BEC的词汇有其特别之处，在阅读或听力中，有些地方大家会觉得理解得很困难。例如：

1、CET中的高频词：outstanding, 经常以“杰出、优秀”的意思出现。

CET听力中经常可以听到这样的句子：

I understand that the astrophysics course this semester is outstanding ，据我所知这个学期的天体物理学课是非常棒的。我们很容易明白这句话中的outstanding在这里的应用

在BEC中，outstanding会出现在这个句子中：

I’m often charged 18% interest per month on my outstanding balance.

如果不了解在商务背景中词汇的用法，这个句子看起来很难理解，什么叫“杰出的平衡”?其实这句话中的几个词都有商务英语的特征：interest 利息;outstanding 未付的;balance 余额。

所以这句话的意思是：我每个月总是为了未付的余额而付18%的利息。这样看起来句子就基本明白了，这是一个总是用信用卡消费，却总是不能及时还钱的主儿。

2、再说一个大家经常见到也经常用的词：virtual

看到它，同学会猜想：这个词一定和“美德”有点什么关系吧?大错特错!

“大错”错在：这个词的形容词常用的意思是：实际的，真实的。

比如：我们去泰国旅游，大家都想看的就是人妖了，拍回照片给朋友炫：Virtually, it is a she male. 意为：没见过吧，呵呵，事实上，这是个人妖!

“特错”是：在商务英语中，这个virtual 却用了另外一个完全不同的意思。

比如在商务英语口语中，点评网络办公的优缺点时，我们说：One of the advantages of teleworking is that you can have a virtual team first to do preparatory work. 这里，virtual 意为：虚拟的，不真实的。

所以整句译为：网络办公的优点之一就是，你可以有一个虚拟团队先做一些准备工作。
