨，必须更多地了解国际规范和国外公司的情况。然而双方语言的差异，往往造成理解的偏差，给双方的互相了解和合作带来了困难和阻碍。因此，对所交易公司的基本情况的翻译，是贸易成功的首要条件和必要因素。
