用英语谈谈国际贸易

International trade can be defined as the

exchange of goods and services produced in one country with those produced in

another.

In the complex economic world, no country

can be completely self-sufficient. The distribution of natural resources is

uneven and this is the reason why international trade first began.

With the development of manufacturing and

technology, there arose another incentive for trade, i.e. international

specialization----one country producing more of a commodity than it uses itself

and selling the remainder to other countries. Such specialization constitutes

an important basis for international trade.

International trade first took the form of

commodity trade, i.e. exporting and importing goods. This form of trade is also

referred to as visible trade. Later a different kind of trade in the form of

transportation, communication, banking, insurance, consulting, information etc.

gradually became more and more important. This type of trade is called

invisible trade.

With the development of economic

globalization, few people or companies can completely stay away from

international trade. Some knowledge in this respect is necessary both for the

benefit of enterprises and personal advancement.

国际贸易可以解释为一国所生产的货物和劳务与另一国进行的交换。

在这个复杂的经济社会，没有一个国家能够完全自给自足。自然资源的分布是不平衡的，这也就是最初国际贸易形成的原因。

随着生产和技术的发展，产生了另一个刺激国际贸易的因素，即国际生产专门化——一个国家所生产的某种商品数量超出它的消费，并将所剩商品卖给其他国家。这种专门化构成了国际贸易的一个重要基础。

国际贸易最初以商品贸易的形式出现，即货物的进出口，这种贸易形式也称为有形贸易。后来另一种以运输、通讯、银行业、保险、咨询、信息业出现的贸易形式逐渐变得越来越重要。这种贸易称为无形贸易。

随着经济全球化的发展，很少有人和公司能完全置身于国际贸易之外。因此，在这方面具有一定的知识是十分必要的，这既有利于企业的发展又有益于个人的进步。
