白領和商務人員經常拚錯的25個英文單詞

這些單詞不僅是學習外語的職業人員難以把握的，就連英美專業人士也會張冠李戴，常常勿拚。白領和公務、商務人員往往懷揣高等學曆，無論職務高低，經常寫錯字也不是件令人驕傲的事情，尤其是常用的詞匯。既然是“白領”，就要對得起白色領子上的那個腦袋。

我們在英語國家裏生活工作，也會意識到以語言為主的“潛規則”－－就是，您可能很有學問，也很能幹，或聰明得不得了。但是，如果您的英文不怎麽樣，英才往往被埋沒, 或做一輩子沉默的老黃牛。

同僚轉來這個考我，我還真的撓了半天頭。好在我不屬於“白領”－－沒有上司檢查我的文字,更不用天天檢討月月匯報。


轉來這個與同胞分享，希望能給誰帶來點兒幫助和啟發。
