在日常交往中,人们经常会用到名片.小小的一张名片扼要地介绍了持有人的职业及通常联络的方法.在70年代的名片上有电报挂号(Cable Address)栏和用户直通电报(Telex)栏;在80年代,加上图文传真(Fax,即Facsimile)栏和ARPA网电子邮件栏;90年代普及了Internet和移动电话,所以又增添了电子邮件(E-mail)、手机号(Mobile)和超文本传送协议(http://……)等栏目. People often use business cards in their day-to-day contacts, and a small business card outlines the holder’s occupation and how to get in touch. In the 1970’s business cards were the Cable Address field and the user passthrough (Telex); in the 1980s, the Fax and Facsimile columns and the ARPA net mail column were added; the Internet and mobile phones were popularized in the 1990s, so they added e-mail, Mobile number and hypertext transfer protocol (http: // ...) and other columns.
