发票

请问发票应该怎么翻译?

字典上一般用invoice,但invoice是用来请款的,和发票的意思应该不一样

这个概念就是和中国的“请开发票给我”是一样的

呵呵,虽然您已经选择了您要的答案了,不过觉得蛮有意思,还是给您另外一个意见 ;)

在business方面,我们和国外做生意,只开过Invoice的东西,客人从来没有说过“请开个Receipt给我们的”。一般一笔生意谈成后,客人付款前,都要先要求先开一张“Proforma Invoice”给他们,然后他们根据这张invoice去请款。付款后,我们需要开一张“Tax Invoice/Commercial Invoice/Tax Bill”给他们(三者同义,只是不同的国家或地区叫法略有不同),必须盖公司章

据说发票一词是中国特色,国外的发票和大陆的发票概念不同。“实际上国外没有国内意义上的“发票”。国外的invoice都是自己写的,仅仅是个list,他们的“工商局”不管发票。” 有更了解此方面信息的,欢迎提供。

receipt

如果你刻意要与请款相区分的话,可以考虑使用receipt,收据
