New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away be fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind". He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的) .
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets.
English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.
According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in______.
选项
A、Business experience.
B、Technical know-how.
C、Ability to speak the client’s language.
D、Connections with businesses overseas.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。在第五段中,关于语言的作用,作者说到“A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business,but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal(在商界,第二外语并不是找到工作所必须拥有的技能,但是在其他条件都相同的情况下,拥有语言技能可以给求职者带来优势) ”。显然,这里重点提到的是语言技能,并不是A) 商业经验,或B) 技术知识,也不是D) 与海外业务的联系。句中的edge表示的是“优势”。
