英美經(jīng)濟貿(mào)易報刊文章與其他類型報刊文章除在所涉及的內(nèi)容和專業(yè)詞匯上有所不同之外，在句子與段落的連接方法上基本一致。其連接手段可主要歸納為以下四種：上下文句子間內(nèi)容的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系;替代;省略和采用連接詞?？忌绻伦约哄e過考試報名時間和考試時間的話，可以 免費預(yù)約短信提醒，屆時會以短信的方式提醒大家報名和考試時間。

1. 上下文句子間內(nèi)容的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系：

例：So far， the national trends in costs for wages， salaries， and benefits have glossed over these concerns. The growth in labor costs continued to slow in the second quarter – a pattern that held true in all major regions. However， the slowdown in labor costs is due to solely to sharp cutbacks in what companies， mainly large corporations， are paying for benefits， which make up about a fourth of total compensation costs nationally. Because of slower growth in costs of health care， workers‘ compensation， and state unemployment insurance， benefits grew only 2.6% during the past year， the lowest pace in record.

在這一段落中，作者用了五個cost。雖然每一句中的cost未必是前一句中同一詞的簡單重復(fù)，但都與labor cost 相吻合，使整個段落所表達的內(nèi)容連貫地表述出來。第一句和第二句提出勞工費用問題，第三句提出原因，最后一句闡述了勞工費用增加所生產(chǎn)的后果，意思層層加深，彼此相銜接。

2. 替代

例：But since few have marked down their own prices in line with the metal’s fall， they will be able to recoup much of the differences. Not so the producers， whose income is directly related to the fluctuating daily price on the London Metal Exchange.

但由于迄今沒有幾家公司按照金屬價格的下跌程度來降低其價格，他們將能夠獲得差價的大部分收益。但是生產(chǎn)商家卻不是這樣，他們的收入與倫敦金屬交易所的每月浮動價格直接相關(guān)。

這里so代替了to recoup much of the difference.

3. 省略

例：The Japanese have their electronics， the Germans their engineering. But when it comes to command of global markets， the U.S. owns the service sector.

日本人占有電器市場，德國人占有工程市場。但談及全球市場的占有量時，美國擁有服務(wù)市場。
