《交通运输专业英语》(第2版)的课文内容仍以公路运输为主线,涵盖汽车构造、交通环境、交通安全、运输车辆和运输管理、物流管理;课文难度与公共英语相衔接,且由浅入深;其教学目标侧重于:扩大专业词汇量,熟悉科技英语文献常用句型、篇章结构和表达方法,提高分析和翻译长句、难句和阅读英语专业文献的能力。
在保持《交通运输专业英语》(第1版)的结构框架、内容框架和基本优点的基础上,《交通运输专业英语》(第2版)调整合并了第1版中的一些课文;在保持以公路运输内容为主线的同时,根据形势发展和教学需要,增添了物流管理方面的课文;对第1版课文中的注释和生词解释作了部分修改,使之更便于理解;在每一课中增添了“学翻译”方面的内容,循序渐进,对常用英译汉翻译技巧进行了简要介绍。
本书以公路运输为主线,系统地选编了有关汽车构造、交通环境、交通安全、运输车辆和运输管理、物流管理等方面的英语课文共38篇。为便于自学,书中对每篇课文中的语法难点和长句、难句作了较详细的分析,对常用英译汉翻译技巧进行了简要介绍,并附有生词解释。
本书为普通高等教育交通类专业规划教材,既可作为高等院校交通运输(汽车运用工程)和其他相关专业“专业英语”课程的教材,也可供具有一定英语基础的汽车运输和管理部门的技术人员和管理人员参考。
