“营业执照”的英语表达是 “business license” ,也可表述为 “business registration certificate” 或 “business operation license”(在不同语境或地区可能有一定差异,但“business license”最为常用)。
business license:这是最常用、最简洁的表达,在商业文件、法律文书以及日常交流中广泛使用。例如:The company needs to apply for a business license before it can start operating.(公司需要在开始运营前申请营业执照。 )
business registration certificate:强调“注册”这一行为,侧重于表明企业已完成法定注册程序,获得了合法经营的凭证。例如:You should submit the business registration certificate when applying for a bank account.(申请银行账户时,你需要提交营业执照注册证书。 )
business operation license:突出“经营”许可,意味着获得该证件后企业有资格开展特定业务活动。例如:The restaurant obtained its business operation license after passing all the health and safety inspections.(这家餐厅通过所有卫生和安全检查后,获得了营业执照。 )
