商業世界總是對語言有所影響，商務領域貢獻創造了一系列詞彙，如 best practice(最優方法)和 bandwidth(帶寬)。這次的新詞專題中，我們來說說進入牛津在線詞典的一些新詞，它們來自商務、公司及市場營銷語言。
solopreneur
個體企業創業經營者
As you might be able to guess, solopreneur refers to a ‘person who sets up and runs a business on their own’, covering a variety of duties. The combining form -preneur has become a productive one in recent years, with words like technopreneur and intrapreneur finding their way into the mainstream. Another related new word is owner-manager, referring to someone who both owns and manages their own business.
也許你會猜到，solopreneur指“自己創建、經營公司的人”，有多項職能。-preneur這一詞根近幾年有諸多構詞，如technopreneur(科技企業家)、intrapreneur(公司內部創新者)等詞已經進入主流。另一個相關的新詞是owner-manager(業主經理)，指同時擁有且經營自己公司的人。
owner-driver
車主司機
With ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft becoming more and more popular, it’s probably not a surprise to see the term owner-driver – which refers to a person who owns the vehicle that they operate for their job – on the rise.
Uber和Lyft這樣的搭乘應用越發普及，出現越來越多諸如owner-driver(車主司機)這樣的術語便不足爲怪，這一詞用以指“以開自己的車爲業的人”。
onboarding
適職、熟悉產品
This term refers to the ‘action or process of integrating a new employee into an organization or familiarizing a new customer or client with one’s products or services’. The word is derived from the sense of ‘on-board’ referring to being physically on a ship, plane, or spacecraft. The word is also used as a modifier, as in the ‘onboarding process’.
這一術語指“讓新員工融入公司組織的行爲“或”讓新顧客和新客戶熟悉產品服務的過程”。這個詞來源於“on-board”一詞的涵義，意指實際登船、登機、上太空飛船。該詞也用作修飾語，如用於“onboarding process(適職過程、產品熟悉過程)”。
omnichannel
全渠道
The adjective omnichannel is used to refer to ‘a type of retail which integrates the different methods of shopping available to consumers, e.g. online, in a physical shop, or by phone. The word comes from the combination of omni- (‘all’) and channel. A similar term with a different meaning is multichannel, which refers to something that ‘employs or possesses many television or communications channels’.
Omnichannel這一形容詞用以指“一種綜合了多種顧客購物手段的零售形式”，如網絡、實體店、電話零售。這一詞由omni-(意爲“所有、全部”)和channel(渠道)合併而成。另一個術語"multichannel"與之類似，而意義不同，指“運用或佔有多種不同的電視或通信渠道”。
data-driven
數據驅動
With more and more data piling up every day on seemingly all aspects of our lives, a lot more than just business decisions are becoming data-driven, which refers to something ‘determined or dependent on the collection or analysis of data’. From online dating to journalism to dictionaries, data-driven activities are becoming more and more prevalent.
每天，似乎生活的方方面面都有數據在不斷堆砌累加，很多不是純商務性質的決定也越來越趨向數據驅動，即“決定源自或取決於數據收集或數據分析”。從網上相親到新聞業界再到字典辭書，數據驅動的活動將越發盛行。
我們每天身處職場當中，總有各種各樣的煩惱或者滿足。在外企中，英語水平又是非常重要的。即使你沒有即將踏入這個環境中，你首先需要攻克的還是職場英語的問題。如果對自己沒有信心，歡迎來網接受專業的英語培訓，幫你找回自信。
