[内容提要]
《外贸英语函电（第4版）/普通高等教育“十一五”国家级规划教材·21世纪财经类专业核心课程教材》主要涉及以下几个方面：

1.近年来国际贸易实务出现了一些新的做法，因此新的国际贸易理论也应运而生。为了体现这些新的知识、信息，我们合并、精简了一些比较传统的内容，同时增补了一些新的内容。

2.对部分课文做了调整，同时增加了新的课文，朝着“实用”的方向又跨进了一步。

3.对部分练习做了进一步删减和补充。为从“实战”出发，建议读者对汉译英的部分练习，可先做口译训练，再继以笔译，以达到熟练掌握常用句型的目的。4.对部分课文的词汇与注释做了进一步调整和增补，以帮助读者更好地理解与掌握各个业务环节的知识和技能。
